Which of the Sonys does this compete with and which would u recommend? What is a good walk around lens from say 18-130 to pair this with. Amateur here using canon t7i with canon 70-200 2.8 for sons soccer. Would like good combo of video and photo capabilities. Tia.

I would say s5 can compete sony a73, picture wise out standing! Video is great, color science is great, but it lacks in autofocus,if you handle af then its a gem of its segment.
Note : 4k video on higher framers are cropped to apsc.
Personally i prefer lumix over sony for color science.

96 with pixel shift. That's good for stationary scenes where things don't move.

Uhh, it has AF, it just isn't good AF. As far as video goes though, there's nothing Sony has that can match this thing for Video, in this price range.

Nope, the S5 has motion compensation for the pixel shift mode.

If I recall correctly, this is the ONLY full frame camera on sale today that doesn't support pdaf. Come to think of it. This maybe the only full frame mireless camera to not support pdaf ever.

quite an achievement actually. since the S5 mark 2 did receive pdaf, this maybe going in history with this title. worth getting it just for the bragging rights.

This camera for the most part runs circles around the Canon R8, however there's a lens issue that I'm not sure how widespread it is. Need more people who own this camera to check their lenses. I stumbled on this issue yesterday.

This camera is without a doubt the best $$$ you can spend for $1,000 right now. But only if you don't need Sony level continuous AF in video and stills.

His comment is 100% accurate. The S5 lacks in the autofocus department. As in it has AF, and it lacks in performance.

Again, his comment is correct. You shoot stationary subjects with high res mode. I would like to see you try it on birds flying...

All I know is I shoot around the ocean sometimes, and my my 50mm 1.4 and 70-300mm lenses could use a cleaning as there is a lot of moisture in the air. Despite this, they produce extremely sharp photos. The 50mm 1.4 is basically flawless in terms of image quality, and I shoot on an s1r. So personally, I don't see a reason to check as even if there is some residue I would never part with these two lenses, I would just be stressing myself out knowing there's weird crap inside of them.

Umm, you can have movement in the frame, so it does compensate for such movement. He clearly said where things don't move. Both this and the higher end Olympus ca do somethings with their Pixel Shift and Motion Compensation.
