It’s hard to think of a better value per dollar for a full frame camera that does professional-grade video and photos. To get a similar performing camera from other brands, it can cost multiple times the price. Especially compared to Canon, Panasonic cameras always felt more complete and this is no exception. It feels like a complete camera, not a compromised one. The recording formats offer so many options (like the 4K/6K photo mode I never knew I needed) it encourages you to try new styles of filming. I don't have to think about recording limits or other quirks. It just works. Image quality is stunning and it’s easier to color grade video footage. Even the basic styles (the non RAW or LOG formats) appear to have improved dynamic range from their past cameras and can be lightly graded. Based on initial tests, the color matches well with the MFT line of Panasonic cameras, particularly the newer ones released in the last 2 years. I’ve owned cinema cameras in the past that can’t even pull this level of image, so it’s a technical marvel.

I think Lumix is very underrated and it's an amazing system for Video. The S5 is a mini S1H and is the Size of a GH5 but is Full Frame. It holds a lot of features for the price like using a 6K Sensor but downsampling to 4K but you can attach an Atomos Ninja V to be able to shoot in 5.9K ProRes RAW. No other camera at this price point offers that. There Anamorphic Lens Support, Angle/ISO, Histogram, Vectorscope, Luminance Spot Meter, V-LOG, 1080p 180fps, and the list just goes on. This camera is really getting close to the cinema world for a fraction of the price and it offers so much more feature then a Sony and a Canon

The camera is fantastic. The only reason this doesn't rank higher for me is because I had to exchange it for the model that comes with a lens. The specifications on the website clearly said this comes with a lens and it does not.
