Panasonic Lumix S5 has the perfect balance between features and ease of use, and is one of the best buys in the full format class.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

Underrated camera in my opinion. Good build quaIity and very easy camera to use. No long complicated menus. Produces excellent images. Good dynamic range. Bought to use as a stills camera.

It's a great entry point for full-frame imaging, and a winner of our Editors' Choice award.Solid Build, L-Mount Compatibility The Lumix S5 follows the standard design paradigm followed by most full-frame mirrorless cameras. It's finished in basic black, and at 3.8 by 5.2 by 3.2 inches (HWD), is a bit slimmer all around than the S1 and S1R (4.3 by 5.9 by 3.8 inches). It's also notably lighter, at about 1.6 pounds without a lens, versus 2.2 pounds for Panasonic's bigger full-frame offerings. We criticized the S1 and S1R for being on the large side, but the...
