Pros:Price. Solidity. Ergonomics and control arrangement. Functions. Stabilization. Classic (great) FF sensor file.
Cons:A big and heavy wire. Not generous battery. Lack of sensor protection. Original lenses sometimes expensive (70-200).
Opinion:The first sensation, opening the box, was to have taken a bigger and heavier car than usual. The design is square, essential. My last FF was the Sony A9II and, although there is not an abyss on paper, the feeling is that there is a noticeable difference. As all enthusiasts know, AF tracking and eye/face recognition are not as performing, but they work quite well. The battery is definitely less capable (I would say it takes half the shots) and lacks sensor protection. Obviously, we are not in the stacked sensor band. The disadvantages for me end here. Because, in my humble opinion, the S5II is equivalent or even superior in something else. First of all, it costs less than half. This also reminds me that the comparison is improper, but I had that and I referred to that. The ergonomics are much better. The physical commands are the ones I've always wanted and are very well put. The AF control with mode dial (AFS, AFC, MF) and central button for areas/tracking is convenient and intuitive. The three buttons behind the shot have a decreasing height and are easy to memorize and find. Finally, I go back to not moving my eye to look for a command or a menu. There is also the touch screen and here it works very well, we are at the level of a smartphone. The file is the classic and excellent / workable file of the full frame. As far as I can tell, I don't see any difference in terms of workability compared to the Sony file. It seems to me very similar to the A7III that I had before the A9II. My presets that worked well on the first, also do it on the second. The problem is that at the moment C1 and other applications do not see this format/model. It will take a few days. With Luminar and ON1 I had no problems. To give me a feeling of greater confidence, also contributes the stabilizer which is far better than that of the A7III/A9II. Only with the Olympus OM-1 and the Lumix GX-9 (two MFTs) I found better and we are not far away. The machine has all kinds of BKT, has the HR file and everything you can read on the Panasonic website, of course. What I can say is that everything is easily understandable and well put on the menus. In addition to this, I point out two intelligent things for me: the viewfinder can be easily switched to B / W (perhaps wanting to focus more on contrasts but without altering the shot) and there is also the night mode of the display (monochrome red) for those who go out for the night and maybe another enthusiast is next to it. It produces files of about 30Mb in raw. It has no advanced compressions (without losses) but with 30Mb you still work well. I'm using it with a Sigma 16-28 2.8 and the combination is fine. Unfortunately the 24-105 Panasonic F4 I arrived defective and I await the replacement. I know it's also very good for videos but I don't do any and I'm not able to say anything about it. I think I've rediscovered the taste of photographing without having to deal with half the time of the camera.
