- General
- Brand: Panasonic
- Model Number: DC-S5M2XBODY
- Product Name: LUMIX S5IIX Mirrorless Full Frame Camera (Body Only)
- Color: Black
- Camera Model Family: Panasonic Lumix S
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera Body Only
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 35mm Full Frame (36 x 24 mm)
- Total Pixels: 25 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 6000 x 4000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW, MOV, MP4 (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Number of Autofocus Points (Up To): 779
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Bulb (Max. 30 minutes), 1/8,000 - 60 (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Burst Rate: 30 frames per second
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 2 seconds, 10 seconds, Other
- Shooting Modes: Program AE (P) / Aperture Priority AE (A) / Shutter Priority AE (S) / Manual Exposure (M) / Creative Video (P/A/S/M)* / Slow&Quick / Custom 1, 2, 3 / Intelligent Auto *The same exposure operations as P/A/S/M mode is available. (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- White Balance Modes: AWB / AWBc / AWBw / Daylight / Cloudy / Shade / Incandescent / Flash / White Set 1, 2, 3, 4 / Color temperature setting 1, 2, 3, 4 (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 24.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens

Q: Does this camera allow for unlimited video recording?
A: Yes, the Panasonic camera is designed for unlimited video recording and live streaming thanks to its heat dispersion mechanism.
Q: When will the S5Iix cinema version be available?
A: Indeed, when June 1 arrived, the status had changed to "sold out" and those who preordered started receiving shipment notices in the days that followed. You might have to wait a month or more before Best Buy has new stock, but that's just a guess as I have no "inside" information. Purchasers of the S5IIX are not likely to return it, so don't get hopes up for an un-opened or even opened return.

Best camera quality price 2024-2025
I’ve been using the LUMIX S5IIX for a few weeks now, and I have to say—it’s an absolute beast of a camera! As a filmmaker and content creator, I was looking for a versatile camera that could handle both high-quality video and stills, and the S5IIX has exceeded my expectations. The Autofocus is a huge step up from previous models. The phase-detection AF is incredibly responsive, even in low light, which has been a lifesaver during shoots. The new Active I.S. system is phenomenal—I can confidently shoot handheld without worrying about shaky footage. When it comes to video, the S5IIX really shines. The ProRes internal recording is a game-changer for my workflow. It offers incredible detail and flexibility in post-production. The camera also supports external SSD recording, which has been a massive convenience for long shoots. The dynamic range and low-light performance are stunning. Even at higher ISOs, the noise levels are impressively low, and the colors are natural and vibrant. The V-Log/V-Gamut profiles are perfect for cinematic projects, and the grading potential is endless. Another feature I love is the black design—it’s sleek and low-profile, which is perfect for documentary work or shooting in public without drawing too much attention. The build quality is solid, yet it’s surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to carry around for extended periods. If I had to nitpick, I’d say the menu system could be a bit more intuitive for beginners, but once you get used to it, the customization options are incredible. Overall, the LUMIX S5IIX is a must-have for hybrid shooters who demand pro-level video features in a compact, affordable package. Whether you’re a filmmaker, content creator, or photographer, this camera is worth every penny!

No-brainer Upgrade, Serious Contender to Sony
I upgraded from a Lumix S5 and am enjoying the improved autofocus and other features. I haven't had a chance to use the live-streaming feature yet but I look forward to it. I still believe that the S5 series offers the best value on the market for hybrid shooters. The extra money versus the S5II is well worth it for anyone shooting video. The SSD recording alone is worth the money but when you add unlimited 6K, RAW video out, and wireless streaming, it's a no-brainer. But I will say that I HATE the black-out design. It's extremely difficult to see the buttons, even in broad daylight. I'm going to end up painting mine so I can see them. Comparing this to its competitors, I'd say it beats Canon and competes with Sony. Canon lost me as a customer when they came out with the M-50 "Mark II" which was a minor firmware upgrade. It was insulting not to mention wasteful. And since they've decoupled from third party lens manufacturers, I see no reason to enter that ecosystem unless you're already invested. Sony is a different story. Their autofocus is still a little bit better and their lens selection is the best on the market. However, I can't stand their ergonomics. That combined with better value are why I'm a Panasonic user. Photos included with this review were taken with the Sigma 24-70 DG DN, my workhorse lens.
