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 $1,799.99 to $2,199.99 at the 4 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $2,197.99. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost $1,791 to $2,198 new. It launched at $2,199 (body only).

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
