Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 IIX body

The Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX is a welcome addition to the popular LUMIX S series. This mirrorless camera delivers incredible photo and video performance in an attractive, compact design. Compared to the LUMIX S5II, the LUMIX S5 IIX goes that little bit further for the professional videographer, wrapped in a sleek, matt-black finish. The S5 IIX features a 24-megapixel 35mm full-frame sensor that lets in plenty of light and delivers razor-sharp images. Combined with the advanced image processor, the sensor ensures outstanding image quality for both photo and video.

Reliable autofocus and stabilisation

The redesigned image sensor introduces, for the first time in the LUMIX line-up, hybrid phase-detection autofocus. This hybrid autofocus system combines phase detection with contrast detection for fast and reliable focusing. The new system can easily recognise subjects even in challenging conditions such as low light. Once focus is locked, it continues to track the subject across the frame. Continuous autofocus is also available when zooming, as well as AF micro adjustments.

The LUMIX S5 IIX features significantly improved image stabilisation, allowing you to capture stable, sharp shots even when shooting handheld. Active image stabilisation is particularly useful in demanding conditions — such as when using a telephoto lens or filming while walking. It also ensures highly stable video footage by optimising horizontal, vertical, and rotational correction.

Exceptional video performance

This mirrorless camera offers exceptional video performance comparable to the LUMIX S1H. Shoot in 4:2:0 10-bit 6K (3:2) and 5.9K (16:9) at 30fps, and 4:2:2 C4K/4K at 60fps. Recording in High Frame Rate is straightforward, with up to 120fps and slow motion up to 180fps. You can use various colour profiles, including 14+ stop V-Log and V-Gamut. Support for a REAL TIME LUT function means you can upload colour correction LUTs to an SD card and apply them directly in-camera, rather than during post-processing.

Built for serious videographers

The S5 IIX goes even further than the S5II when it comes to video. The LUMIX S5IIX is capable of recording 5.8K Apple ProRes and C4K RAW or All-Intra footage to an SSD or recorder. The camera supports both wireless and wired IP streaming as well as USB tethering. The S5 IIX can record in C4K 30p 4:2:2 10-bit, whereas the S5II records in 4:2:0. 4K S and Q Slow Motion are also recorded on the S5IIX with 4:2:2 chroma subsampling for outstanding colour depth. Professional videographers will appreciate features such as Waveform Monitor, Vector Scope, and Zebra Pattern. Additional features like System Frequency (24.00Hz) and Synchro Scan make this camera well suited for professional use.

Excellent photos with minimal workflow

The camera offers a range of options to help you achieve excellent results with minimal workflow. Features such as AWB lock, MF assist, and a new Live Crop function deliver a highly refined shooting experience. An HDMI Type-A port and USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection provide extensive connectivity options. Thanks to 5GHz Wi-Fi, you can also connect wirelessly to smartphones and tablets quickly and reliably. Dual UHS-II memory card slots ensure you always have plenty of storage space.

Panasonic Lumix L-mount 24-60mm f/2.8 S

Looking for a versatile zoom lens for your L-mount camera? You've found it! The Panasonic Lumix S-E2460E is a high-quality zoom lens that sets itself apart with its large maximum aperture of f/2.8 across the entire zoom range. This light-gathering capability not only ensures excellent image quality and beautiful bokeh effects, but also makes it possible to shoot at faster shutter speeds, even in low light — meaning sharp images with minimal motion blur.

The focal length is adjustable from 24 to 60mm, making it enormously versatile across a wide range of applications: from dynamic landscapes and architecture at 24mm to atmospheric portraits with beautiful background blur at 60mm. All of this in a relatively light and compact lens weighing just 544g — ideal for photographers who are frequently on the move.

A standout feature is the Hybrid Zoom function, which lets you extend the zoom range to an impressive 187mm without changing lenses. This is achieved through a combination of optical zoom and crop zoom, operated directly via the zoom ring.

This lens is also an excellent choice for videographers. Focus breathing — the optical phenomenon where the image slightly zooms in or out as you shift focus from one point to another — is suppressed. This results in smoother, more professional-looking footage where the frame remains consistent as focus changes. The lens also features a quiet autofocus motor, which is essential when recording video.

Thanks to an impressively short minimum focusing distance of 19cm (at focal lengths between 24 and 30mm), you can get close to your subject for greater creative freedom and near-macro imagery.

Finally, this lens is built for tougher conditions: it is dust-, splash-, and frost-resistant (down to -10°C), making it suitable for use in a wide variety of weather conditions.
