Why I Switched To the Lumix S5II from Sony (and why you may not...)

I recently switched from the Sony ecosystem to the Lumix one! I now use a Lumix S5II full-time. Here I talk about 4 reasons why I switched and 4 reason why you might not.
4 reasons why I switch:
1. Lumix Color Science
2. L-Mount Alliance
3. IBIS
4. Open Gate
4 reasons why you may not:
1. Rolling Shutter
2. Limited Lens Selection
3. 4k60fps is cropped
4. There's no 4k120fps, only 1080
Pretty straightforward and preferential. Let me know what you think! Here are the videos that helped me make my decision for the switch:
1. • SONY A7IV vs LUMIX S5I...
2. • Sony A7IV vs Panasonic...
3. • Which Camera Brand Col...

the only issue is S5II series doesn't have enough lens options, yes it has the Panasonic and Sigma but no cheap lens than makes it very expensive to use,

Definitely is an issue for some people. I'm cool with the current selection but waiting for some good cinema lenses with l mount. Might try using dzo with an ef to l mount just to see how it is.

Truth - reason why you switch is beocuse lumix is one of the must talked about camera brands right now. From the S5ii/x to the GH7. Of course there is the S9. You switch to get views and subs. If lumix wasn't been talked about as much as it is today you would still be using Sony. Probably got the Sony as at the time it was the most talked about camera.

I've been with Sony since the A6300 in 2016. Not sure of when it was most talked about but my video journey has been with my Nexus 6P > Nikon D3300 > Sony 6300 & A7C > Lumix S5II now.
It's true that it's more talked about now but not everyone is switching. It wouldn't be talked about though if it didn't have good features. I almost went with the FX30 or A7IV. FX30 for being a cinema camera and A7IV for the hybrid capabilities. But I definitely switched due to the Open Gate being beneficial to the work I do with clients and the hybrid functionality. The decision definitely took some research, testing the different cameras through renting, and then coming up with my decision of how I work.
