Nikon Z5 II vs Panasonic Lumix S1 II
The Nikon Z5 II and the Panasonic Lumix S1 II side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Nikon Z5 II if you want a lighter body (700 g against 800 g). On these specs the Panasonic Lumix S1 II has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Nikon Z or L-Mount lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
