📖 Overview

The Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 II is a full-frame mirrorless camera that marks a turning point with its inclusion of Phase Detection Autofocus, as shown in the 2100 sample photos on SampleShots. It suits photographers and videographers wanting a well-rounded camera with improved autofocus performance. While the autofocus is improved, it may still not be quite as refined as some competitors.
