Our thoughts:
'The Panasonic LUMIX S5D is a bit of a hidden gem. It’s compact, rugged, and impressively powerful for its size—ideal for those who want high-end stills and video without lugging around a larger rig. We particularly love the colour science, intuitive menus, and the ability to shoot 6K with full creative control. The Dual Native ISO means you can push low-light scenes without the usual noise worries, and the fully articulating screen makes it perfect for solo shooting. Whether you’re a hybrid shooter or just getting into video production, the S5D is a rock-solid choice for your next hire.'
