This is a class leading camera that goes head to head with the Canon R6ii and Sony A7IV. The advantage Canon has is no crop 4K/60. The panasonic has industry leading image stabilization, real time lut, and a high resolution photo mode as standout features, along with a built in fan which means no overheating in any mode, and costs quite a bit less. The Canon R6ii is on "sale" for $2300 with no lens.

The big improvement to the S5ii was much better auto-focus than it's predecessor. This is tempting, but I'd rather have the 20-60 kit lens for this price because of the 4K/60 crop. Either way, a great price for an amazing amount of value.

The Panasonic S5 and S5ii are among the best value mid range full frame cameras out there. Given the choice between the original S5 and Canon R8 it comes down to autofocus (R8 has excellent autofocus, S5 is lackluster) , battery life (R8 has a small battery), lack of image stabilization (R8 has no IBIS, which means canon IS lenses are required), and overheating (The R8 will overheat, the S5 generally does not.)

This guy's a little loony, but you'll enjoy his video...

They've improved the edge wobble in his video with firmware since he made it in the Panasonic. Class leading image stabilization. They also in a recent firmware update made it so you can use high resolution photo mode in the S5ii without a tripod.

The S5II allows you to use EF glass with an adapter and the autofocus works great. The original S5 lets you use Canon EF glass but the autofocus really doesn't work well.

Hope I could help.
The advantage of the S5IIX is in video features; the internal RAW/ProRes/All-I recording, recording over USB-C, the livestreaming options, etc. If you dont have use for those, then it wouldnt be worth what at this point is an extra $4-500.

What about the S5IIX? I saw on camelcamelcamel that it went on sale briefly for 2,197.99 with the 20-60mm lens in October, assuming for the slight possibility that it would reach this price again in BF, would it be worth the extra money over this model?
