Panasonic Lumix S5 II with Phase Hybrid AF

Of course it is a very good photo camera but as usual Panasonic is among the best when it comes to the video compartment...

Lets see if we will have an underwater housing for it.

Camera will be introduced today along a new lens and maybe other goodies.

It comes in two flavors: DC-S5M2 and DC-S5M2X. The latter with Prores and IP streaming.

There is a new lens too:

LUMIX S 14-28mm F4-5.6 MACRO

lens construction: 14 elements in 10 groups (1 aspherical ED lens, 1 aspherical lens, 3 ED lenses, 1 UHR lens)

Maximum magnification: 0.5x (at 28mm) / 0.25x (at 14mm)

I will post specs after the Lumix event

I will be waiting for the update however I am not interested in 4k60 in APSC mode it is a feature many cameras have on the full frame

For sure Panasonic ergonomics are superior but without underwater ports this is all academic

I am afraid if you are into digital cameras and not video cameras the most cost effective option is Sony
