Everyone knows how great the Panasonic S5 is for the money since it can output many different flavours of RAW via HDMI.

I rarely use the RAW capabilities of my Panasonic cameras, but when I do, I absolutely love the results that I get.

In this video I wanted to see whether you guys could tell the difference between ProRes RAW from the Lumix S5 and the internal codecs found on the Panasonic S5, just to see if the flexibility of RAW is really worth it.

All of the shots in this video were taken at the same time with controlled lighting conditions, and the only difference was the codec. I even tried to match the colours as best as I could between the ProRes RAW footage and the internal codecs from the Lumix S5.

One of the biggest downsides to ProRes RAW and all flavours of RAW video is of course the huge file sizes, so you really need to utilise all of that extra data to make it worthwhile.

All Panasonic Lumix full frame cameras can output ProRes RAW, so this video should apply for the Lumix S1, S5, S1H and BS1H :)

I really hope you guys find this video interesting, and if you did then please comment below and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for watching!
