    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.
