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

Hey there! Full time business photographer videographer here. Looks like you’re hitting the limit of using a hybrid photo camera for long form video. The Nikon Z8 is an incredible camera, but some would say it isn’t built for hour plus continuous recording, especially in a theater environment. Readi

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.

Having owned the S1R and now the S1Rii, the original was a much nicer built camera, with great design touches, I much prefer it from a handling perspective. (I miss the top screen!!) But the S1R’s autofocus is pretty crap, if you’re doing static portraits and landscape work it’s fine but good luck d

If you’re looking for a hybrid, then none of those. I use the s5ii and s5iix at work. I don’t own those cameras (at home I have a c70 and r6 mkiii) so hopefully that eliminates any fanboy/shill accusations. I specifically chose for us to invest in the Lumix S series because the work I do is everythi

The AF on Lumix Cameras (s5ii onwards) is great. Not as sticky as Sony (for objects) but I shoot weddings and find I have little to complain about. The IBIS is something I'm no longer willing to compromise on though. I haven't shot Canon for a long time. I'm sure it's great. But you might want to tr

Cannot compare the G85 to the S5II. I swapped from G85 as my first to the S5II, the former having pretty rough AF. Lumix isn’t perfect for autofocus, but they’ve made leaps that it feels usable most of the time, but of course not better than Sony. However the tradeoff I was willing to take are solid

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

As the one who converted from G9 myself, something like S5II will suit you just right and will improve autofocus because it now has PDAF instead of just DFD on G9. I did use S9 at first but really missed EVF, so took advantage of this Best Buy deal, that gets you S5II, 20-60 kit plus free 85mm f1.8

I think 7Artisans makes fantastic low budget Cine lenses. I shoot on an S5iiX, and I currently own only one 7Artisans: the 14mm Spectrum Cine for L-Mount. It's a full frame lens (I believe the Vision series is APS-C, yes?). Regardless, they have a fantastic build quality. The focus throw is 270 degr
