5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!
For a long time I dreamt about and had my eye on the Sony A7iii. When I eventually saved up enough money to afford one, I was back on YouTube researching my perspective new camera. Then I saw a video comparing the Lumix S5 with the Sony a7iii camera. Many many hours later, I decided to ditch the Sony purchase in favour of the Panasonic. I cannot make a comparative assessment between the two cameras as I never experienced the Sony. Until now, my main camera was a Canon D200. I was very happy with; It’s still a good camera, but the Lumix S5 is a completely different beast and therefore cannot really be compared alongside the Canon. I’m not a stills photographer. I purchased this camera to make content videos and short films. The fact I can do all this in 4k is fantastic. Apparently, with a certain monitor attached, it is capable of recording in 6K. Compared to my Canon APS-C mirrored camera, the Lumix full-frame mirrorless camera is worlds apart. The D200 only offered 1080p. I was happy with the footage, but the Lumix S5 camera blows it out of the water. There is a bit of a learning curve to get used to all the different permutations in the menu, but the results so far are phenomenal. The fact I can shoot slow motion in 1080p at 120 frames per minute is fantastic! I haven’t done much slow motion, but I’m sure I can make use of 4k at 60 frames per minute in some of my shots.I’m not one for relying on auto focus, so all the gripes over the auto focus issues with the Lumix camera aren’t my concern. That said, I haven't noticed any issues. Almost all of what I do is shot in manual focus. One of the biggest game changers for me (apart from the full-frame sensor), compared against my Canon, is the in-body stabilisation. The D200 did not have it unless I paid a few hundred quid more for a lens that had stabilisation. it’s not even chalk and cheese. Without a gimbal or tripod, I was never able to get satisfactory stable shots with the D200. With some practice, I can get some very steady tripod free shots. I wouldn’t bother wasting several hundred quid on a gimbal. From what I’ve seen on YouTube, the Lumix in-body stabilisation surpasses the Sony.Physically, the Lumix is bigger and heftier than the D200. It feels solid in the hand and the build quality is great. The Lumix S5 cost me around £1,800. The Canon D200 was around £500. The difference in quality and feel was immediately obvious. The kit lens looks and feels much more like a professional lens with a 20 to 70 mm focal length. It’s probably not fair to compare the two cameras, but that’s all I had. The learning curve between these cameras is like comparing a GCSE to a university degree. I know i have much to study and will have this camera a long time before I reach it’s limitations.Obviously, reviews on any product are subjective. If you are looking at this camera and still remain undecided take my word for it, I was in exactly the same position in June 2021. I eventually decided to take the plunge after many hours of research. Besides, in this country, I always had the option to send it back within 30 days for a full refund as long as it was in the same condition that it arrived. However, I didn't send it back because I believe I made the right choice. I have been delighted with the footage captured so far.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera
I won't go into too much depth on this camera but as my second one (and a third S5) I love the Lumix infrastructure. Great build quality, weight, functionality, auto focus is next level and the fans keep it from over heating at the most demanding of outdoor weddings.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value
I had intended to buy a Lumix G9II but the S5II was on offer so I bought that instead with the kit 20-60mm lens and an extra battery. Coming from a G9 the standout improvements are: full-frame, better viewfinder, better LCD, 'cleaner' layout, V-Log and of course the phase-detect autofocus. I've not found anything I don't like yet. I added the 50mm f1.8 and am happy with both 'low-end' lenses, despite having better M43 glass – the main reason I was looking to buy the G9II. Great quality video from both dual-ISO settings. When it came out the S5IIx was just a couple of hundred pounds dearer, hence a 'no-brainer' but the discounted standard S5II undercut that model significantly.
5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular camera
Incredible image quality, both for photo and video. Hard to overstate how nice a camera the S5ii is from both a hardware and usability perspective. The body feels very well constructed and ergonomically is a step above other cameras in a similar price range, (I also own the Sony a7iv). The menus are very well laid out and the ease with which you can assign functions to buttons just by extended press rather than menu diving is a brilliant feature that I wish some other manufacturers would copy. Also, autofocus: it is very good, it doesn’t yet have the versatility of Sony’s AF system, and some of the settings (tracking, I’m looking at you) are poor in comparison to Sony’s equivalent, but it is infinitely better than the DFD system on the original S5 (which I owned until recently). Easily my favourite camera in the price bracket. If you’re looking for a camera that is a true hybrid and you lean possibly slightly more towards creating video content, do not hesitate. Also the IBIS is unreal.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing piece of equipment
From first time I turned it on it just helps me to capture the most magical moments for myself and my clients. It’s without shadow of a doubt an amazing piece of work that makes me feel like it works for me not with me.
5.0 out of 5 stars This camera at this price , Unbeatable
The media could not be loaded. I will not bore you with the deatails , theres a million reviews and samples.Good:IBIS - the best nothing can beat it at the moment - my sample above was shot handheld.Image quality - cinema like ( netflix will be aproving it soon if the rumours are right )PRICE !!!!!Auto focus ! works perfectly for photography, nailed every shot instantly with the native 50mm lens.Bad:Video focus is where this camera will frustrate you.-1080p 422 10 bit - focus is excellent my toddler running around in my room , so light was not the best.Worked perfectly.- 4K 422 10bit (and anything in 4K really) focus struggles keeps breathing and hunting for no reason. this would have been the perfect camera if it wasnt for this.
1.0 out of 5 stars Please Avoid
Had the camera a couple of days now and its so bad its going back. To be clear, its not faulty, its just terrible.The picture quality is substantially below that of iPhone 12 Pro Max. Add to that that RAW support for the crap the camera spits out is a complete headache.Just avoid it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Photography review
I was pleasantly surprised by this camera. The S5ii is a phenomenal improvement from its predecessor in terms of performance, especially when it comes to auto focus and colour science. While I have yet to use it for video more often, it has exceeded my expectations on the photography front.Although a lack of AA filter is a slight mistep, it still produces great quality images.

THE Appareil photo
Concernant l'apparail photo Lumix S5II 📷La qualité du boitier est au rendez-vous. La prise en main est bonne, les matériaux sont agréables au toucher, les boutons sont accessibles facilement, l'ergonomie est globalement très bonne.Pour le menu, ça se complique un peu pour un débutant, mais ça reste plutôt évident, même si les termes "photo" le sont moins.Les photos sont d'une qualité exceptionnelle et il faudra un logiciel spécifique pour ouvrir un fichier RAW de grosse qualité, ainsi qu'un bon PC.Idem avec la vidéo, la qualité est bluffante.Les options sont nombreuses et on se perd assez vite dans les réglages. Ne convient pas spécialement pour un débutant car il y a trop de paramètres. Il faut étudier un peu la théorie pour comprendre LA photo et être aguerri dans la retouche photo ou du montage vidéo à l'aide d'un logiciel. Sans ça, aucun intérêt d'acheter un appareil aussi sophistiqué.Globalement je suis satisfait mais il faut vraiment prendre le temps de comprendre le fonctionnement.
Super Kamera
Ich habe mir die Panasonic G5IIX als zusätzliche Kamera zu der Panasonic GH5S und Panasonic G70 gekauft, weil ich mich langsam zum Fotoprofi weiterentwickeln möchte, und bin überwältigt. Im Vergleich zu den FT-Kameras mit 10 bzw. 16 Megapixeln , ist die Pixelgröße derart enorm, dass wenig Umgebungslicht kein Problem ist. Ich habe Testaufnahme im dunklen Keller gemacht, und kein Bildrauschen entdeckt. Der Autofokus arbeitet zuverlässig. Für 6K 10 bit Videoaufnahmen ist eine SSD Notwendig.Automatischer Weißabgleich funktioniert hervorragend. Auch der 96 Megapixel Sensor shift Modus überzeugt. Ein Stativ wird dafür empfohlenDas 50mm F1.8 Objektiv aus dem Set entspricht in etwa einem 25 mm F 0.9 Objektiv bei FT-Sensoren und ermöglicht sehr schöne Bilder. Das ist ausreichen für schönes Bokeh. Für kunstfotografie perfekt ein 18 mm f1.8 und 70-200 F2.8 Objektiv werden noch gekauft.Negativ ist dass Panasonic das Kompressionsschema geändert hat und Rawtherapee (letzte Version vom Februar 2024) das RAW der S5IIX nicht nativ unterstützt, aber vielleicht ändert sich das in ein paar Monaten. Panasonic sollte die dokumentation der Formate nicht nur zu Adobe, sondern auch zu Open source entwickeln schicken oder auf seiner Seite offenlegenDer Kamera liegt nur eine rudimentäre Anleitung bei (gefaltetes A3 Blatt). Eine 900-seitige Anleitung kann man von Panasonic Webpräsenz runterladen. Bei dem Preis durchaus ok.Die Kamera setzt auf L-Mount, welches sich zu einem Standard entwickelt. Die Blackmagic setzt auch darauf, das heiße, es sind viele Objektive verfügbar.Insgesamt eine hervorragende und keineswegs überteuerte Kamera für Profis.
