    Full frame sensor at a great price. Panasonic makes some pretty good cameras. Don't let the professional camera reviews change your mind in purchasing this Panasonic s5 this is more than enough for your average user. FYI sigma has a okay line up for the L mount so don't freak out in buying very expensive panasonic premium lenses

    The 20-60mm is not worth it. But the S5 is great. Solid FF camera.

    I’m so excited to own this! I’ve always dreamed of being creative with filming and editing and with Panasonic’ s willingness to allow an entry-level S series camera to be made, I’m over the moon.
