    The S5II is well worth it and the specs to price can't be beat! I recently upgraded to the full frame S5II from a Lumix G95 (MFT) and on top of the obvious newer technology and full frame sensor, the Lumix S5II is just all around amazing! I've always loved Lumix color science and camera design/useability but the obvious downside has always been their autofocus. UNTIL NOW! The phase detect autofocus makes this purchase a 10/10 in my opinion!

    I bought this camera to use for live streaming. It's absolutely amazing! I've gotten so many compliments from my viewers on how much better my camera looks, and that I almost look "3D." HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I'm saving up to buy another one of these for a different angle!

    I am not an expert camera user, but I was tired of buying cameras which results in blurred images more often. So I decided to spend more on a proper camera this time. And this camera amazes me. Taking pictures even while moving fast, I am getting clear pictures and videos. Even thought I get some bad pictures very rarely in dark ambience, but I think it might be due to my limited knowledge of various options available in the camera settings menus/buttons. Don't hesitate to buy this camera. No integrated flash, but why do you need it ?

    Lumix s5 ii for video.

    This is the best camera under $2500 for video that I have owned and I own the Canon 5d mark iv also! It has an abundance of options for shooting video but whichever you choose, you can't go wrong. I use the Lumix s5 ii to shoot high end to run & gun music videos. The body stabilization is out of this world! I would never shoot without a stabilizer before but now I find myself leaving them at home for most shoots. Purchase the Lumix s5 ii and you will not be sorry.

    I purchased this at full price and was really happy with the camera. About a week later I benefitted from price adjustment which made it a greater deal. Using it for studio photogarphy and video work. A great all round Camera. Could not be happier.
