Panasonic - LUMIX S5IIX Mirrorless Full Frame Camera with 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 L Mount Lens - Black

Amazing camera but it occasionally freezes while recording and doesn't turn off unless you take out the battery. It can cause you to lose critical footage at times. It isn't as bad while handheld because you can just pop out the battery real quick, but it takes more time if you're on a gimbal. Not ideal at a wedding or something like that. However, it's not like it does it all the time. Since I've had it (Sept-Nov), it's done it about 4-5 times. Dont know what causes it. ON THE POSITIVE: i really love this camera. It has really great stabilization, so I've been using it handheld most of the time. I use a gimbal for higher/lower shots. The type of lens you use matters a lot. I've gotten some great shots with an f-1.8 50mm lens. I also love all the different shooting settings. NUETRAL: This is a con for many people, but I knew about it and still bought the camera because i didn't think it would be such a big deal, but you get cropped 4k 60fps footage The problem could be solved by using a wider lens, but as you know, 30mm is not the same as 50mm. Would I rather buy a Sony? Perhaps, but the Lumix won me over because it handles video a whole lot better than Sony bc of the Stabilization and the different recording options.

I researched, read, and watched hundreds of videos leading up to the purchase of the Lumix S5IIX. All of the signs kept pointing back to the performance and value of this camera. The reviews don't lie! This camera is a fantastic hybrid camera that allows you to do everything you would want. Great photos, amazing video, and unlike many other cameras, an internal fan so it will not overheat on you. Lot's of room to grow into as your skills increase, and future proof. You won't regret this purchase.

I have always been a fan of Panasonic Lumix Cameras. Maybe its because I like the underdog. Well the Lumix S5IIX is far from being an underdog and seeing how the Lumix S5II has performed since its release is what really attracted me to this camera. With all the improvements made to the A-Focus and the best image stabilization around.I am mainly going to use this camera for video, but I like having the capability to do photography I couldn't be happier

I really like the Lumix camaras. The have the best bang for the buck and the S5iix black out addition with key videocentric features is the swiss army knife of the hybrid camera world. I very happy with this purchase. Great product.

A good camera for doing videos. A little hard to read the dials.
