Well...I don't know how realistic that is, because then why wouldn't Panasonic just do this?

This is a fantastic hybrid camera and Panasonic is always underrated by the Sony/Canon folks. If I wasn't in Fuji this would be my next go-to.

FYI if you order via Amazon, the body itself eligible for 30 day return for a full refund, but the kit with the lens is not returnable. So make sure you really want/like the camera. The other retailers might have a more generous return policy for the kit.

Great camera in a lot of ways, but the autofocus is 2 generations behind Canon/Sony.

Any photographer with decent skills will not let the minuscule AF differences stop them. Very subjective since AF depends on many factors. Reviews are outstanding on it.

Absolutely not true. First of all, even photographers with "decent skills" use autofocus and will buy cameras just for the autofocus ability. Sports photography relies heavily on auto focus. Entire generations of Nikons or Canons were won based upon small differences in auto focus ability. Second of all, autofocus is extremely handy when shooting video with fast lenses. I'm a professional videographer who regularly uses $10k-$20k professional video cameras. We recently tested a sony SLR that featured its latest autofocus technology using a 50mm f1.2 lens at its maximum aperture. Normally, this would be a difficult shot for a moving subject. Even the head movements that a person makes during an interview would put them out of focus. The Sony eye tracking auto focus never missed a single frame over the entire test. I and many of my colleagues have spent years honing follow focus skills. The Sony is better. It's also twice as much as this camera. Nevertheless, there are many many "decent" photographers who wouldn't buy this camera because of the autofocus.

Compared for what? Stills shooting? Vlogging? Travel? Action shooting? Run and gun video? Professional video? Autofocus? Too broad a question without knowing what you plan to do.

S5 has advantages and a7C has advantages. Depends on use case.
