New lenses roadmap is out ! (via Nokishita)

My hope also but I'm pretty sure they'll be more in the 800$ price range unfortunately.

https://www.l-rumors.com/last-minute-leaked-s5-info-future-update-will-come-to-support-anamorphic-shooting/ "– An update will come later this year for the S5 to give support to 5,9K 29,97p/4K DCI/3,5K Anamorphic via Atomos Ninja V recorder – 2 new picture profiles: L Monochrome S and L Classic Neo – V-Log and V-Gamut are included, no additional fees – Panasonic will announce 7 (!) “affordable” lenses: 24mm, 35mm, 50mm et 85mm ( available in November < 1000€) with F1.8 aperture, a 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 zoom and a bright wide angle lens" I personnally think this is insane for the price point to be able to record 6K out of the Ninja V ! Perfect B-Cam to the S1H! The primes are all I've been expected for. Let's go Panasonic !! PS : what's left for Panasonic S1 buyers? An firmware update for sure !

Nokishita spotted a new Fuji camera that has just been certified. Fuji Rumors don't say a lot about it as they tell people to wait a bit before giving us some bits of information about it. It seems to have the same wireless communication module that the upper Fuji model like the X-Pro 3. The announcement day should be on October 16th. Is it possible to see an X-H2 announcement out of the blue?

It's normal that they introduce this body before any new GH body, it's a new mount, they need it to sell better than it already did. The fact that there aren't a lot of choice in lenses is not a reality, there is plenty of choice between Panasonic, Leica and Sigma (and others too) and you can adapt every possible vintage lens from the past. The real problem is that the sigma lenses are the only to be affordable, but they don't focus in a-fc wich is a bummer for a native lens... Until Panasonic release more affordable lenses like the three primes that will probably be announced soon, and until Sigma doesn't deliver lenses made specifically for L-mount that focus as well as panasonic ones, the problem will remain. And don't worry, a gh6 will come. No doubt. They just need to help L-mount sales to increase a bit before announcing it! 👍🏽

Yup the S line are incredible cameras, the only real drawback is the lack of reliable/good continuous AF in video (as it's actually quite good and effective in stills mode). But other than that, great cameras.

Yes they definitely should ! Would be so nice if it's uncropped. i get used to the crop with my S1H but uncropped on the S5 would be a nice addition as I will take it as my B-cam. Also I didn't see that it has a micro HDMi port, but as my S1H is the main camera, the atomos Ninja V will be 99% of the time on it and I'll use the S5 only with the tilt screen so no problem. I didn't get this excited for a camera release since a very long time (since the S1H last year maybe, even the A7sIII and R5/R6 didn't get me this excited).

Where did you see mentionned that 4k60p is not cropped? I didn't see any mention of a crop, but I mean it doesn't necessarily translate as no crop. It would be nice though.

I dont see it?!

Exactly what will happen.

Little Photoshop size comparison between this and the S1H. Quite smaller !

Here are the first pics of the camera : https://twitter.com/nokishita_c/status/1299265717515112448?s=19 To save you a click 😉

Yep I have a Panasonic S1H and i'm happy with it, and I bet it could come close to that. But yeah the lens plays a big part of thid look but it's the overall look not only the anamorphic thing. Grading is excellent, the picture is not clinically digital. It looks good!

Ok so here's my take on it done on Resolve (not that easy needs finessing) :

I really love this footage : The most "cinematic" video I've seen from this camera so far and makes me want to buy it !

I personnally use afc all the time for stills on my S1H and so far 90% of my pictures come in focus. Even when my son is running it works well. Unfortunately it's not as good for video and even when it keeps tracking the subject, it's not very smooth and quite distracting. But for stills it's actually pretty nice (and i'm a former Sony and Canon user so I can compare with their af system).

Yup i saw that Sigma but as much as I like Sigma, their latest offerings for L mount is kind of hit and miss regarding autofocus. I know this one is a DN lens so built directly for mirrorless cameras, but I have to see if the autofocus is actually usable or not. I'm using a lot continuous af on my S1H for stills and i'm happy with it, works well with the native 24-70 f2.8. And also from manual focus point of view, panasonic lenses allow linear focus, and even the focus throw. I really like it. So i'm hesitant to buy other brands than Panasonic. I wait to know more about the new panasonic primes (price, size, etc) before making my choice.

According to L-mount rumors ther will be some new affordable lenses as well in the next weeks. It's the biggest problem of this L mount alliance. Affordable lenses. Let's hope they'll come asap, i'm really ready for those 24, 50 and 85 primes 🙏🏽

I personnally find it quite good on my S1H. I feel it's the best focus peaking i've ever used on any camera i owned (several sony a7, several Panasonic GH, BMP 4k...). I thought it would be hard to nail focus but with use it's actually very possible.

Really excited to see whats this is all about. If it can compete with the next Sony a7IV according to @AndrewReid then something is different from other Panasonic cameras with this one. Let's hope they offer some breakthrough new DFD technology wich comes close to PDAF!

It's official : https://www.panasonic.com/global/consumer/lumix/s/s5.html

I don't know about the 24-105 but the 24-70 f2.8 seems parfocal to me. When i zoom in it keeps focus without any problem. Panasonic said that they build their S line lenses for photo and video use, and that is obvious even with cheaper lenses like the 20-60 wich is parfocal if I remember well.
