Nikon z5 vs panasonic lumix s5?

Both are 2020 full-frame mirrorless bodies with about 24 megapixels and in-body stabilisation, so on paper they're close. The bigger difference is the lens system behind each one. The Nikon Z5 uses the Nikon Z mount, which has a long list of lenses for it. The Panasonic Lumix S5 uses L-Mount, and its page notes contrast-detect autofocus and that it's cheap used.

For an everyday kit, I'd pair the Z5 with the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S and the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S. On the S5, go for the Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Macro OIS and the Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f/1.8. If you're not sure how sensor size changes framing, the sensor sizes page explains it.
