The new Panasonic Lumix S5 camera will replace the S1 as a transition camera for video and photo content creators.

A few weeks ago, the S5 was announced, which expresses an increase in the popularity of the Panasonic line of cameras with the L lens connection jack. While rumors spread on the Internet about what the camera will offer, we were officially provided with all the specifications in the live event.

About the Panasonic Lumix S5 camera

The Lumix S5 has a 24.2MP full-frame full-frame sensor. The camera is designed like the S1, for both photos and videos. However, the camera is $ 500 less than the S1, and it retails for $ 1999.99.

Interestingly, instead of omitting the higher-tier features as less expensive models usually do, the S5 not only includes the features in the S1, but also includes the price of $ 3,999 for the S1H.

The camera can capture video at up to 60 frames per second at 4: 4: 2: 0 10-bit rate. It also contains 4: 2: 2 10-bit standard frame rates. Like the S1H, you can record externally in 4: 2: 2 10-bit 60fps. Through a firmware upgrade the camera will be able to shoot RAW 5.9k on the Atomos Ninja V recorder.

price

The Lumix S5 is priced at $ 1,999 or $ 2,299 with a 20-60mm lens kit. While the camera costs less than the S1, it feels like an abstract version of the S1H. 

The S1, S1H, and S1R cameras are heavy and bigger cameras. The Lumix S5 is smaller, lighter, and cheaper, and it's a bit like the Sony A7S line. The camera is clearly aimed at photo / video content creators. But with the in-camera features, it would also be a great B camera alongside the S1H.
