Nice, east-to-use, video camera
I have a few video cameras, mostly intended for serious use and requiring the videographer to make most adjustments manually. What I wanted was something with more automation that would work well for situations in which I didn’t want to spend a lot of time setting the camara’s parameters for the particular shooting situation. I also wanted something that worked reasonably well hand held without a gimbal. Ths fits the bill. I haven’t put it through all of its paces but both the autofocus and image stabilization seem to be a cut above what’s available in similar cameras at a comparable price point. Also the size and form factor make it an easy and incospicuous camera to operate. The image quality is also quite good, with natural-looking colors and proper saturaton.As I said, I haven’t used it yet in highly demanding situations. But from what I’ve seen so far, I feel that I can safely recommend this camera for shooting very good quality videos without the need for a lot of ancillary equipment to assist with focusing or image stabilization. If I couldn’t lug a tripod or set up a camera cage with a wireless focus pull motor and were shooting a non-stationary subject, this would easily be my choice from among the several cameras I own. That’s not to say that it wouldn’t work well on a tripod or gimbel (sits relatively mall size is a great advantage here) or fitted out with a cage and attachments. But those things really aren’t as necessary for this cameras as they are for some other high-quality video cameras.My five-star rating is qualified by the fact that I haven’t had the camera very long or used it across a wide range of situations. So I can’t say that it works magnificently in every scenario or that it will last nearly forever. But I don’t know that those things aren’t true, either. And based on what it has been used for so far, it does just what I want.

My first camera and I love everything about it
This camera came heavily recommended by so many people and I have to say im very happy with it. While I have no way to compare to other cameras in this price range I haven’t found myself wanting more that this camera doesnt offer. It has great video features and takes beautiful photos.. Im not even good and getting good quality pictures.Camera stabilization features are very good and everything from the construction and feel of the camera is quality. Theres are lot to love but I do have a few problems that i havent quite figured out how to address. -I have made a lot of configurations but I just cant get them to get saved. I have to constantly load my settings every time I turn on the camera and its really nuisance. Luckily the menu always stays on load when its prompt.-The camera gives features to lock all functions but only when recording.. would be nice if you could do it while photographing. Not sure how to do it if it isnt the case. I read the whole guide and didnt find anything on how to address this issue.

Great Value! Compact and light with amazing features!
The autofocus is amazing, and with the Active IBIS you can leave your gimbal at home! You can shoot at 6k and the camera won’t overheat thanks to it cooling system. Amazing camera for video and for photo!

Great camera
This is my second one I purchased for interviews. Best bang for your buck camera on the market today without question.

PDAF and IBIS make for a huge difference
Coming from micro Four-Thirds, I’d used Panasonic bodies for a while. The familiarity with the S5 Mk II is immediate.Having used a GH4 and GX8 at skate parks to record video and get photos, I had many experiences with Panasonic over the years. The one thing that was uncomfortable was auto focus. With Panasonic or Olympus lenses, Panasonic bodies would hunt for focus.It’s much better with the S5 Mk II, although it still isn’t as good as it should be–95%, I’d say. I’m still becoming accustomed to it, but during night shoots, it isn’t doing as well as the GH4. This will likely be improved through firmware updates. I had similar issues with the Olympus E-M1.The In-Body Image Stabilization is amazing. It’s as good as a micro Four-Thirds Olympus body with the smaller sensor. That’s surprising. That makes it better than the competition. Add a Panasonic lens with OIS, and it’s even better.I love that the body and the lenses are weather-sealed. I photographed outside during three hurricanes with the Olympus E-1, so I know that weather-sealing is important. It’s reassuring that every Panasonic lens is sealed.The only downfall is that there are only a few lenses and most of them are f/1.8. Even though the IBIS is strong, working in darker conditions can be tricky. I’m waiting for more telephoto lenses, as well.I’m sure that Panasonic has developed a capable body for video or stills and this is it.

Great camera for the price
This camera is fantastic. The pictures have a very nice color straight from camera. The battery lasts way longer than other cameras and the video files look so great.

An great, all in one, hybrid full frame camera. Excellent build quality and really comfortable to hold. I don’t have anything negative to say about the camera. It does everything well – great pictures and fantastic video. Lots of flexibitliy with video, although I mainly shoot photos. Highly recommend.

La encontré en una promoción fugaz de Amazon el cuerpo por 27,000 mxn y simplemente es la mejor compra que he hecho.Tiene un rango dinámico espectacular y graba hasta 6K30p sin recorte.El problema que no lo considerarÃa como tal es la limitación momentánea de los lentes, pero con la alianza Lumix-Leica-Sigma-DJI pronto podremos disponer de más lentes a mejor precio.

Just get it, if you’re like me you’re on the fence between this or the Sony (insert all variations and prices) for the price vs what you get in this camera it really is amazing. I’ve had this for over 2 months and I honestly love this camera. the kit lens is great and sharp as hell, very usable focal range.

Hands down the best camera for the price currently on the market. Only downside is cropped 4k 60fps but that’s expected at this price point. The dual native iso produces NO noise in the shadows and the image can be pushed super far in post with restoring highlights and boosting up shadows. Blown away at the versatility of the image and the dynamic range. If you have a GH5 or GH6 this is the worthwhile upgrade to full frame. Zero issues with this camera and I’ll be using it for many years to come as my A-cam on all commercial productions.
