    Beauty & The Beast All In One!!!
    5 Stars
    Beauty & The Beast All In One!!!
    Firstly, I’m going to clear it up that I’m not a professional photographer at all but OMG, this camera is stunning! Before purchasing this camera I bought the Canon 5D Mark IV $2900 + lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 $1500 (even though it’s older… wanted to use it because I heard it was awesome). Had it for 3 days & found it to be perfect for my except the focusing. I was having issues with focusing which is not great for me since I’m a YouTube content creator. Maybe it was too much camera for me. Just my honest opinion.Next I purchased the Sony a7 IV $2895 now this one I was very excited because it came with a lens & it was lightweight. If used correctly, it is a WONDERFUL camera. Use it for small video clips & pictures. NOT for long form content because it will overheat! After 10 mins just being on “BOOM” overheated & believe me I was in a 65° studio room. I love my office to be cold coming from San Francisco moving to Phoenix… yeah I need it cold. Not used to the heat. So I noticed overheating issues. Took it outside to take some pictures of my husband doing a golf tournament & once again it overheated after a three minute video clip but I’m sure it was also because I was under an umbrella outdoors where the heat was 110° so that didn’t make it any easier for the camera. Shortform recording excellent, longform nope! Returned it after 2 days. If you live in AZ, forget it. Not a smart purchase.Pretty bummed but decided to order this camera, Lumix S5IIX $2900 (with the lens kit) it was back ordered but was it worth it? YES!!! It’s crystal clear, the pictures are amazing. Wow! The camera is gorgeous & not as heavy as the Canon. Panasonic has created a beast, seriously. Didn’t have to purchase a starter lens which made my purchase feel great & on top of that the auto focus works like magick! The camera is easy to work with, especially from someone who isn’t tech savvy at all. The camera isn’t as heavy as the Canon but it’s heavier than the Sony of course. But here’s my favorite part. Took it to my sons jiu jitsu tournament in 104° weather, it didn’t overheat! It has a built in fan, omgggg. Next the focus was phenomenal… I didn’t struggle at all. The stabilization on this camera is smooth as butter to use. I’m telling you from someone who doesn’t know anything about cameras, I’m hooked. I’m so obsessed with my camera that I was showcasing it lol. People were asking me what camera did I have at the tournament, because they loved the look. I converted two Canon photographers over to the Panasonic side. No joke, this is a steal. Buy it! It will be worth every penny.Xya Soul 💕

Took it outside to take some pictures of my husband doing a golf tournament & once again it overheated after a three minute video clip but I’m sure it was also because I was under an umbrella outdoors where the heat was 110° so that didn’t make it any easier for the camera. Shortform recording excellent, longform nope! Returned it after 2 days. If you live in AZ, forget it. Not a smart purchase.

    Pretty bummed but decided to order this camera, Lumix S5IIX $2900 (with the lens kit) it was back ordered but was it worth it? YES!!! It’s crystal clear, the pictures are amazing. Wow! The camera is gorgeous & not as heavy as the Canon. Panasonic has created a beast, seriously. Didn’t have to purchase a starter lens which made my purchase feel great & on top of that the auto focus works like magick! The camera is easy to work with, especially from someone who isn’t tech savvy at all. The camera isn’t as heavy as the Canon but it’s heavier than the Sony of course. But here’s my favorite part. Took it to my sons jiu jitsu tournament in 104° weather, it didn’t overheat! It has a built in fan, omgggg. Next the focus was phenomenal… I didn’t struggle at all. The stabilization on this camera is smooth as butter to use. I’m telling you from someone who doesn’t know anything about cameras, I’m hooked. I’m so obsessed with my camera that I was showcasing it lol. People were asking me what camera did I have at the tournament, because they loved the look. I converted two Canon photographers over to the Panasonic side. No joke, this is a steal. Buy it! It will be worth every penny.

    Firstly, I’m going to clear it up that I’m not a professional photographer at all but OMG, this camera is stunning! Before purchasing this camera I bought the Canon 5D Mark IV $2900 + lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 $1500 (even though it’s older… wanted to use it because I heard it was awesome). Had it for 3 days & found it to be perfect for my except the focusing. I was having issues with focusing which is not great for me since I’m a YouTube content creator. Maybe it was too much camera for me. Just my honest opinion.

    Next I purchased the Sony a7 IV $2895 now this one I was very excited because it came with a lens & it was lightweight. If used correctly, it is a WONDERFUL camera. Use it for small video clips & pictures. NOT for long form content because it will overheat! After 10 mins just being on “BOOM” overheated & believe me I was in a 65° studio room. I love my office to be cold coming from San Francisco moving to Phoenix… yeah I need it cold. Not used to the heat. So I noticed overheating issues. Took it outside to take some pictures of my husband doing a golf tournament & once again it overheated after a three minute video clip but I’m sure it was also because I was under an umbrella outdoors where the heat was 110° so that didn’t make it any easier for the camera.

    This is the most value-for-money camera out in the market as of April 2024. They just released a free firmware update and improved the auto-focus features and image stabilization (which was already superb before the update). I love the LUMIX color -- when you record with V-log, it gives a lot of flexibility to color grade. The built of this thing is like a tank. Few weeks after I purchased this, my tripod broke down to my horror, but it was unscathed from the drop on a hardwood flooring, 5 ft high! Nothing broke! Amazing. This will be my go to camera for the next few years for sure.

    Edited: I got to test the camera today, and I noticed that it was an open box when i received, but i figured, eh, looks brand new, what can be the issue. I Wanted to test the video and photo, the autofocus is horrible, I switched to vlog, and these thick lines started going from bottom of monitor to the top of the monitor, and that's how the video is recorded, with these lines! Seems like i got a broken camera....2,600$ for a broken camera. I still want this camera (not this one), i've seen the videos online and read the specs and it's awesome, but being that this was an open box, it seems there was something wrong with it. Returning it.

    Very easy to use. Photo clarity and ease of focus makes this camera a joy to use. Highly recommend. Sample photos of my dogs taken on day one of use by someone who has never used anything other than a cell phone camera for your reference.

    Me agrada que es una cámara excelente tanto para video como para fotos, en videos tiene opciones que cámaras más caras de otras marcas no tienen, por ejemplo, Sony, Canon, esta cámara hace videos en 6k a 30 fps, filma en Apple Prores a 5.8k, el estabilizador que en el cuerpo incorpora es una maravilla, tiene tantas opciones para video que puedes escoger la que más te guste.

    Easily the best camera under $5,000. Bomb video features, great photo capability, and to top it off, great price!

    Love the PDAF, lense, built quality, and ease of use. If anyone says it's an expensive camera as compared to other market brands, I would say there are a lot of whiners who will bitch no matter what. Human made things can NEVER be perfect as just stop griping and whining about this product. I gotta say, things will keep changing and improvements of all sorts will keep coming.
