The Panasonic Lumix S5II launched the second generation of Panasonic’s full-frame mirrorless camera system and was the first Panasonic to feature phase detect autofocus. As our review reveals, it’s a heck of an all-around camera for both still and video shooters.

Aside from optimization for infinity focus, according to this formula, Nyquist limited sampling with a 600/4's 150mm aperture & an R5's 4.38um pixels would be minimum f/16, but oversampling by 2x is common, so f/32, which checks with your recommendation above. We could get a 600/4 up to f/16 with two 2x stacked converters, but as you say, that's probably pushing the limit of diminishing returns, so oversampling at the pixel level is not reasonably feasible with a photo camera & lens. That could be compensated somewhat by oversampling at the image level, i.e. just stacking more images, e.g., shooting 8k video as in the example here.
It's made more complex because the R5 uses a Bayer mosaic, plus some sort of antialiasing filter. I can't guess whether there would be a meaningful increase in resolution at f/32 over f/16.
The AA filter may also reduce the effectiveness of super-resolution techniques (like Drizzle).
Have any well-heeled astrophotographers had their R5s modified? Some might want the anti-IR filter removed (for H-alpha sensitivity, like the Ra), the anti-aliasing filter removed, and the Bayer mask removed (making a high-resolution monochrome camera). I have no idea which of those would be possible. Any would require adding some glass (window) to preserve the focal plane with respect to the camera flange.

The latest Lumix puts a Four Thirds sensor in a full-frame body with boosted AF and a wealth of stills and video capabilities to create a Swiss Army Knife of a Micro Four Thirds camera.
The fourth camera in Leica's SL series of full-frame mirrorless cameras sees the 60MP BSI sensor from the Q3 and M11 models arrive with a significant interface redesign.
The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm's classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are among the updates.
The Nikon Zf is a 24MP full-frame mirrorless camera with classic looks that brings significant improvements to Nikon's mid-price cameras. We just shot a sample reel to get a better feel for its video features and have added our impressions to the review.

'What's the best mirrorless camera?' We're glad you asked.

Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
