We are comparing the Sony FX30 versus the Panasonic S5 IIx. In this comparison, we will mainly focus on the videography aspects of both cameras. Let’s start.
First of all, the major difference we see between both cameras is the sensor size. Both the Panasonic S5 IIx and the Sony FX30 use BSI CMOS sensors, which is why we are expecting better low-light performance as well as dynamic range from the Panasonic S5 IIx camera.
Moreover, if we compare the ISO range for photography, the ISO range of the Panasonic S5 IIx camera goes up from 100 to 51,200 (Extended: 50 to 204,800). In contrast, the Sony FX30 goes up to 100 to 32,000 (Extended: 50 to 102,400). As you can see, the Panasonic S5 IIx can provide a better range.
Let’s also compare the Dual Native ISO range of both cameras available for video purposes. The Dual Native ISO range of the Sony FX30 camera is from 800 – 2500, whereas the Panasonic S5 IIx camera range is from 640 – 4000. Having a broader range means the sensor will give you more latitude in your file, and even at ISO 4000, the noise level of the Panasonic S5 IIx camera will be minimal.

Video Auto-Focus
Let’s talk about the autofocus system of both cameras. For the first time, Panasonic has introduced the hybrid CMOS autofocus sensor inside the Panasonic S5 IIx camera.
For photography purposes, the S5 IIx autofocus system is excellent. But when we talk about shooting videos with the camera, the characteristics of the autofocus system change with the frame rate and resolution (as reported by users). This feedback that we are providing here was collected from our subscribers who have been using the Panasonic S5 IIx extensively for 2 to 4 months and they are facing these problems
Findings about the Panasonic S5 IIX AutoFocus
Video recording modes in 4K Enjoy PDAF, 4k 24p, 30p and CROP 60p uses HYBRID AF
Full HD Hybrid AF is Available in 24p, 30p Full HD 60p the Camera uses DFD (Contrast AF)
At 120fps, subject tracking will not be available. On the Lumix homepage, it is noted that Automatic Detection is not available with high frame rates, even with the S5 IIx
Full HD 180p is manual focus only
6K Open Gate Recording Done While Using DFD (Contrast-based AF)
Another big problem is that if the ISO is higher than 12800 when filming, it will switch to a DFD focus
These details should not be discovered later, they should just be part of the camera specs. We know there is a crop in 4K 50/60p and we accept that, any other specs like this should be clear from the beginning. This is not a big deal, but I think Lumix did know this fact before
I think Many of you didn’t have an issue with any of the mentioned issues, maybe ur shooting most of the videos in 4k, then for sure the S5 II or S5IIX is made for you
Sony FX30 Autofocus
The Sony FX30 has autofocus for Full HD 240p. It can also shoot in 4K up to 120p with autofocus
The FX30’s autofocus system is said to be reliable and accurate, with face tracking and Eye AF.
It depends on what type of usage or requirements you have for your camera. If you require fast and blazing autofocus at higher frame rates, then the S5 IIx camera may not be suitable for you. However, if you are a manual focus camera user or your usage is limited to 4K 24/30p or cropped 60p mode, then in terms of focusing performance, you won’t have any issues if you know the limitations of your S5 IIx camera.

GYRO-BASED IMAGE STABILIZATION in SONY FX30
Gyro-based image stabilization is limited to the Sony FX30 only. When you switch off the sensor-based image stabilization mode of the Sony FX30, the gyro mode gets activated automatically. You don’t have to do anything, you just have to switch off the image stabilization mode.
We don’t have such a mode in the Panasonic S5 IIx camera. The image stabilization is limited to sensor-shift IBS only although you get IBIS up to 6.5 Stops.
Such a lethal combination requires gyro stabilization for sure. You have to get a camera that has fast autofocus performance even at higher frame rates. For example, if you’re recording dance videos or capturing something really cool in a cinematic way while holding the camera, then for sure both are required – autofocus at higher frame rates and gyro-based image stabilization.

LIVE LUT DISPLAY IN BOTH CAMERA
Both the Panasonic S5 IIx and the Sony FX30 allow you to upload Look-Up Tables (LUTs) to the camera. The Panasonic S5 IIx is limited to 10 LUTs, but the Sony FX30 can upload up to 16 or even more. The most important part is that both cameras are able to display the live LUT function. This means you can visualize the type of LUT that is being implemented in the footage while recording the video. This is a really helpful feature in both cameras
Easy EI Mode for Beginners in SONY FX30
An ‘Easy EI’ mode does the same thing but automatically switches between the lower and upper gain state if you reduce exposure too far from what the base state can handle.
Focus Breathing compensation in Sony FX30
The Sony FX30 camera also allows for breathing compensation. If you use any third-party lenses with the camera, you won’t have any focus breathing issues. It’s worth mentioning that you also won’t notice any focus-hunting issues. As we have already mentioned, it’s more or less a foolproof camera in terms of autofocus performance.
Internal Fan Both Camera
Both cameras feature a built-in fan, so you won’t have any issues in the long run. Whether you’re recording 4K at 120 frames per second with your Sony FX30, or you’re recording 4K at 60 FPS with your Panasonic S5 IIx camera, the built-in fan will always keep your camera cool, even in adverse weather conditions
Writing Videos Directly to SSD Drives from Panasonic S5 IIX
The best thing about the Panasonic S5 IIx camera is that you can record your videos directly to an SSD drive. Although Blackmagic Pocket Cinema videos are not available to be recorded directly to SSD, for that you will need Black Magic video assistance. But, for the rest of the formats like V-Log and Apple ProRes, you can record your videos directly to an SSD drive.
Shooting Anamorphic with Panasonic S5 IIX and Sony FX30
One thing that professionals may like about the Panasonic as well as Sony camera is that you are able to shoot 3.3k anamorphic videos.
Anamorphic lenses come in different compression ratios, such as 1.33x, 1.5x, and 2x. The higher the compression ratio, the more “squeezed” the image will be
At the time of the announcement, Sony FX30 was missing the anamorphic mode, In addition to true 24p, FX3 Version 3.00 and FX30 Version 2.00 will offer anamorphic lens de-squeeze options of 1.3x and 2.0x, while FX3 Version 3.00 now features focus breathing compensation. So if you love to shoot with anamorphic lenses you can pic either of them.
Panasonic S5 Mark II vs Canon R6 Mark II – Both of these cameras features the same sensor resolution, but as usual, the Canon R6 Mark II features advanced AI AF for fast-tracking and the Jpeg burst speed of the R6 Mark II touches the 40fps mark. Although the buffer capacity of the Canon is just half of the Panasonic S5 Mark II and u can store up to a Max of 70-100 image files in a single burst with Canon.
1. Senor and AF System
We are comparing the two specifications. Panasonic S5 mark II camera features a newly developed 24MP Sensor with Phase detect AF points and support of DFD still there. The Max burst speed of the Panasonic S5 Mark II is 30fps with an electronic shutter and the expandable ISO range is 50-204800. Since it’s Panasonic’s first full-frame camera so, we are not expecting blazing-fast AF performance like Canon R6 Mark II, but at least we will get a more accurate and fast AF system compared to its predecessor the Panasonic S5.

2. Open Gate 6k 60FPS
Both of the camer able to record 6k video, but only Canon R6 Mark II with a faster image processor is able to shoot 6k 60fps and the Panasonic S5 Mark II remains limited to 6k 30fps in 4:2:2 10bit mode. The only issue with Canon is the output the 6K output is available only via the HDMI port.
3. Crippled 4k 60fps? 1.5X Crop in Panasonic S5 Mark II
Canon R6 Mark II Camera is able to shoot up to 4k 60fps uncropped which isn’t possible with the Panasonic S5 mark II camera since it’s limited to 4k 1.5x crop. So, if you like to shoot 4k HQ some music videos, or anything fast u would like to shoot to 4k 60fps.
4. Cooling vents in Panasonic S5 Mark II
Canon R6 mark II camera doesn’t overheat while shooting 4k 24 or 30 fps, but while you are shooting 4k @ 60fps you may face some overheating issues while shooting in hot and humid conditions. At the same time, the Panasonic S5 Mark II camera features an advanced heat sink unit and cooling vents. but, at the same time, 4k 60fps is heavily crippled and the camera doesn’t do full sensor readout while shooting 4k 60fps. So, yes in a way we do have some added advantages of cooling vents in Panasonic S5 Mark II, but they are not that useful due to cropped 4k 60fps, better to get R6 Mark II if ur interested in recording uncropped oversampled 4k.
5. DUAL NATIVE ISO
Dual native ISO isn’t a new feature in Panasonic S5 Mark II, even the Panasonic S5 was having from ISO 640 – 4000 in VLOG. I don’t know the exact reason why these camera makers (Sony and Canon) hide the Dual Native ISOs in their Pro Cameras like Canon R6 Mark II or A74, btw the sensor of both the camera uses dual Native ISO circuits, and during HIGH ISO test it’s visible to the Dual Native ISO high gain and low gain circuit working on the backend of the camera. But, in the end, the open Dual Native ISO Menu inside the Panasonic S5 Mark II camera makes it more usable for low-light situations.
6. Timecode | Waveforms | Live LUTS | Vectorscope
These are some essential ingredients for professional cinematographers out there, all these are only available in Panasonic S5 Mark II Camera and not in Canon R6 Mark II.

Panasonic Announces Highly-Anticipated LUMIX S5II and S5IIX at Consumer Electronics Show 2023
The S5II and S5IIX utilize Phase Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF), satisfying the demand for the feature in LUMIX mirrorless cameras
Las Vegas, NV (January 4, 2023) – Panasonic is proud to announce two new hybrid full-frame mirrorless cameras, the LUMIX S5II and S5IIX, as the latest additions to its LUMIX S Series camera line-up. The LUMIX S5II and S5IIX are the first LUMIX mirrorless cameras to utilize Phase Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF) thanks to a newly developed 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor and a new imaging engine. Developed under the L² Technology alliance formed by LEICA and LUMIX earlier this year, the new imaging engine provides high resolution, natural description, and approximately 2x higher-speed signal procession for high bit-rate video recording. To further the cameras’ PDAF capabilities and make them more dependable, Panasonic evolved the auto-focus system into Phase Hybrid Auto-Focus by increasing the AF points to 779 to significantly improve subject tracking. Once the S5II and S5IIX are locked on a subject, the auto-focus will continue to track the subject, even in adverse lighting conditions and when multiple objects are moving within the frame. Additionally, continuous AF during zooming*1, AF micro adjustments, and options to decrease the size of the AF area are available.
The LUMIX S5II and S5IIX have a powerful image stabilization system for wide-ranging shooting conditions and situations. The Body I.S. (5-axis) in the LUMIX S5II and S5IIX I and the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) from the LUMIX S Series lens were combined to create the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2, maximizing the correction power to allow 6.5-stop slower shutter speed*2. The 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 works for both photo and video recording, including 4K. In addition, Active I.S. has been added for even more stable video recording. Active I.S. optimizes the horizontal, vertical, and rotational correction ratios by determining the status of the camera shake. As a result, the performance of the image stabilizer can account for a larger amount of camera shake at approximately 200%*3 compared to conventional image stabilization. This capability is highly beneficial in adverse situations, such as handheld filming or telephoto fixed-frame shots.
The new imaging engine provides the LUMIX S5II and S5IIX with high video performance comparable to the LUMIX S1H. They provide 4:2:0 10-bit 6K (3:2) / 5.9K (16:9), unlimited 4:2:2 10-bit C4K/4K recording capability*4. With a new heat-dispersion mechanism, there is no limit on recording time to avoid overheating*5. HFR (High Frame Rate) in C4K/4K (48p), FHD (120p), Slow & Quick motion in C4K/4K(1-60fps) / FHD(1-180fps) are also available. The LUMIX S5II and S5IIX contain 14+ stop V-Log/V-Gamut capture to deliver a high dynamic range and broad colors. Plus, a REAL TIME LUT function is provided to enable color grading on the compatible video and photo in the camera by applying the LUT(.VLT/.cube) saved in the SD memory card. Users can perform intended color grading on the spot without postproduction and share images online through social networking sites. This function can be used for live streaming.
Packing the essence of LUMIX S Series cameras into a compact, lightweight body, the LUMIX S5II and S5IIX have further evolved to meet the demands of all creators. The LUMIX S5II is $1,999.99 and will be available in January 2023. The LUMIX S5IIX is $2,199.99 and will be available in May 2023.
Professional-quality photo/video performance for unlimited expression
In addition to the PDAF capabilities mentioned above, the LUMIX S5II and S5IIX provide:
Dual Native ISO sensitivity minimizes noise generation by choosing an optimal circuit to use according to the sensitivity before gain processing. As a result, it allows a maximum ISO 51200 (Extended: 204800) high-sensitivity recording.
Increased capability of higher speed burst shooting at 9 (AFS) / 7 (AFC) fps with a mechanical shutter and 30 fps (AFS/AFC) with an electronic shutter in JPEG/RAW compared with LUMIX S5.
A variety of video functions and recording options
Alongside the recording capability, new heat dispersion mechanism and 14+ stop V Log/V Gamut capture mentioned above, the LUMIX S5II and LUMIX S5IIX feature unique shooting options such as the 4K60p interval shooting and 4K HDR video recording. In response to requests from professional users, video assist functions such as Waveform Monitor, Vector Scope and Zebra Pattern are available. Some features offered on the LUMIX S1H and LUMX GH6, like System Frequency (24.00Hz), Synchro Scan, Fan mode and redesigned control panel, which enables quick selection of menu, are also available on the LUMIX S5II and S5IIX.
48kHz/24bit audio can be recorded using a built-in microphone and external microphone for realistic sound recording. The use of the external microphone and XLR microphone allows high-res 96kHz/24bit audio recording.
The LUMIX S5IIX is capable of RAW video output and All-Intra, ProRes*8 recording on SSD. It also features a wired*9/wireless IP streaming function and USB tethering.
Excellent operability and functions to minimize workflow for one-man crew operation
Building upon the functionality of the LUMIX S5, a wealth of options was added to the LUMIX S5II and S5IIX to provide users with a superior shooting experience. AWB Lock maintains the white balance set in auto. Sheer Overlay can now be used in Creative Video mode making it easy to fix the frame through the footage sequence. The luminance level of 2100 Like (HLG) in Photo Style for video has an extended setting range from 64-940 to 0-1023, providing a sufficient amount of color grading resistance. In addition to FHD, it is now possible to output a 4K image with the live crop function. To support high-precision focusing, the LUMIX S5II and S5IIX provide practical options for manual focusing. While the focus is shifted with a variable amount according to the rotation speed of the focus ring for a non-linear setting, it is shifted with a designated amount according to the rotational quantum of the focus ring for a linear setting. Sensitivity (amount of focus shift per rotational quantum) can be selected from 90 to 1080 degrees to enable the intended focus operation. The MF Assist, which enables the focus point to be enlarged, is now available in both photo shooting and video recording*10.
The LUMIX S5II and S5IIX adopt a large, 3,680K-dot OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) LVF (Live View Finder) that features a high magnification ratio of approx. 1.52x / 0.76x (35mm camera equivalent). A 3.0-inch free-angle touch-control monitor in 3:2 aspect with 1,840K-dot high resolution does not cause interference even when both the HDMI cable and USB cable are connected by adjusting the tilt/rotation angle of the monitor. There are improvements in external design, including a new easy-to-operate 8-directional joystick and the drive dial with an increased setting position for 96-megapixel High-Resolution Mode (JPEG/RAW).
Reliable quality and performance for professional use and connectivity
Overheating is a fatal issue to continuous video recording, especially when the resolution and frame rates are increased. The LUMIX S5II and S5IIX adopt a new heat dispersion mechanism that combines a small fan and a high-efficiency heat sink. As a result, the LUMIX S5II and S5IIX achieve unlimited video recording time*11*12 and livestreaming*13 in C4K 60p while keeping the camera size compact. In case the camera stops while 4K video recording, the small fan operates separately to cool down the unit for quick recovery.
To withstand heavy field use, the LUMIX S5II and S5IIX are composed of a magnesium alloy full die-cast front / rear frame and are splash-resistant*14 and dust-resistant.
For the terminal, HDMI Type A is provided. Plus, a cable lock holder for the HDMI/USB cable is bundled to prevent issues such as unplugging on location. The LUMIX S5II and S5IIX support USB 3.2 Gen 2 for high-speed writing and readout. The LUMIX S5II and S5IIX are equipped with double card slots (UHS-II x 2). Users can choose the recording method from Relay Recording, Backup Recording, and Allocation Recording. For the external microphone, a Φ3.5mm stereo jack and a headphone jack are provided.
Wi-Fi 5 GHz (IEEE802.11ac)*15 and 2.4 GHz (IEEE802.11b/g/n) effectively provide a- secure and stable connection on smartphones, tablets, and other devices on location for smooth remote control. The transmission speed of photo/video data is also increased by using the 5 GHz bands. Compatibility with Bluetooth 5.0 (called BLE: Bluetooth Low Energy) enables constant connection with a smartphone or tablet with minimum power consumption. The settings of the LUMIX S5II and S5IIX cameras can be copied and transmitted wirelessly to other LUMIX S5II and S5IIX cameras when using multiple LUMIX S5II and S5IIX cameras. The LUMIX Sync application for iOS/Android devices allows remote control of the camera using a smartphone or a tablet via an easy wireless connection. In addition to wireless control via a Remote Shutter DMW-RS2 (sold separately), application software LUMIX Tether enables tethered shooting via USB. Users can control the camera by connecting it to a PC via USB. It lets them view the image on a large PC screen while shooting.
The camera’s 2200mAh high-capacity battery DMW-BLK22 can be recharged either via AC or USB according to the user’s convenience. It also complies with USB PD (Power Delivery) when the corresponding Battery Charger DMW-BTC15 (sold separately) is used. Battery Grip DMW-BGS5 (sold separately) can be used in common with LUMIX S5.
Dressed in an exceptional matte black profile, the LUMIX S5IIX boasts an exceptionally sleek, stylish design while the S5II takes on the authentic look as the predecessor.
The best assortment of S PRO /S full-frame lenses
The Panasonic LUMIX S Series boasts a total lineup of 14 lenses including the new LUMIX S 14-28mm F4-5.6 MACRO (S-R1428) according to the purpose. Moreover, the L-Mount system provides the best assortment of full-frame lenses to choose from, for the limitless spectrum of creative possibilities. Color shading correction helps improve image quality when other manufacturers’ lenses including old lenses are used with or without using a Mount Adaptor. Furthermore, LUMIX S5II and S5IIX memorize the name and its focal length of analog lenses such as anamorphic lenses or old lenses to provide a suitable setting of the camera’s in-body image stabilizer automatically when those lenses are used.
Future firmware update
To enhance the performance of LUMIX S5II and S5IIX, the functions below will be available with future firmware updates following the needs of customers.

Panasonic S5x Mark II vs S5 Mk II – Major difference
Panasonic S5 Mark II vs Sony A7 IV – We are comparing the two specifications. Panasonic S5 mark II camera features a newly developed 24MP Sensor with Phase detect AF points and support of DFD still there. The Max burst speed of the Panasonic S5 Mark II is 30fps with an electronic shutter and the expandable ISO range is 50-204800. Since, it’s Panasonic’s first full-frame camera so, we are not expecting blazing-fast AF performance like Sony A7 IV, but at least we will get a more accurate and fast AF system compared to its predecessor the Panasonic S5.
The Video part of the Panasonic S5 is more intense? the camera features open gate 6k 29.9 fps @ 4:2:0 10-bit LongGOP and UHD videos @ 29.97p, 200Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit LongGOP) (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, LPCM) and APS-CROP DCI 4k @ 50fps, 200Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit LongGOP) (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, LPCM). So, u have to face an APS-C crop if you want to have a 60fps frame rate in UHD or DCI 4k which is not that impressive. Although if we combine all those features of the cinema part, which include Timecode, XLR Mic input, and an advanced built-in fan to suppress overheating. We will be updating this page soon as we get more information related to S5 Mark II
