Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 II Body

I was purchased this camera after a lot of research and digging into photography websites. I used to have Sony camera for a long time. I had three options two from other brands and I choose Panasonic Lumix S2 II. You can't go wrong with this camera, it has many video and photo features, excellent IBIS, amazing grip into my hand, an excellent Autofocus, I tried to challenge the AF but it hit all the focuses and never missed any. A bit of downside is around 150g heavier than other competitive ones but if you know it has a cooling system to avoid overheating while recording long movies or photographing in a long session during a hot day, you will be convinced the reason of the heavier body. The 50mm f1.8 lens is also sharp and silent, AF is amazing compared to other ones. Just about the product price it is constantly dropping I have bought it 10 days ago and now is £100 cheaper. and it was £500 cheaper than last month when I initially monitored the price to buy it.

As an LUMIX S9 owner, I wanted something that was a little more comfortable to hold , had a EVF and also had a hotshoe for connecting accessories. The S5ii ticks all my boxes . After setting up the custom settings on the camera through the easy to navigate menu system I’ve been able to explore the capabilities that the S5ii offers. The autofocus is absolutely great for a newbie like me who isn’t so comfortable shooting on manual focus just yet. Image quality and resolution are pin sharp to my eyes and the in body stabilisation seems to work extremely well as I start on my photography journey at a ‘mature’ age. Connecting to the LUMIX Lab app has worked as I expected having used it with my S9. All in all I’m really pleased I took the plunge . This is a camera that oozes quality and craftsmanship . I love my S9 but i can already see that the S5ii will be my ‘go-to’ due to the grip and the EVF.

I purchased this S5ii to upgrade my S5 which I liked but the autofocus could be a bit hit and miss at times. This is a huge improvement on the S5 and seems to track humans and animals really well. The articulated screen seems to be brighter than the S5 and I like the easy of connectivity with the LUMIX .lab app making it especially easy to put LUTs on the camera for real time LUT processing, When used with a O.I.S lens the stabilisation combination of lens and camera is almost like using a Gimbal without the hassle. Great price with the cashback offer and 10% discount.

Love this Camera. After doing extensive reviews for my needs, chose the Panasonic LUMIX Sii twin lens kit. The build quality is excellent and the ergonomics are great, all main buttons within easy reach whilst viewing. The autofocus works a treat and I am still working through the volume of features available.

Amazing bit of kit, very happy with this purchase,
