Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

It was time to switch from 6D + 24-105. Since I am an amateur, I need a full frame and all in one and less weight. Total chose S5 kit after they gave a discount + 50 / 1.8 as a gift. All together it cost 175,000. The choice was between: 6R is more expensive. Sony has more lenses and they are a bit cheaper. But for some reason, no. Chose because of the matrix "S5 uses the same 24MP sensor as S1 with S1H" BUT S1H is approved by Netflix. Therefore, the picture with even hands will be modern). Staff 20-60 is so good that it makes no sense to change. Although after Kenon I really want to. A bunch of S5 + 50 / 1.8 with a masterpiece button! An example photo (not attached) - a light bulb from the corridor, without processing, full automatic, this is the 6th frame after the box). For me, this purchase does not make economic sense. It was more logical for amateur video shooting to take the G7 on ebay (or iphone 12) and leave 6D for photos. Technically, a fotika for 5 years is definitely enough. The masterpiece button makes me happy)

Pros
  • Matrix full frame. Focus on the eyes in backlight - works). The video quality is impressive. Autofocus in video works almost like on small matrices) Comfortable grip. Light weight. Surprisingly good whale 20-60. Both for photos and videos.
Cons
  • Price
