The autofocus on the Panasonic LUMIX S5 II is pretty impressive. From what we've gathered, it features a 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor, and its autofocus is notably enhanced with the new Phase Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF) system. This update is a big deal for the LUMIX line and really bumps up the speed and accuracy, so it's handy in low-light or for fast action shots.
When it comes to video, folks seem to really like it as well. It can handle 4K at 60fps, and with its V-Log/V-Gamut color settings, you get some rich, dynamic video quality that's often likened to high-end models. Plus, there's an efficient heat dispersion system, so you can record long sessions without worrying about overheating.
That said, a few things could be a bit better. Battery life tends to be mentioned as a bit of a weak spot, so if you're out for a long day of shooting, bringing extra batteries could be smart.
Also, while the flexible lens options like the 20-60mm and 50mm are appreciated, some folks find the build a bit plasticky, even though they still produce good images.
Overall, the Panasonic LUMIX S5 II seems like a solid choice if you're in the market for a camera that performs well both with stills and video. Just keep an eye on the battery situation and maybe test the feel of the lenses to see if they match your preference.
