Stefano Capasso Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 i have realized that i need to add too much money for buying one of these camera, after selling my xt3. So now i cannot do this upgrade, unless i go for panasonic S5 which seems nice camera now at very low price. AF of it it is not as good as the other camera, but if it is similar to xt3 than can be ok and the upgrade worthy considering that i should add little money. What do you think?

For me, the S5 (and the S1) is still a great camera, the AF is good for photos. For video it's OK if you have enough DOF or if you use 4K 60fps. I have both the S5 and the S5II and I much prefer the video quality of the S5 with most profiles. The S5II has too much details processing for my taste, except in V-Log.

The X-T3 has better autofocus but people that say the S5's autofocus is "horrible" only say that because they won't accept anything that isn't Canon or Sony level or they didn't take the time to learn its quirks. It is pretty reliable if you are doing talking head type work and if there's decent contrast between the subject and the background. Good lighting also is a big plus. Pulsing is pretty minimal. It also has excellent focus assist tools for focusing manually. A great option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubrickian Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I'd rather stop down, deepen the depth of field, and make sure the subject is totally static than have ANY amount of AF pulsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
