However, the issue I had with mine, which still exists with some of their current models (including the S5) is that they don't use Phase Detect for their autofocus.
Nowadays I understand they've improved a lot in terms of accuracy, but speed is definitely still an issue in terms of locking onto the subject.

S5 Pros: Larger Battery, doesn't overheat, excellent image stabilization
I'm looking to perhaps jump right to the S5ii with it's much improved autofocus. Really depends on what deals crop up. If I could get the 20-60 lens included for this price it would be a no brainer. You can use EF glass with these using an adapter, though with the S5 the focus doesn't work too well with them.
Bought body + 50mm F1.8 + 24-105 F4.
Missed the Fuji X-T5 deal, but Panasonic appears to have a very decent L-mount selection -relatively inexpensive compared to brands like Sony/Canon.

I plan to be doing mostly indoor portraits and outdoor portraits + sceneries, maybe some macros. The small size/weight of the M4/3 cameras are nice to have for traveling purposes. TIA
