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

S5iiX and S1ii longtime user here! Been in this situation hunting lenses, many times, for10 yrs. Short answer if one-and-done: Sigma 20-200 Tried almost all Sigmas and Lumixes, bought every FF L mount focal length from primes to zooms, 14-200mm. M4/3 too. Can't go wrong with any starting out really.

Upgrade G9 to G9ii (much better in every way from sensor to AF) and keep PL 12-60 f/2.8-4 (add PL 50-200 f/2.8-4 and if need further reach 100-400ii f/4-6.3, both work well with 1.4x teleconverters) and get an S5ii with 24-60 f/2.8 and 35-150 f/2-2.8 and be done. Use each system to their strengths,

Hey so I am going to assume that this is your first camera, and if it is, you made a great choice. Unfortunately smartphones have set the bar REALLY high for stabilization and they achieve their fluid stabilization of video through many different techniques that other commenters have mentioned.

I feel like apsc is the perfect balance between light capabilities and reach, ive used my xt5 for weddings and sports and also as a daily for vacations and birding, i love my lumix s5ii but i wouldnt chug it around everyday and thats why i havent sold my fuji

Debatable They vastly degraded the s5iix image quality with aggressive sharpening and NR post launch (firmware which can't be reversed) and later completely removed streaming functions which were heavily marketed and users specifically paid for with the s5iix over the s5ii Also every other update br

I actually think that the 24-105 f/4 lenses that most companies make get slept on. I use a 24-105 f/4 from Panasonic along with my Lumix S5ii as my standard corporate event setup. I use an on camera Canon EX flash that I pop a little extra light with. At corporate events, I have to get a lot of grou

I would go for the S5ii and the GX9 - my heart will always prefer M4/3 but I'm not convinced Panasonic feels the same, so the sensible thing to do is have a full frame system as well. The S5ii might not be as compact as the S9 but I still want a mechanical shutter on my camera.

Both companies have put MFT on life support. I don’t want to say it’s impossible, but I do think it’s basically impossible. I expect Panasonic will only make large professional cameras, on MFT or FF, using the G9II/S5II body shape. They are clearly committing to that body for consistency in professi

I’ve used both for a pretty good amount of time. They both serve as the best budget full frame hybrid cameras on the market. The nikon offers a better experience for those more inclined to photography (especially flash and sports photography) lumix uses an old olympus mount which limits what flashes
