Lumix S5II

Yes, definitely. I've used other systems as well and always come back to using Lumix the most. I just love their ergonomics, aggressive pricing and menu system - I think the menu system is second best to Leica's. L mount lens selection is excellent now and is getting better every year, most 3rd part

Hey there! Full time business photographer videographer here. Looks like you’re hitting the limit of using a hybrid photo camera for long form video. The Nikon Z8 is an incredible camera, but some would say it isn’t built for hour plus continuous recording, especially in a theater environment. Readi

I've mixed my Lumix S5ii vlog and my second's Sony A7iv slog3 with the same conversation LUT for several years now and literally nobody can tell the difference. Look at my posts and see if there are any giveaways.

I've run my S5ii for 2-3 hours straight in 90+ degree weather in the sun continuous and I never even think to check it because it just works. I was caught off guard when people started reporting overheating for the S1ii because I've had such a good experience with Lumix and the S5ii.

Not sure if my opinion is of any value to you, but I'm a former S5II owner. I took advantage of Panasonic LUMIX's trade-in trade-up promotion, which provided me a $400 discount on the purchase of the new S series camera and I received ~$850 in value for my S5II (varies depending on condition, mine w

High frame rates on the S5II which require an APS-C crop, selfie/vertical videos, Astro & landscape photography. Plenty of uses for a 16mm prime, especially a quality one with AF. Much more accessible than the sigma 14mm or 15mm Art lenses, wider than the lumix 18mm or Sigma 20mm primes.

I think Panasonic has the video game on lock. Also , if you’re looking for a camera there are 2 or 3 S5IIx listed in r/photomarket

I haven't used any of these cameras but I do own the S1ii and have been researching Lumix gear....too much. IMO The size difference between the S9 and S5ii is basically a non factor unless you plan on carting it around in a bag (with a cage it will be difficult to put the S5ii in a small camera bag

Welcome, the S5-IIx is definitely a good choice for starting into photo and video with a real camera. This is a huge field. I think it's best to look thru a number of YouTube channels that are doing tutorials or show how they work with the cameras. There are lot's of channels and they have very diff

Fujifilm has more fun factor for sure. I really like the user experience. I traded an x-s20 for an S5II. I have also owned an X-H1 and X-T30 II. I do miss the smaller size and more affordable lenses, but I didn’t really care for the film simulations and if you mainly develop raw files, I will say th
