As we complete our Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 II review, we’ve run the camera through our recently revitalized studio test scene to see how it performs against the competition.
You can now select it as an option within any review, and you can also view it below.
The S5 II is built around a full-frame, 24MP BSI CMOS sensor with on-sensor phase detection, a first for Panasonic. Panasonic describes the S5 II’s sensor as new, but it shares its fundamental specs with the S5, suggesting a closely shared lineage. Under the hood, the video-centric S5 IIX shares the same sensor, with additional video features like Raw video output, internal ProRes recording and external SSD support.
The S5 II also sports a new processor, created as part of a co-development project with Leica, which helps enable the S5 II’s ability to shoot at 30fps in e-shutter mode and improved subject recognition tracking system.
