IBIS is needed for my indoor photography

Okay.

The size of S5 with the 20-60 kit lens is 980 gm vs 1165 gm for my present K5ii+18-135
And I gain in the FF sensor so seems win-win

Of course I lose on tele end but for my landscapes, I gain significantly in the wide end .

Did you mention real estate photography in another thread? Yes, 20mm on a FF is going to be wider than 18 (or even 16) on an APS-C, but from what I've seen even that might not cut it for real estate sales work.

I've done RE work with the K-1 for years, and I wouldn't dream of going to a job without at least a 15mm lens. Many of my scenes are shot tighter, especially in larger homes and spaces, but there's no substitute for a wide lens when you need to depict a small bathroom or kitchen, and you might find in older homes. You can only back up so far.

For that, Panny offers a 16-35 zoom. I could work with that. Also an economical 15mm MF lens from Laowa. So it looks like the L-mount has that box checked.
