Lumix Camera
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to use and has some of the best picture quality I've ever seen in a camera. If I could give this more stars I would!

Clear View
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I started using Panasonic Lumix cameras with a GX8 and moved to a G9 later. I also had a leading brand system and was well invested with the camera and lenses. Panasonic offered a 3 year warranty on my cameras and I was getting firmware upgrades long after my purchases. My leading brand system bailed out on me, including servicing, plus made my gear obsolete? It's pretty clear for me, who stands behind their products and supports their customers and that name is, Panasonic. This S5II exceeds my expectations, a happy choice for sure

We appreciate your recognition of our long-term support, including warranties and firmware updates, as these are commitments we take seriously.

Perfection
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This new camera is an excellent run-and-gun camera for content creators, vloggers, and filmmakers of any level. Whether you’re shooting a commercial, YouTube video, or Instagram Reel, the S5II has you covered. This is one of those cameras that you can use however you want to. You can let the camera do the work and focus, or you can get your hands dirty and master the manual modes for more serious production work. The unlimited recording and high dynamic range will make this perfect for long-form interviews, live streaming, and live music performances. Knowing the camera will not overheat is also a definite advantage over other systems on the market. The S5 has some of the best image quality I have ever seen mixed with the best IBIS system I’ve used in a Full Frame Camera. No overheating and unlimited recording set this apart from most of the competition. Lastly, if you’ve been applying the same LUT file in editing to VLOG for years, you can now bake it in as you record. This is going to be a huge time-saver for a lot of content creators and videographers.

Lumix S5II Review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is fantastic! The autofocus is top tier, it's incredibly light weight and the hybrid video/photo approach works great. Ideal for content creation and run and gun video. The battery life isn't amazing but there are plenty of third party batteries available.

Best Hybrid Camera On The Market

This is a high quality video camera with very good autofocus, unlike previous lumix cameras, this camera is the first of its kind with very strong autofocus technology. This camera also snaps high quality images, I can't get enough of this camera.

Great camera

Fantastic full frame camera for video users

Must Buy!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Wonderful Camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
