Panasonic S5 Mark II vs Canon R6 Mark II – Both of these cameras features the same sensor resolution, but as usual, the Canon R6 Mark II features advanced AI AF for fast-tracking and the Jpeg burst speed of the R6 Mark II touches the 40fps mark. Although the buffer capacity of the Canon is just half of the Panasonic S5 Mark II and u can store up to a Max of 70-100 image files in a single burst with Canon.
1. Senor and AF System
We are comparing the two specifications. Panasonic S5 mark II camera features a newly developed 24MP Sensor with Phase detect AF points and support of DFD still there. The Max burst speed of the Panasonic S5 Mark II is 30fps with an electronic shutter and the expandable ISO range is 50-204800. Since it’s Panasonic’s first full-frame camera so, we are not expecting blazing-fast AF performance like Canon R6 Mark II, but at least we will get a more accurate and fast AF system compared to its predecessor the Panasonic S5.

2. Open Gate 6k 60FPS
Both of the camer able to record 6k video, but only Canon R6 Mark II with a faster image processor is able to shoot 6k 60fps and the Panasonic S5 Mark II remains limited to 6k 30fps in 4:2:2 10bit mode. The only issue with Canon is the output the 6K output is available only via the HDMI port.
3. Crippled 4k 60fps? 1.5X Crop in Panasonic S5 Mark II
Canon R6 Mark II Camera is able to shoot up to 4k 60fps uncropped which isn’t possible with the Panasonic S5 mark II camera since it’s limited to 4k 1.5x crop. So, if you like to shoot 4k HQ some music videos, or anything fast u would like to shoot to 4k 60fps.
4. Cooling vents in Panasonic S5 Mark II
Canon R6 mark II camera doesn’t overheat while shooting 4k 24 or 30 fps, but while you are shooting 4k @ 60fps you may face some overheating issues while shooting in hot and humid conditions. At the same time, the Panasonic S5 Mark II camera features an advanced heat sink unit and cooling vents. but, at the same time, 4k 60fps is heavily crippled and the camera doesn’t do full sensor readout while shooting 4k 60fps. So, yes in a way we do have some added advantages of cooling vents in Panasonic S5 Mark II, but they are not that useful due to cropped 4k 60fps, better to get R6 Mark II if ur interested in recording uncropped oversampled 4k.
5. DUAL NATIVE ISO
Dual native ISO isn’t a new feature in Panasonic S5 Mark II, even the Panasonic S5 was having from ISO 640 – 4000 in VLOG. I don’t know the exact reason why these camera makers (Sony and Canon) hide the Dual Native ISOs in their Pro Cameras like Canon R6 Mark II or A74, btw the sensor of both the camera uses dual Native ISO circuits, and during HIGH ISO test it’s visible to the Dual Native ISO high gain and low gain circuit working on the backend of the camera. But, in the end, the open Dual Native ISO Menu inside the Panasonic S5 Mark II camera makes it more usable for low-light situations.
6. Timecode | Waveforms | Live LUTS | Vectorscope
These are some essential ingredients for professional cinematographers out there, all these are only available in Panasonic S5 Mark II Camera and not in Canon R6 Mark II.

Panasonic S5 Mark II Body Price is $1997 | Finally, we have the price of the Panasonic S5 mark II camera. And the price of Panasonic S5 Mark IIX is $2197. The only difference between the S5 Mark II and S5X Mark II is
Panasonic S5x Mark II vs S5 Mk II – Major difference
Panasonic S5 Mark II vs Sony A7 IV – We are comparing the two specifications. Panasonic S5 mark II camera features a newly developed 24MP Sensor with Phase detect AF points and support of DFD still there. The Max burst speed of the Panasonic S5 Mark II is 30fps with an electronic shutter and the expandable ISO range is 50-204800. Since, it’s Panasonic’s first full-frame camera so, we are not expecting blazing-fast AF performance like Sony A7 IV, but at least we will get a more accurate and fast AF system compared to its predecessor the Panasonic S5.
The Video part of the Panasonic S5 is more intense? the camera features open gate 6k 29.9 fps @ 4:2:0 10-bit LongGOP and UHD videos @ 29.97p, 200Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit LongGOP) (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, LPCM) and APS-CROP DCI 4k @ 50fps, 200Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit LongGOP) (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, LPCM). So, u have to face an APS-C crop if you want to have a 60fps frame rate in UHD or DCI 4k which is not that impressive. Although if we combine all those features of the cinema part, which include Timecode, XLR Mic input, and an advanced built-in fan to suppress overheating. We will be updating this page soon as we get more information related to S5 Mark II

That’s great news, stay tuned. we will soon publish the detailed core specifications of the upcoming camera.
UPDATE: We can clearly see vents in the leaked image, which shows the upcoming Panasonic S5 Mark II camera uses active cooling technology for loner run.
According to the latest rumors we have from rumor mills the Canon R8 announcement is expected in Feb of 2023. Canon R8 Announcement in February 2023. According to the rumor mill, the camera will feature the same sensor as we have seen in the Canon R10 camera, a 24MP Traditional FSI APS-C CMOS Sensor. No information is available about the core specs of the camera.
Earlier it was rumored that Canon R8 will replace the Canon EOS R with a full-frame sensor and advanced core specification, but am disappointed to see that one more Camera is coming in between R10 and R7 with an APS-C sensor and we already have rumors of Canon R50 and R100 too, so how many RF mount camera Canon wants to add for entry-level users without having proper APS-C RF lens range? as well as the Lens mount is also locked for third party lens makers.
Well, let’s wait and watch.. We will post an update soon as we get any new information related to Canon’s upcoming cameras.,
As you can see Thom hogan uploaded a pic of a Christmas gift on his website Take a look text written in the gift box, it looks like the pre-production model is already in the hands of reviewers around the web. Thom has also writes
A new Z8 with a new Speedlight. With the new lenses. With no mechanical shutter. With some new software updates (note that NX Mobile Air just got a significant one)…..bonus points for performance superlatives, such as 10K raw video or 60 fps raw stills. Deductions for leaving out something, such as pixel-shift capture or higher resolution EVFs.
Not only Nikon Z8, but Thom hogan also writes an entire article on what he is expecting from Nikon in the CES event 2023
CES is Probably Worthwhile if…
…we get a new, useful, interesting camera. I suppose I’d put a Z70, Z6 III, or Z7 III in that category
Well, that’s really exciting news, if we consider all the hints from the images and the text.. then for sure the Nikon Z8 announcement is in the corner and we will see it very soon. Most probably in the CES show. Well, let’s hope for the best.
