For reference, I currently own the first gen Canon 5D. I was hoping to use an adapter to allow use of my 24-70 and 70-200 Can on EF lenses. And I have a number of manual focus lenses, like Contax C/Y mount, Leica R mount, as well as Olympus OM, Nikon F, and Contax G.
Trying to find a gift, but we are not going to figure out all the features / setup /etc. End-use would be taking photos of outdoor mostly, flowers, nature, and getting a good enough picture to do a nice 11x17 canvas/print and not look grainy.
Alternatively, is this particular camera noob friendly (i.e. is there an "Automatic" mode that doesn't take any real adjustment/expertise?)

For video, there's not much comparison. Better autofocus will exist on Sony. But beyond that, this camera should be better. 4k/60p exist, better color in the codecs (4:2:2), more settings for video, and lots of little features.
I use a lot of manual lenses with mine for video and actually love the fotodiox adapter to canon that has the built in variable nd.

How's manual focusing for video on the S5? Are focusing aids (like focus peaking) adequate? Do you use a gimbal for video?
Thanks for your help. Wasn't expecting to run into a manual lenses here on SD!

I don't use a gimbal a ton because the in body image stabilization is so good on this camera. Shooting handheld with a prime 85 lens for video is very manageable. A camera without that feature makes it impossible because you get a ton of micro jitters from just holding it.
If you're photo only, I'd probably have a harder time deciding what camera to buy. I bought them for a video camera first and for $1500, there's nothing out there that can compete.
PS: I am very new to photography, and someone recommended me the EOS R5, but it's darn expensive!
I picked up a 35mm pancake lens for mine and it's fun except that manual focus is tough with the size viewfinder screen on it.
