Panasonic S5 - The Almost Perfect Camera with Blackmagic Workaround
Panasonic S5 is the world's first full-frame Blackmagic pocket Cinema Camera 6K.
It features class-leading in-body image stabilization and an autofocus system as good as Sony or Canon.
The camera is not made by Blackmagic Design but is supported by Blackmagic's Brotherhood to a competitor brand with a slight work around.
The workaround involves recording 6K Blackmagic raw externally to a Blackmagic video assist 12g.
The Panasonic S5 also offers a variety of options and codecs, including colorist favorite log profile Panasonic's Vlog.
Investing or renting an external recorder is essential for professional film making sets to have tools like external recorders and wireless transmission systems for monitoring.
The Lumix S5 Mark IX offers the option to record Apple ProRes HQ within the camera or externally using a USBC SSD.
