It’s not easy to make it to the top of our list of the best video cameras. You’ve got to hit all the right notes at the right time and be better than the rest. At the moment, only one camera does all that, and that is the Panasonic Lumix S5 II. We gave it a five-star rating for good reason.
Normally costing just shy of $2,000, you can now bag the Panasonic Lumix S5 II at B&H for $1,597.99 (was $1,997.99). This $400 brings one of the best mirrorless cameras down to an all-low price.

Our Panasonic Lumix S5 II review calls this excellent mirrorless camera “the full package for photo and video creators”. We love the camera’s 24MP full-frame sensor and 6K/30p video recording. The fact that almost all video options are available in 10-bit makes the offering even more impressive.
Videographers will love the ability to record in multiple video aspect ratios, including 16:9 and 3:2, with the latter taking full advantage of the full sensor area.
The camera also includes next-level image stabilization which is a game changer for run-and-gun filmmakers. If you love shooting hand-held, then you’ll have no problem with clarity and sharpness.
The Panasonic Lumix S5 II is an amazing camera but it’s not the only kid on the block. For some of our other favorites, head over to our best mirrorless cameras guide. If you’re sold on Sony as a brand, then we also have a best Sony cameras guide.
