Pansonic’s powerful S5 II is $800 off with a prime lens

Panasonic’s powerful full-frame mirrorless camera, the S5 II, is on sale at Amazon and B&H Photo Video at the lowest price we’ve seen yet. You can grab one with an 85mm f/1.8 prime lens for as little as $1,796, a savings of $800 over buying both separately — effectively giving you a discount on the camera and a free lens to boot.

Panasonic’s S5 II mirrorless camera is down to an all-time low price with an 85mm lens.

$1,798 at Amazon

As I wrote in my review, the 24-megapixel S5 II was already a great value at $2,000 thanks mainly to its strength as a vlogging camera. It’s the company’s first model with a phase-detect autofocus system that eliminates the wobble and other issues of past models.

Panasonic also brought over its new, more powerful stabilization system from the GH6. And it has the video features you’d expect on a Panasonic camera, like 10-bit log capture up to 6K, monitoring tools and advanced audio features. With the generous manual controls and excellent ergonomics, it’s an easy camera to use. It also comes with a nice 3.68-million dot EVF and sharp rear display that full articulates for vlogging.

For photos, it’s reasonably fast and great in low light, thanks to the dual native ISO system. Other features include dual high-speed SD card slots and solid battery life, particularly for video. The main downside is noticeable rolling shutter, but that shouldn’t be a dealbreaker for most users — particularly at that price.
