Nikon Z5 vs Panasonic Lumix S1
The Nikon Z5 and the Panasonic Lumix S1 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Nikon Z5 if you want a lighter body (675 g against 899 g). On these specs the Panasonic Lumix S1 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.
