Quote from sriram87 :
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.

I had this and currently own an A7 IV. You're right on all points but I'd like to add that the S5 and S5 II's have probably the best IBIS in their class. I have essential tremors in my hands and the S5 has far better stabilization. Videos I've seen of the S5 II's IBIS shows that it's even a step above.

In any event, this is a great price!

Is it worth going for the s5ii if you're going to be shooting video for the af? Even if it were just streaming? And mainly pictures otherwise.

Absolutely. Contrast detect can make any video cringe-worthy.

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 suggest you get the Canon R7 and the EF to RF adapter. This will take your soccer photography to the next level.

Panasonic said a million times that PDAF will result in worse image quality. And they werent lying. Research it and you can find the S5II's image quality is worse than the S5. So I say this camera at this price is a crazy good deal.

It's negligible and only at pixel peeping levels.

Reality is that you have a better chance of missing focus than having "worse" IQ

Assuming this performs similar to their M4/3 AF, it's fine for landscapes and static stuff but good luck with anything that moves at all.

No Phase-detect Autofocus.

OK for photography, but not good for video.
