s5ii

The cheap camera will be something useless that no one cares about. I have a theory that the more expensive camera could be the small modern MFT camera everyone wants. A few YouTubers I follow have been mysteriously pimping out MFT all of a sudden. Being given GH7 by Panasonic to “test” out of nowhe

S5ii is Panasonics entry level full frame camera made using quite an older sensor that. The g9ii is a more niche product but also a higher end model, just that its a m4/3 which some will see as a crippled camera. I personally would take gh7 over a s5ii anyday of the week

Well it's good you mentioned affordable lenses because that cuts out Canon. The Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is a great fast lens that's well priced and light. Should help keep the price down from getting zooms and primes. They're for Sony or Nikon. Lumix have the kit lens 20-60mm and the new 24-60mm F2.8

Did pretty much the same thing a year ago with the Lumix S5ii. Got caught into hype and grass is greenered my way to Lumix. Missed Sony superior autofocus and customizing features. Sold my Sony kit at a loss for Lumix, realized Sony is my system, sold my Lumix kit at a loss, and bought back in to So

I lost on Panasonic and M43 honestly, if they recycled rhe S5II body for the G9II they could have recycled the s9 body for a GX9II and release this year. The fact that they are copying GM1 colours and releasing them on S9 this year makes me think that they don't care anymore for small M43. Honestly

The a7rV will be the better camera in my opinion. It’s one of Sonys absolute best. And in my opinion for editorial, your camera should be 100% there every time. I think the Sony is that, while Panasonics are extremely nice, they are playing catch up. And I also don’t feel like the big bodies of ever

Autofocus has improved considerably but Lumix is still behind major brands. The inability to set custom brackets is baffling, especially if you shoot real estate. In order to get +-3 stops you have to shoot 7 pictures which is extremely annoying. The TTL flash performance is slightly sluggish compar

Generally, the 24 mp sensors give great picture quality and low light performance. Af is also great in ZF and forward cause it’s the first expeed7 camera. Very similar to ZF in terms of performance is Z5ii. Lumix S5ii and A7iii A7c would have worse af than ZF but better than Fuji, but be much cheape

Think of you ever needing to have zooms. If so, MFT has a huge advantage in weight and price here, especially if we are talking about constant aperture. This advantage is not that obvious with short zooms, but quickly gets serious on 100+ mm. I was circling around the same question as you for months

The S5II kit 20-60 isn't the sharpest wide open. It also isn't the fastest. The difference in DOF between Full frame and MFT is 2 stops of aperture. A Panasonic 10-25 F1.7 would actually give you a shallower depth of field and more light than the 20-60. But that is a big expensive lens, and the GH7
