Nikon zf vs panasonic lumix s5 ii?

Both are 2023 full-frame mirrorless cameras with around 24 megapixels and in-body stabilisation. They differ mainly in how they feel to use and what they're best at.

The Nikon Zf is for people who like shooting with dials. Its film-camera styling over a modern full-frame sensor is the main reason to buy it.

The Panasonic Lumix S5 II is my pick for video on a budget. It was Panasonic's first full-frame body with phase-detection autofocus, so it's the one to consider if autofocus performance matters most.

For an everyday kit, a standard zoom works well on either body:

• Zf: Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II
• S5 II: Panasonic Lumix S Pro 24-70mm f/2.8
