Panasonic lumix s5 iix vs sony a7c ii?

Both are full-frame mirrorless cameras from 2023 with in-body stabilisation, so the choice comes down to resolution, mount, and which lenses you want to buy into.

The Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX has a 24.2-megapixel sensor and uses the L-Mount. The Sony a7C II has 33 megapixels on the Sony E mount, and it's the one I shoot with. It's small, and its extra resolution gives you more room to crop. Its lens list is also much longer, which gives you more choice.

I'd pick the a7C II unless you already own L-Mount lenses or prefer Panasonic's handling. If you go with the S5 IIX, the Panasonic Lumix S Pro 24-70mm f/2.8 is a solid everyday zoom.
