Full frame mirrorless camera is 'a delight to use' - and it's a lot cheaper | Amateur Photographer

Home » Full frame mirrorless camera is ‘a delight to use’ – and it’s a lot cheaper

One of the highlights of the recent Amazon Spring Sale is the hefty discount on the Panasonic Lumix S5II, a full frame mirrorless camera that is just as happy recording high-quality video as taking high-quality stills.

You can now get this highly capable ‘hybrid camera’ for $1497.99.

There is also a great Amazon UK deal, with the ticket on the Panasonic Lumix S5II slashed to a very tempting £1499.

As we said in our original review, the Panasonic Lumix S5II is a ‘a delight to use with really helpful menu innovations, controls and features. With great video too, these are great achievements in a compact camera.’

While content creators who want to record high-quality video as well as stills can find cheaper options, the Panasonic is a really good buy at this price. Indeed, it’s almost as cheap new as buying second hand! The Panasonic Lumix S5II has tons of power and versatility so it is not a camera you will outgrow quickly.

I am the deputy editor of Amateur Photographer, working closely with the team to make the website and magazine as good as possible. I've been working on magazines since 1995 and am also a keen travel and portrait photographer when time allows, reaching the finals of the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year contest in 2015 and achieving my Licentiate from the Royal Photographic Society the year before. I also keep my wedding-photography hand in by shooting a few ceremonies a year. I am particularly interested in how photography can help people express their creativity more effectively, or deal with mental health issues and other challenges.
