Lumix S5 & 20-60mm Kit - 5 Reasons It’s The Best Camera Under $2000

If you're looking for a new camera in 2021 the Panasonic Lumix S5 with the Lumix 20-60mm Lens is the kit you've been waiting for. Not only is it incredible for video and photography... the whole kit is only $1997 right now. This makes the Lumix S5 the best full frame camera you can buy under $2000 and one of the best cameras you can buy in 2021. It has amazing dynamic range, high resolution images, and a plethora of features like IBIS, cinema 4K 10 bit internal, 6K Pro-Res RAW with the Ninja V and more.

In this video I go through my 5 reasons why I think the Lumix S5 is an INCREDIBLE deal for $2000.

I literally just got chills when you showed the pro res raw footage. Crazy thing is, i was watching it in 480p. Panasonic just came with the next gen version of the GH5. This camera will have the same legendary impact on the game. Ppl years from now will be making “why the s5 is still the best camera for beginning filmmakers” type videos

[TristanLaughton]

Loving all of the Panasonic content! I feel like every other channel only talk about Sony cameras. Good to see you showing some Lumix love.

3 years later, I just bought this setup. It's paired with my MD and MC Rokkor lens collection, and I've fallen in love with photography all over again. Is it worth it in 2024, even with multiple updates and mark II's, etc? 100% YES.

This video helped me decide on my purchase, thanks!

Dude. Coming from a 6D, nearly bought the GH6. You've sold me on the S5. Hybrid usage for me and the price is incredible. Really enjoyed your videos so far - just subscribed!

[AlexOnStreets]

Bro I love how much quick shade on haters you throw in this video, especially at the end. Great video. Been considering this camera.

[LeeZavitz]

S5 is the only camera to come close to the GH5 IBIS. Love the 4:3 like everyone else

[StephenBell_video]

Love the melancholy vibes! This cam with a Ninja V is a cinema camera-...a cinema camera with AF!

[NigelBarros]

Definitely agree with you about that 20-60, wasn't super impressed at first but it's been growing on me for sure! Also loving the 4:3

[tylerjohnson]

Headed to create in august. Thinking I’m going with the S5. Camera looks insane

[MarkHoltze]

Man the falls, moods hitting right. Looks like a ghost town. Wish the S5 was out before I dropped all that $$$ on the S1H, value on this thing is (as you said) REALLY good. Enjoyed this one mate, nice to see you and Lee out doing shit.

Woah! 4:3 Aspect Ratio!!! OMG the photos and videos look SOOOO GOOOD!!! 😍😍😍 Amazing video as always Patrick!!! 😁

[mashudali]

Bro - i'm really thinking of getting this body as a Fujifilm Xpro 2 user. Love Fuji and I have really got the Lumix bug, so many features!

[JoshuaTimothy]

There is something watching this ratio on the iPad Pro, great use of the screen. I’m planning on getting the S5, hopefully this next year.

[shaddring]

Think I got bed bugs just watching that old hotel footage. Good stuff.

[TheFilmmakersWorkshop]

Nearly spat my morning coffee...several times! Great delivery and info. Definitely looking forward to your Niagra noir documentary 🍁

[brandanscheller]

The aspect ratio made me feel like I was actually there in the photos. Haven’t had that feeling on YouTube....so trippy
