Panasonic has unveiled its latest video-focused full-frame mirrorless camera, the Lumix S5. The big trend in full-frame cameras right now is this kind of hybrid model, and the Lumix S5 joins the growing list options for YouTubers and video creators.
A smaller (if sadly not cheaper) version of the Panasonic Lumix S1, the Lumix S5 is a tempting package for those who are new to full-frame shooting, and who were slightly underwhelmed by the video capabilities of the Nikon Z5.
Built around a 24.2MP full-frame sensor, the S5 attempts to address all the criticisms made of previous L-Mount cameras like the S1, including their weight, size, AF speed and lack of an articulating screen.
This means we get a 714g body (compared to the 1kg heft of the S1) with a fully articulating touchscreen that flips round the face the front, making it ideal for video shooters and YouTubers. Impressively, this size makes it even smaller than the Micro Four Thirds Panasonic Lumix GH5.
