Panasonic lumix s5 ii vs sony a7 iv?

The Sony a7 IV is the better stills camera of the two. It has 33 megapixels against the S5 II's 24.2, so you get more room to crop and print large. It was announced in 2021, so it's the older body. Its lens range is also very deep.

The Panasonic Lumix S5 II is the one I'd pick for video. It's newer, it's Panasonic's first full-frame body with phase-detection autofocus, and it's a superb video camera for the money. Both have in-body stabilisation and both are full frame.

If you shoot portraits and everyday photos, try the Sony a7 IV with the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II. If you film as much as you shoot, the Panasonic Lumix S5 II with the Panasonic Lumix S Pro 24-70mm f/2.8 is a strong kit.
