I felt the opposite - the A7cii seemed to have better dynamic range. The shadows looked crushed on the S5ii in a lot of those ISO 100 shots. The S5ii almost looked a bit oversharpened in some shots. Both seem to be excellent cameras though.
@@Digitalfiendscom It’s hard to draw meaningful conclusions about dynamic range from this test because neither camera filmed in their log profile (the ISO in this test is below the minimum for what each camera’s log profile requires). Filming in non-log profiles leaves a lot of dynamic range on the table and there’s variance in contrast and dynamic range between the picture profiles within a camera, let alone between cameras. Comparisons of log profiles are more useful for actually using the camera, unless you’re not planning to film in log at all.
Different lenses, different camera settings. The panasonic clearly has a contrasting style because the dynamic range even on my gh6 is better than here in the video. There is clearly a bias towards Sony. I think this video is unworthy.
I'm not too fond of Sony cameras; I prefer Lumix, but the reality is that Sony beats Panasonic in terms of dynamic range. Nothing is altered in this test.
I dont use neither cameras but comparing both camera at dramatically different apertures is no brainer. 1.8 will always be soft and the 2.8 which is closed down will be detailed and crisp. It no rocket science. A balanced comparrison will both at the same settings. Why take so much effort to do a side by side is non relevant?
I much prefer the colors coming out of the lumix over the sony. I do however prefer the form factor of the A7C II over the S5ii.

Good point. I think I will pull the trigger on the A7C II this week@@Digitalfiendscom

i am so happy i have switched from Sony to S5 so much nicer colors
Lumix s5ii have iso100 ??
Yes
I have the Sony a7cii and I love it but this is a no contest as far as image.

Why use f2.8 on both cameras?
It's not f2.8. Look at the red letters at the top of the video.

The comparison was with similar apertures. Read the red letters at the top of the video.
