Third Lumix S5, S5D in as many years- can't get over value for money when you spec delve, irrespective of DFD autofocus

S5D body , 18-40 lens ...

New

£629

Is there anything to compare.

Just ridiculous bang for buck.

got a huge 38" by 28" print on my wall ..

Still as usual - there are other great cameras / lens out there .

But I return to this.

Man a used XT2 still cost £400, and that's without a lens......
 
Welcome to LMF33

I am an S5D user too. I have the 18-40, 50mm, 26mm lens.
I bought my S5D a year ago. It has great value for the price.

A few weeks ago I bought a Sirui Saturn 75mm for video.
 
I use the original S5 which is the same camera and I'm perfectly happy with it. The AF isn't the best in the world but it's more than good enough for 95% of what I do. Whenever people ask me now about recommendations for cameras I tell them the S5D, there's simply nothing else on the market that comes anywhere close to the value.
