Panasonic LUMIX DC-S5E-K S5
I had the camera for a month and loved it.
I bought this for stills, but the video is critical to me. You want to shoot 10-bit colour on a vintage anamorphic lens and have the in-body stabilization smooth out all the shakes? Go for it.
The JPEGs look great straight out of the camera with a special mention for low light. With an f1.8 lens, this camera sees about as well as I do in the dark, and the ibis makes very slow shutter speeds possible handheld. I used to take a monopod out to get a bit more stability, but I do not need it with ibis. You can even get away with handheld footage as if it was on a tripod.
Without having, Autofocus that works, this camera is utterly pointless Panasonic cameras still have
the same terrible Autofocus from 5 years ago.
