Laharrier Posted January 6, 2023 Share #1 Posted January 6, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thoughts on these new bodies and what they mean for the new SL? Specs look very good and fill in a lot of the gaps in performance with Sony, etc in the autofocus space. https://leicarumors.com/2023/01/04/just-announced-panasonic-lumix-s5-ii-x-cameras-with-a-new-phase-detect-autofocus-system-and-lumix-s-series-14-28mm-f-4-5-6-asph-lens-for-leica-l-mount.aspx/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Hi Laharrier, Take a look here Lumix S5II/X Announced…. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
hepcat Posted January 6, 2023 Share #2 Posted January 6, 2023 I think that it's going to be an awesome iteration of the S5, especially for those into video. For us still folks, I don't think the advancements are enough to dump existing cameras for. As a matter of fact, after seeing the spec sheet on the new S5II, I bought a new S5 WITH the Lumix 85mm f/1.8 for $1500. I also have an S1 and the autofocus just isn't as problematic as some suggest, at least not for me. The S5 for almost half price with a free lens was too good of a deal to pass up. It'll be interesting to see how Leica implements the new AF technology. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaemono Posted January 6, 2023 Share #3 Posted January 6, 2023 My thoughts are, with PDAF face/eye/body detect, 60 MP, and the APO 90 Summicron-SL street photography will become like wildlife photography, from the waist with a flippy screen. With 100 MP in the SL4/S1R III, you will be able to do street photography basically from your home if you crop down to 5 MP. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
malko Posted January 12, 2023 Share #4 Posted January 12, 2023 I actually think it's very good news for the L-Mount in general. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean vloggers who point the camera in the wrong direction. I haven't seen much about the S5 II from people who actually film something 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CineD and NewsShooter posted long reviews, and I consider them both to be "people who actually film something." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
