Description

LUMIX S5 is a hybrid full-frame mirrorless camera that achieves both excellent performance in photo/video in a compact body designed for aspirational content creators. At the heart of the camera, the LUMIX S5 contains a 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor that boasts a wide dynamic range and high sensitivity performance made possible by sufficient light condensation. The LUMIX S5 further realizes recording maximum ISO51200 crystal-clear high sensitivity video with the adoption of the Dual Native ISO technology. The LUMIX S5 is capable of 4K 60p/50p 4:2:0 10-bit, and 4K 30p/25p 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording. It is also capable of 4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output. For 4K 30p/25p 4:2:0 8-bit internal recording, there is no time limit. Panasonic’s exceptional heat dispersion technology realizes stable, long time video recording. The LUMIX S5 provides 14+ stops of dynamic range, which is as wide as those of cinema cameras, and V-Log / V-Gamut compatibility with popular colorimetry called “VariCam Look”. A variety of recording formats and modes including 4:3 Anamorphic mode, Slow & Quick Motion, 4K/60p interval shooting and 4K HDR are also provided. The LUMIX S5 boasts high-speed, high- precision AF in both photo shooting and video recording that are made possible with advanced deep-learning technology featuring real-time detection of the subject’s type and parts such as human eye, face, head and body. Combining the Body I.S. (5-axis) in the camera and the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the LUMIX S Series lens, the 5-axis Dual I.S.2 compensates for blurring even powerfully, allowing the use of a 6.5-stop3 slower shutter speed. The splash/dust-resistant rugged design provides professional photographers with high reliability. To enhance the photographic experience, the 96-megapixel High Resolution Mode (JPEG/RAW), Live View Composite function and HLG Photo mode are available.

  • It's not a Canon or Nikon but it does a great job.
Style: Body only Set: Base
I got this camera when it was on sale to build a system to digitize 8mm film but decided to also use it as a regular camera. I had a news photographer career that spanned 25 years before moving to film and video. Hadn't touched a SLR since 2004. For me, the name Panasonic is usually associated with rice cookers or vacuum cleaners. But the person who figured out how to scan 8mm movie film used this and was getting excellent results. So I wanted to duplicate what he did and not re-invent the wheel. It's not a Canon or Nikon but it does a great job. And since I've been involved in color management for print, and color grading for film and video, I'm kinda picky. The resolution and image quality of this camera is impressive. While it does a great job when digitizing the tiny 8mm film frames with a macro lens, it also captures the real world with nice tonality and dynamic range when fitted with a 20-60mm Lumix zoom lens. Never thought I'd bother with an SLR since everything is getting more compact, and an iPhone can be readily available in my pocket. I'm now considering getting a 70-300mm lens to complete the kit. ... show more

  • Swiss Army knife Camera I've been waiting for
Style: w/ S5 Lens Kit Set: Base
I love my Gh5. It's made a lot of great videos and it's made me a LOT of money over the years. My only gripe was the M4/3 format for several reasons. This camera does everything the Gh5 did so well and so much more. Although I have many cameras for various situations, if you can only afford one camera, this would be a great choice for video and photo. PROS: -Full Frame + APS-C modes -96MP still images -24MP video images give you great image resolving -easy to use menu just like the Gh5 -in-camera time-lapse video creation is so great and builds on the Gh5 -the sigma EF adapter is perfect for all of my EF lenses -auto focus is greatly improved over other Panasonic cameras -Log film mode built-in -resolves clean blacks even at ISO 20,000 (can be cleaned up in post if ISO exceeds 20,000 -the lens it comes with is perfect for gimbal use although it's aperture-situation isn't ideal -6K recording coming soon -dual SD card slots -great battery life -uses XLR-1 -great dials -heavy duty construction -no moire filter, so it resolves the every last MP of imaging power while still adequately reducing moire CONS: -auto focus still lags behind Sony (but I almost never use it, so not a concern for me) - as many will be upgrading from Gh5 its a bummer it uses a different battery -viewfinder should have been upgraded, it's quality is now outdated -slow motion is in APS-C mode -10 bit mode is hard for editing software to process -no all intra ... show more

  • Pro camera, consumer price
Style: Body only Set: Base
I used an S5 for a published shoot a couple years ago. And while my main workhorse camera for pro photo and video gigs has become my Fuji XH2, this camera was always a great camera to use. Great results etc. so when prime had a deal (I think it was one day) to get an s5 body for under $1,000 new… I jumped on the deal. I was looking for a basic, less expensive travel camera so I could leave my Fuji for work. If you’re a photographer/videographer that relies on the best auto focus or ai tools… this isn’t the camera for you. But for anyone who has used DSLRs and wants an updated camera for a very good price… this is great. It beats the z5 in lowlight and autofocus (based on my experience). And the video capabilities are fantastic. If you rely on the most advanced autofocus and ai tools, the Sony a7iv and a6700 are fantastic for those, and offer great video capabilities. If your looking for an 8k output from internal recording that from my experience outclasses the a7iv, and want amazing color and overall performance… grab an XH2 from Fuji. But if you’re looking for a great travel camera, or even pro camera and want to save a bit of money… the S5 is a great option. While Sony and Fuji beat it in continuous tracking autofocus, I’ve never had an issue get tack sharp focus on subjects at weddings, studio work, or just basic travel or vacation shots. In fact I have found it on par with Nikon z6ii and noticeably better than the Nikon z5. For video, its fantastic for the price (unless you rely on fast accurate autofocus for filming). In my experience, having made numerous narrative short films and commercial videos and a feature film (which is on Amazon prime video), all my professional video work has required manual focus. Ive tried the best af cameras... but they can't read minds. Absolutely no camera can focus auto focus on a generic spot in space so that a character or product comes into focus as they enter that space. Af will give you a shift in focus to the actor or product etc. So af just isn't the choice for pro video work (from my experience). I could give a class on all the ways the best af messes up in real world use. So I'm not knocking the s5 at all. I love this camera. Fantastic ibis for handheld or run and gun video. Great lowlight video. 4000 iso looks fantastic and can be pushed a good bit. Raw video with external recorder. Lots and lots of bang for the buck for anyone starting out with short films or commercial work. Get this camera on sale, pick up a lenses, lights, and a mic... all for the cost of an a7iv body. Then save up and grab an s5iix or higher end body down the road and make this your b cam. ... but you will be disappointed if you want to set up the camera to film yourself as you move around and expect af to keep up with you. ... show more
