Title: Value for money
Review: Excellent camera with many features.. could use an even smaller body. Picture quality is good. Need to have some skills to use. High resolution videos needs rather strong computer setup to process.

Title: Nice, east-to-use, video camera
Review: I have a few video cameras, mostly intended for serious use and requiring the videographer to make most adjustments manually. What I wanted was something with more automation that would work well for situations in which I didn’t want to spend a lot of time setting the camara’s parameters for the particular shooting situation. I also wanted something that worked reasonably well hand held without a gimbal. Ths fits the bill. I haven’t put it through all of its paces but both the autofocus and image stabilization seem to be a cut above what’s available in similar cameras at a comparable price point. Also the size and form factor make it an easy and incospicuous camera to operate. The image quality is also quite good, with natural-looking colors and proper saturaton.As I said, I haven’t used it yet in highly demanding situations. But from what I’ve seen so far, I feel that I can safely recommend this camera for shooting very good quality videos without the need for a lot of ancillary equipment to assist with focusing or image stabilization. If I couldn’t lug a tripod or set up a camera cage with a wireless focus pull motor and were shooting a non-stationary subject, this would easily be my choice from among the several cameras I own. That’s not to say that it wouldn’t work well on a tripod or gimbel (sits relatively mall size is a great advantage here) or fitted out with a cage and attachments. But those things really aren’t as necessary for this cameras as they are for some other high-quality video cameras.My five-star rating is qualified by the fact that I haven’t had the camera very long or used it across a wide range of situations. So I can’t say that it works magnificently in every scenario or that it will last nearly forever. But I don’t know that those things aren’t true, either. And based on what it has been used for so far, it does just what I want.

Title: My first camera and I love everything about it
Review: This camera came heavily recommended by so many people and I have to say im very happy with it. While I have no way to compare to other cameras in this price range I haven’t found myself wanting more that this camera doesnt offer. It has great video features and takes beautiful photos.. Im not even good and getting good quality pictures.Camera stabilization features are very good and everything from the construction and feel of the camera is quality. Theres are lot to love but I do have a few problems that i havent quite figured out how to address. -I have made a lot of configurations but I just cant get them to get saved. I have to constantly load my settings every time I turn on the camera and its really nuisance. Luckily the menu always stays on load when its prompt.-The camera gives features to lock all functions but only when recording.. would be nice if you could do it while photographing. Not sure how to do it if it isnt the case. I read the whole guide and didnt find anything on how to address this issue.

Title: Great video and photo camera!
Review: Right out of the box the first thing you’ll notice is how comfortable this camera body feels in hand. If you’ve ever held another certain brand you’ll know how boxy they feel. And this Lumix S5ii is the opposite, it feels great.The botton layout, while even using this body after being a Nikon user my entire life felt like it just made sense. I could get out on a photo shoot right after purchasing the camera and feel good about knowing where everything is.As for the specs, the video and photo quality is exceptional as you’ll see. And the auto fucus capabilities in both video and photo are very quick and make life easy!

Title: A Bit big
Review: Almost perfect if you don’t mind the large size, excellent ISO and video performance, although I’m 95%+ stills photographer, so that’s not very relevant for me. The size is also substantial and the resolution 24 megapixels is neither low nor high, so I switched to Fujifilm x-t5 with it’s 40 megapixel (I use prime lenses instead of the excellent 24-105 Panasonic zoom) aps-c and I love it! This camera also would be great with prime lenses like the Sigma Art (only available for full frame cameras like this Panasonic and others), they cost about the same price as Fuji’s premium f 1.4, but they weigh more so all together the full frame system weighs much more, isn’t any cheaper and isn’t high resolution, and like Fujifilm also doesn’t have shutter flaps that close to protect the sensor when off, but at least the food you feel has ultrasonic sensor cleaning when you turn off the camera. While this camera will work perfectly for some people for a still photographer like myself it is not the best option even though it cost less than the competition, but its weight and it falls short of perfect for a stills photographer because of its focus on video, basically.

Title: Great image quality!
Review: Great feel! Lots of features that can be customized to your preferences.EVF can be a little jittery in low contrast settings and photo review takes second to display. Focusing can be improved by selecting Quick Focus in the menu. Eye focus for animals and humans works well.

Review: Just get it, if you’re like me you’re on the fence between this or the Sony (insert all variations and prices) for the price vs what you get in this camera it really is amazing. I’ve had this for over 2 months and I honestly love this camera. the kit lens is great and sharp as hell, very usable focal range.

Review: La encontré en una promoción fugaz de Amazon el cuerpo por 27,000 mxn y simplemente es la mejor compra que he hecho.Tiene un rango dinámico espectacular y graba hasta 6K30p sin recorte.El problema que no lo consideraría como tal es la limitación momentánea de los lentes, pero con la alianza Lumix-Leica-Sigma-DJI pronto podremos disponer de más lentes a mejor precio.

Review: Hands down the best camera for the price currently on the market. Only downside is cropped 4k 60fps but that’s expected at this price point. The dual native iso produces NO noise in the shadows and the image can be pushed super far in post with restoring highlights and boosting up shadows. Blown away at the versatility of the image and the dynamic range. If you have a GH5 or GH6 this is the worthwhile upgrade to full frame. Zero issues with this camera and I’ll be using it for many years to come as my A-cam on all commercial productions.
