Thanks to all for your thoughts. Clearly no vast advantage to either, the proof will be in the eating when the time comes.

Until it's in your hand, you can never tell. I was immediately at home with the S5, but I see the 5ii has a slightly wider hand grip which might suit you better.

Yes, this is what I always thought. I've had systems before, Nikon D700, a couple of M43 and the disappointing Canon RF. But the Lumix 20-60 suits what I do so well and is so small and neat that I ...

He has no ff Nikon equipment and like me shoots mostly stills. I should be visiting him in Australia in March, I'll take my S5 and 20-60. We can also go to the remaining camera shops so he can ...

My son is choosing between the Nikon Z6ii and the Panasonic S5ii. He has a historical leaning towards Nikon, I use and have recommended the Panasonic. Any thoughts on this? I've also posted in the ...

My son is looking to buy a full frame mirrorless camera, first since his DSLR D60 ages ago. I use and love my Panasonic S5, he is looking at the Nikon Z6 ii. Any thoughts on the Z6ii vs the S5ii? A ...

Yes, I came to this conclusion myself, read the 16-28 reviews this afternoon.

On rare occasions, it's nice to be able to choose between images shot fractions of a second apart.

It is the 30 fps burst with e-shutter that interests me. I'm looking for reasons to change from my S5, I would love the excitement of a new camera. Unfortunately, the improvements are hardly ...

Question as above. Thanks

PS  I'm surprised you are looking at the S5.  An excellent camera in my view, but has lost all visibility in the market place.

Not regretted it for a moment.  With the excellent and diminutive 20-60 lens it is truly small and light by full frame standards. The 20-60 fits my needs perfectly, I have other lenses, but find I ...

Not only is the S5 an excellent stills camera (I don't shoot video), but I would buy it again just for the 20-60 kit lens. Not just an excellent lens, but the perfect range for nearly everything I ...

Try the Sigma 100-400, then it will seem tiny.

Thanks all for the responses, not Interested in viewing at 100 % so I'll pass on the S1R. Rens Every silver lining has a cloud

Actually, I don't doubt the higher resolution sensor will extract more detail from good, perhaps most, lenses. And I am not interested in looking at 100%. I'm wondering if I will see the extra ...

I'm completely happy as of now with my S5 and two lenses, 20-60 and Sigma 100-400.  Not that I've found much use for the Sigma, but it's super sharp compared with the Canon EF 70-300 I had with my ...

I absolutely love the S5 with the 20-60.  It's so compact, the range is perfect for me, and I'm so happy with the IQ. 28 mm would be too wide a zoom starting point, I'd want to carry another lens ...
