The S5Pro behaves and renders like a film camera, the burst is almost non existent, 1fps, AF speed is good also with screw driven lenses, dynamic range is nothing short than amazing, back in time it could rival some of the first FullFrame cameras like the Nikon D3, colors but especially skin tones are astonishing, as pointed above the AA filter is quite strong but it contributes to the smooth tonal range, it's a camera which require classy lenses, I'd couple it with a couple primes, for me it's match was the 50/1.4D, too good of a deal to let it go.

interesting i was thinking not to invest in prime lens to this camera as already have a lot of expensive in olympus m43. i would prefer a zoom lens. is a zoom lens can give beautiful portraits?

As with any camera - a better lens will produce better results at a detail level, the S5 is no different in this regard.

I myself prefer to use zoom lenses on all my cameras, but that is just a personal preference. On my S5Pro I used the Nikon 18-105 about 90% of the time and was quite happy with the results I got.

Since you're already heavily invested in m43 and this will be a secondary camera for you, I feel you should go with your gut-feel and get one of the Sigma zooms you mentioned.
