#PanasonicS5II #ProfessionalVideo #SonyFX2 Panasonic S5ii - https://amzn.to/3ERaMWX Looking at a Sony FX2 as your next camera? Stop right now and look at the S5ii instead. After 8 months of intensive use, is the Panasonic S5 II truly a smart choice for professional video work, or do you still need a dedicated cinema camera? This in-depth review tackles that exact question. We'll explore if its image quality, OpenGate workflow, built-in tools, and critical fan offer pro-level reliability and results. Can its stabilisation and affordable price make it a smart investment for your professional kit? We'll also compare it to key pro competition (Sony FX3, FX30, A7 IV) and honestly assess if any of its downsides are dealbreakers for professional use. Join me for the final verdict: Is the S5 II pro enough?
