Panasonic lumix s5 ii vs sony a7c ii?

Both are full-frame mirrorless cameras from 2023 with in-body stabilisation, so the choice comes down to what you shoot.

The Panasonic Lumix S5 II has 24.2 megapixels and was Panasonic's first full-frame body with phase-detection autofocus. It's a superb video camera for the money, so if filming is your main job, start there.

The Sony a7C II gives you 33 megapixels with the a7 IV's sensor in a small rangefinder-style body. It's what I shoot with, so I'm biased, but for stills and anything where you want room to crop, it's the one I'd pick.

Both have large lens ranges, so check the lens lists on each page against what you already own or plan to buy.
