If someone asked you why you shoot on Lumix instead of Sony, Canon, or Blackmagic, what would that answer be?

Charles ChevauxGUEST

To give you a little bit of perspective, before I switched to full frame, the Lumix autofocus was still kind of bad at the time.

Charles ChevauxGUEST

7:14

But I think it's a good thing for videographers.

Charles ChevauxGUEST

7:16

But I will answer this thing just after.

Charles ChevauxGUEST

7:20

So I was really hesitating to go for the S5 at the time.

Charles ChevauxGUEST

Or switch to Sony because the autofocus was really good.

Charles ChevauxGUEST
