@Darganslayer I also shoot with an S1 and GH5, mostly corporate and marketing talking head/multicam stuff. 95% of the time I use the GHAlex Alexa LUT on both cameras, shooting in Vlog. If, occasionally, it's not quite the right look, I use panasonic's "nicest" conversion LUT on the S1, which does a good job maintaining the dynamic range of the log image but pushes skin tones very red/magenta, and is not always the most pleasing look, or the Skye LUT, which approximates a Panny "natural" look,  designed for GH5 but looks okay on S1 with a few tweaks as well. 

Hope that helps. 

Thanks, @Parker. I have used the Nicest 709 LUT with mixed results, I am going to check out the GH Alexa and/or Leeming LUTs as well. I did read that the Varicam are all look luts (Nicest included) meaning those should only be used as creative luts applied after a technical lut has converted to 709. Have you had this experience? Thanks

Hey guys, resurrecting this thread to see what your go-to color grading workflow is with the S1 and VLog.

Specifically, what conversion LUTS (VLOG to REC709) are you using, and what creative LUTS (or grading processes) are you using for professional results?

I have both the GH5 and S1, but because of my corporate workflow, I use custom picture profiles so the source footage is useable for others. I have tested the Panasonic Varicam and Ground Control LUTs for the S1 with mixed results.

I'd like to use V-Log more, and want to hear about y'alls workflow. I edit in Premiere Pro 2020.

I would say that price, codec and lens selection is a huge plus for the Pocket 4K. You can put a lot of adapted lenses, use all the available M43 glasses, codec selection is big.
In contrast the S1 is still expensive, native lenses selection is limited and expensive, doesn't bring that much to the table (no FF 4k60p) and is just so huge and heavy. Pocket 4k is $1300, S1 is $2500.

The image from the pocket 4K is still nice, perhaps not as good straight out of the camera than the P4K but the robust codec option facilitates grading.

Personally, I'm still deeply in love with my GH5 and I'm not considering the P4K. The S1 is a great body but it's not a huge improvement specs wise to justify to upgrade from the GH5 unless you need to shoot in the dark.

I just picked up a mint used S1 (without VLOG) for a thousand under MSRP. I think the introduction of the S1H really made a lot of folks overlook the S1. However, for my personal use, I looked at my most used Codecs on the GH5 (422 10bit  24 fps 150mps, 4K60 8bit internal, 120fps 8 bit VFR) it made the S1 more than adequate. The only think I don't love thus far is I can't do 4K60 VFR translated to 24 FPS internally. I have, however used the HSV 48/24 and that has a nice look.

I have the famous Sigma 18-35 as well as a 50-150 2.8 and the Tokina 11-16 2.8. Perfect for most of what I do. Just really want to know if it's worth while or whether I'm better off with the GH series and Speedbooster.

I have this same question- do these Sigma 1.8 zooms work well with the S1/S1H or do they effectively put it into S35 mode? I wonder if anyone has done a real world test with video samples.
