B&H has launched a massive discount for the Panasonic Lumix S5 II with the Lumix 85mm S f/1.8. The price of $1,796 means a discount of $600 compared to its regular price.

One year ago, the Panasonic Lumix S5 II appeared in the market as a continuation of Panasonic’s hybrid line of full-frame cameras, concretely the original S5. The S5 II features internal 6K30p and C4K60p recording, V-Log, hybrid A.F. with phase detection -for the first time in Panasonic history-, Dual Native ISO, 5-axis stabilisation and enhanced Active I.S. B&H offers now a discount for the camera and the Lumix 85mm f/1.8.
An excellent hybrid camera with a huge discount
The Panasonic Lumix S5 II delivers in photography and video. Of course, the big news when the camera was released was the phase detect AF system. The usual Panasonic video tools are present: waveform monitor, zebras, the newly-added vector scope for monitoring, and a wide range of recording options. The new real-time LUT function allows users to bake custom LUTs into the footage directly in the camera. Panasonic also improved the camera connections, featuring a full-size HDMI port and a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connector. You can see the CineD’s S5II lab test here and our review here.
In photography, it can shoot up to 9 fps for up to 200 frames (Raw) or 300 frames (JPEG) using the mechanical shutter. With the electronic shutter, the camera can shoot up to 30 fps for up to 200 frames (Raw and JPEG).
