Lumix s5m2 high res mode vs canon r5m2 45mp

"left canon, right Lumix" This is just mind blowing. To all who purchased the(I purchased S5iiX) S5ii or S5iiX, you are really smart. The feature of being able to do 96MP raw file is what closed it for me. Just use that tripod you purchased years ago, the raw files are insane in detail. I purchased

Immigrant from Canon, settled on S1M2. Never knew I would ever own Lumix! Any tips?

Honestly. Accurate. I will never understand how R5m2 is considered “hybrid”. I was one step far away from ordering C50 and considered R6m3 for 20mins but nah… One thing I hate about Canon was they play games too much with customers. How come $3,899 worth of “hybrid camera” in 2025 cannot do 4k 60p o

Would you guys grab a refurbished r5 mark II from Amazon ?

No manufacturer warranty for one (you get one year from canon refurb) Lots of horror stories with electronics from amazon in general. For a few bucks more you can get a lot more piece of mind https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/refurbsished-eos-r5-mark-ii-body?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&type=Refurbished&cjeve

New to Professional Wedding Photography: Which camera do you recommend?

The Canon R5 is currently more affordable than the R6 mark iii at $2,599 by $200. I don't think the R5 mark ii is necessary. This is within your budget. I think it's worth it to go out of budget for the Canon RF 85mm F1.2 L USM Ds. Good glass is a business expense that's going to be the highest cost

Best Bang-for-Buck Hybrid Camera for Portraits, Events, and Content ?

For Canon it's IMO still the R6II, it does most of what the R5II does for (nowadays) half the price. The R6III came out in November but it improved almost only the video capabilities. If you need to drown in 7K footage, it's only $1000 more. But for 2K or less it's definitely the best. As for lenses

How can you justify getting a camera housing that is more expensive than your camera?

Camera manufacturers don't take into consideration us underwater photographers. They change a button/dial/position or the entire camera itself and that super-expensive housing is forever married to that one specific camera. I have the Canon R5M1. When the R5M2 came out, I thought about it for a mome

Is it worth Traveling with an action camera

As a professional photographer I encourage you just to use your phone. I work in pro football on the sidelines. The nfl social media guys and gals are using just their iPhones to record the action while I’m slogging around two camera bodies and lenses. I just returned from a photo workshop in Namibi

Wildlife setup under $400

There isn’t, really. You could get a full frame camera like the Canon R5 mii and an RF 800 mm f/5.6 with a 2X teleconverter. That would give you some better results. But it would also cost you more than a brand new car. The thing with wildlife photography is that the long telephoto lenses aren’t abo
