A big thank you for all the feedback..

I decided to stay with my K5-II for the time being as it does the job pretty well...
The S5, A7C, RP all are still entry level that can benefit from some more additions, will probably look into it next year when I seriously start looking into video

I have a Panasonic G9 which the FF S5 is modeled after to some extent. I believe the FF model is slightly larger but not by much. The G9 is easy to carry in the field, especially with smaller lens. I just read where Panasonic is releasing the S5ii which will have PDAF instead of just contrast AF.  I shoot with both EVF and a Pentax viewfinder so the difference to me is minimal. Shooting in less light the EVF wins though.   Anyway, good luck with whatever system you decide to shoot.
