Panasonic lumix s5 ii vs panasonic lumix s5d?

The S5 II and the S5D share the basics: a 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor, L-Mount and in-body stabilisation. The differences are the year and the focus story. The S5 II came out in 2023 as Panasonic's first full-frame body with phase-detection autofocus, and I still think it's a superb video camera for the money. The S5D arrived in 2024 as a re-release of the S5 with support for DJI's LiDAR focus module, which only matters if you plan to use that accessory.

For an everyday kit, I'd pair either body with the Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Macro OIS for travel. The Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f/1.8 is a cheap, sharp choice for portraits in low light. If you want a fast zoom, the Panasonic Lumix S Pro 24-70mm f/2.8 is the one I'd save up for.
