Join me on a moody, rainy day stroll through Cluj-Napoca, as I put my second-hand Panasonic Lumix S5 to the test.
This is my second time buying this camera, as I usually do, because of my severe GAS. The first time I bought it, I didn't appreciate it enough, but now I do.
Despite the cloudy skies, this camera captures the city’s atmosphere beautifully and proves that second-hand gear can be a fantastic choice for creating cinematic footage on a budget. If you’re considering investing in video gear, start with this combo, please!
I know the S5 doesn't have good autofocus, but manual focus works great, and peaking is super accurate. Another downside of the S5 is the slow read-out of the sensor in 4k full-frame... I honestly know and accept this shortcoming, because I have experienced an even worse rolling shutter with my old Sony ZV-E10.

Gear Used: Panasonic Lumix S5 (Second-Hand) & 24-105mm Lens
Location: Cluj-Napoca, Romania
