Lumix S5II

Owns a used S5II bought for 1200 EUR and recommends it as worth the money.

“Honestly get a used S5ii then. I have one”

Finds the S5II superior to their X-T3 in colour, AF and file crispness.

“The colors, auto focus, and crispness of the files is superior on the S5ii.”

Calls the S5II the best value in its range; complaints are mushy buttons and an easily bumped top dial.

“I think it's the best-value camera in its price range, for photo or video use.”

Finds the S5II the most versatile full frame for the money: great IBIS, good AF-C and menus, but weak battery.

“The s5ii is **the** most versatile full frame camera in its price bracket.”

Finds the Lumix S5II's hybrid AF a big step up from their X-H2S.

“Now I finally have a hybrid camera with AF technology that's not 10 years behind the competition”

Bought the Lumix S5II with a 24-70 f2.8 but found the kit too heavy and cold to use, rarely took it anywhere and sold it.

“Too bad the setup weighed like 1.8kg and I literally couldn't shoot it 1 handed. The photos and videos were nice but it felt so cold...”

Owns the Lumix S5II with the 20-60; feels the 1 kg weight but it isn't a dealbreaker.

“I have s5m2 with 20-60 lens it's exactly 1kg. Definitely feel the weight but not a dealbreaker.”

Found the Lumix S5II a powerhouse but too big and clumsy for travel.

“I had the S5ii, it’s a real powerhorse, but it was too big and clumsy for traveling and stuff”

Uses the Lumix S5II and finds its output fantastic.

“Yup I'm using a s5II currently (the same sensor as the a7iii), the output is fantastic”

Uses the screen on their S5II because its viewfinder feels like a worse screen.

“The viewfinder feels like a worst screen anyway on my s5ii”

Bought an S5II and lenses for better AF, but adapted Canon EF lenses worked so poorly that they sold the kit and went back to Canon.

“The realisation that the promised Canon EF support was utter merde eventually les me to sell the LUMIX kit and return to Canon.”
