I've found recently myself in a similar dilemma, fueled by a mix of GAS, bargain hunt and recently facing limitations while shooting (my very young children).

I got struck by the falling prices of the Panasonic S5, which triggered my curiosity, particularly with the 20-60 kit lens. The flip screen, video capabilities and focus tracking would all be a significant improvement for chasing my young children. Currently at around 1100 after a cashback (with kit lens!) it seems to be a steal around here...

That nice.. where is this deal for S5 ..please share
-- ## Thanks!

It's available here in Switzerland trough a Black Friday super cashback from Panasonic. Until 30th november the ongoing cashback is doubled from 200 to 400, and I've seen the kit listed for 1499 in one of the partner shop.

I got interested in the system when I started seeing the kit going from 1300.- this summer, while facing the limitations of my current gear while trying to track candid shots of my kids.
