Panasonic Lumix S1 II vs Sony a7 V
The Panasonic Lumix S1 II and the Sony a7 V side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Sony a7 V if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (33 against 24.1 MP); more lenses made for it in this guide (278 against 158); and a lighter body (695 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 L-Mount or Sony E lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
