Panasonic Mirrorless Cameras 2016

I have used a variety of mirrorless cameras, starting with Sony A7s and A7rII and then the GH5 and most recently the Canon EOS R. The only camera that Ive held on to long-term is the GH5, so I was very excited when I heard Panasonic was releasing a full-frame mirrorless camera. Now that it has arrived, it is truly the most professional, robust, and beautiful mirrorless camera Ive used.  To complement my GH5, I wanted a full-frame mirrorless as well. I bought and tested out the Canon EOS R, but found it frustrating ergonomically and with hindered video specs (big crops, no stabilization, etc), it required a lot of compromises. It took beautiful images, but for video (which is what I mostly do), the GH5 outperformed it in every way.  Next to the EOS R (and definitely all the Sonys), the Panasonic S1 feels like a true professional camera. Its a bit heavier than the other mirrorless cameras, but since I mainly use Sigmas 24-70, 18-35, or 50-100mm, once you have the lenses on there, its not a huge difference. Its actually more comfortable because the grip is so nicely designed.  REALLY looking forward to the 10-bit, V-Log update in a couple of months as well as the Sigma EF L adapter in a few weeks. Will really help make this camera shine.  With Sigma officially on board to make a lens collection and with Panasonics track record of amazing lenses, the L-Mount and Panasonics full frame cameras will be the system to beat in the near future.

I've always loved Panasonic cameras and think their S1 and S1H series is the best mirrorless video quality out there - and by quite a bit. The S5 matches that in video but in a much smaller and more compact package. The photos (like the S1 and S1H) are also amazing and are just beautiful. Panasonic colors really are on another level. I highly recommend!

Fantastic camera was created before its generation back in 2016. I had used it many years prior went on to the new technology mirrorless world. But recently I picked up this camera body at 1/2 price on B&H site and boys I’m in love with it again. The amazingly beautiful colors pairing with buttery smooth bokeh are what missing in digitalization mirrorless camera. Another reason for me is I know for sure this camera will perform in extreme conditions in the Arctic region for my upcoming expeditions. This is one of the camera body will stay in my bag until I can’t pick it up anymore. Get yourself one before it’s gone.

I have the larger size and it is too big for a Panasonic M4/3 Mirrorless.� This one is perfect.

Amazing stabilizer, great with mirrorless cameras.

Solid Ball Head  for mirrorless cameras!

Been loving this lens our our mirrorless cameras.

Works as advertised with both my Olympus & Panasonic cameras.

Works perfect with my Panasonic Lumix GH5 II Mirrorless Camera!

Excellent D-Tap to USB-C Power Delivery Cable for Mirrorless Cameras. A must have cable if you own a mirrorless camera and want to power it via a V-Mount Battery so you won't have to worry about the battery dying out on you on a video shoot.
