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. LUMIX S 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 Lens included.

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Panasonic S5 camera has garnered high praise for its video capabilities, especially in 10 bit mode, without suffering from overheating issues. It offers remarkable image stabilization (IBIS), customizable LCD screen, extensive control options, and excellent build quality. The 20-60mm lens is appreciated for video work, although it experiences some sharpness falloff beyond 35mm. Autofocus performs well in pictures, though it can hunt in low light during video capture. Users also highlighted its great low-light performance and the advantage of using third-party lenses thanks to the L-mount system.

  • 🔍 Impressive Image Stabilization (IBIS) for video and photo

Should I Buy It?

Yes, if you're seeking a camera that excels in video production with high-quality 10 bit footage, customizable options, and solid image stabilization, the Panasonic S5 is a standout choice.

  • Swiss Army knife Camera I've been waiting for
Style: w/ S5 Lens Kit Set: No Additional Lens
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

  • WOW Panasonic S5 unleashed the creative in me, excellent tool for my work
Style: w/ S5 Lens Kit Set: No Additional Lens
The media could not be loaded. Doing multicam work, and find this camera to be the best in decades of shooting. 4K 10bit in 3840 or C4K/DCI on fairly standard SDXC cards, not exotic memory cards that A7SIII would need. Glad to finally move on from Sony ecosystem, especially in the IOS stabilization department. Happy with the image quality, and the lightweight 20-60mm lens. I'm a SOC (Society Of Camera Ops member), and enjoy using it for handheld work also. Good viewfinder, and ability to place the LCD screen implements well also. Connectivity and ports are ample. Pair it with a fast lens for very low light shooting. Typical night lighting, it images fine. Basically like I mentioned, it can record 4K 10bit onto pretty standard SDXC cards. Yes you can go down the higher bitrate road to wherever with the Sony and others, but this one can go there too, externally to a Ninja V, in 6K. Personally if I need 6K in 12 bit, I would rather buy regular useable recording memory, ie SDXC cards and SSD drives, instead of proprietary or expensive memory. The power options are excellent, the single battery last a long time, and it can take external power through USB-C. So I started this whole rig with building it with Sony A7SIII's. I quickly changed that when looking at a side by side sequence shot with both cameras (A7SIII and S5). The test was at night. To me the S5 had much better motion interpretation, and again way way better stabilization. The S5 to me was a clearly better choice for my work. One last thing, the video shows 8 S5 cameras in full record sync, I love that multicam record beep sound. ... show more

  • Incredibly powerful camera, inexpensive lens selection
Style: w/ S5 Lens Kit Set: No Additional Lens
If you want a mirrorless camera, I think the lens selection makes this the one to buy. I know the complaint with l-mount cameras has been that the lenses aren't there. In 2021, that's no longer a factor. On top of that, the fact that this has first party support from Sigma means that there are fantastic, fully supported lenses for this camera at half the price of what you get from Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fuji. The only other mirrorless system that has extensive third-party lenses is Sony and I considered the A7III. The Lumix won out because of its better menu system, jpeg colors, build quality, ergonomics, IBIS, and hi-res shot mode. I'm primarily a stills photographer and I've found the autofocus to be fantastic. It's great at grabbing onto eyes and faces. When subjects turn, it's still able to track their head movements. I've experimented with old manual focus Canon FD lenses and it has a great interface for focusing accurately with those as well. I highly recommend this camera. It makes photography fun and a broad lens selection affordable. ... show more

  • super image and video quality!!!!
Style: w/ S5 Lens Kit Set: No Additional Lens
This is a very cool gadget for sure! I love the images and videos captured with this camera. The kit lens 20-60 is perfectly fine for everyday use. If you want, you can get more expensive lenses but kit lens works well. Very pleased with the purchase. Compared to some other full frame cameras, this is very reasonably priced for features and technology included. Highly recommended. ... show more
