Lumix S5 IIX overview

The Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX is a 24.2 MP full-frame mirrorless camera for L-Mount, announced by Panasonic in January 2023.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits vlogging and selfies, video, wildlife and sport, and low light. It is a weaker pick for all-day shooting on one battery.

New, it sells for A$2,874.68 to A$3,199 at the 3 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$2,629 to A$2,875 new.

Worth comparing it with the Sony α7S III, Sony FX3 and Panasonic Lumix S5 II.

Low light & noise

6.0 µm pixels

24.2 MP on a full frame sensor, ISO up to 51,200

How it stacks up

  • 30 fps — faster bursts than 69% of the full frame mirrorless cameras we list
