Panasonic has announced a new compact full-frame system camera today, the Panasonic Lumix DC-S5. An interesting camera for anyone who also expects good video quality.

Panasonic Lumix DC-S5

You can see the Panasonic S5 as the little brother of the S1. It uses the same sensor, but is considerably smaller and more affordable. Interestingly, it is even smaller than the GH5, a micro four thirds camera.

Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 specifications


- 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor
- In-body image stabilisation
- 7 frames per second
- 3-inch swivelling and tilting screen (1.84 million dots)
- OLED electronic viewfinder (2.36 million dots)
- 2x SD(XC) card slots
- 4K (60p) video

The camera was, of course, announced in an online launch event.
