Re: Deciding between K1-ii and Panasonic S5 - Got the Z5 + 24-50 ** BIG THANKYOU ***

After doing tons of research.. I finally ordered the Nikon Z5 with the kit lens.
The size is just small enough to carry and not be much conspicuous while other are filming with iphones..

It was a tough choice between A7c and Z5.. but having used Nikon D40 before.. I went back to my trusted brand!

My major decision came by reviewing the photos on Flickr taken by these cameras - the end result!

S5 seemed technically the best but somehow photos lacked the punch
K1 has everything . nice IQ but lost on weight, size and old AF
Sony A1c - a bit unusual colors for me
Canon has the best colors but still lost on sharpness and high iso

Nikon seems to have best of all from what I need!...
Size, AF, IQ, weight...

It has been such an educational, informative journey for the last 10 years when I got my K5ii in 2012! .. Very nice discussions, at times heated.. but always technical and scientific.. am going to miss all of that.

Have sold all my gear except K5ii +18-135.. soon will probably sell
BIG THANK to all in this Pentax Forum..!!!
