Panasonic has finally announced the Lumix S5D, the camera is actually a true successor or modified version of the original Panny S5. The camera retains the same 24.2MP sensor as the Panasonic S5, paired with the DFD (Depth from Defocus) contrast-detect autofocus system. This means the autofocus performance will remain slower and sluggish, aka less accurate than systems featuring phase-detect autofocus, unlike in the S5 II or S5 IIx models, where they have used the latest PHASE AF SENSORS.
Panasonic’s decision not to upgrade to a phase-detect autofocus system was likely to keep the price lower. To counter this, the S5D is compatible with DJI’s LiDAR system, which allows the latest Panny S5 camera to achieve faster and more precise autofocus. However, to use this feature, you must mount the camera on a DJI RS3 Pro or RS4 Pro stabilizer via a USB connection. Btw, with a little more effort and manul settings, u can use LiDAR even in Panasonic S5.
When considering the cost of adding a DJI RS3 Pro or RS4 Pro to this setup, it might be more practical to invest in the S5 II or S5 IIx, which already come with advanced autofocus systems built-in. The S5D feels more like a refresh of an older model, perhaps aimed at boosting sales of DJI stabilizers rather than offering groundbreaking improvements.

Panasonic S5D Press Release
Panasonic Unveils the Lumix S5D: A Powerhouse for Photographers and Videographers
October 8, 2024 – TheNewCamera.com
Panasonic has just introduced the latest addition to its full-frame mirrorless camera lineup, the Lumix S5D. Designed to cater to both photography enthusiasts and professional videographers, the S5D maintains the best features of its predecessor while adding some important upgrades.
The S5D comes equipped with a 24.2MP full-frame sensor—the same as the original S5—offering Dual Native ISO technology. This allows for better performance in low-light conditions, along with the ability to capture stunning detail and dynamic range with over 14 stops. The maximum ISO of 51,200 ensures the camera can handle even the toughest lighting conditions.
For advanced video creators, the recently announced Panasonic S5D supports 4K 60p/50p 4:2:0 10-bit internal recording, with 5.9K external recording option when paired with an Atomos recorder. This specific feature makes it ideal for hybrid shooters needing high-quality output for photos and videos or even pro cinematographer can opt it. Built-in Stabilization is also a standout feature, we have the same 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) as we have seen in S5 II, which can work in rythm with compatible lenses to provide up to 6.5 stops of shake reduction.
Panasonic will offer two different kit options for the Pannsonic S5D at launch: a kit with the newly announced 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3 lens, and another with the versatile 28-200mm f/4-7.1 zoom lens. Prices for the kits will start at €1599, making the S5D an attractive option for creators looking to enter the full-frame market without breaking the bank.
Expect availability by the end of October 2024. As always, stay tuned for more updates right here at TheNewCamera.com!

Key Differences between the new Panasonic S5D and the Panasonic S5:
- The first noticeable advantage in the body is the Panasonic S5D has a slightly larger LCD screen (3.2 inches vs. 3.0 inches on the S5).
- Burst speed or Continuous shooting speed with both the mechanical and electronic shutters is lower on the S5D (5 fps) compared to the original S5 (7 fps). So we don’t know the exact reason why Panasonic decided to keep it slow in the new model.
- The New Panasonic S5D offers compatibility with DJI’s LiDAR system for improved autofocus when paired with a stabilizer like the DJI RS3 Pro, which is not an official feature on the original S5, but yes you can use it if you wish to.
- Video recording capabilities are similar as Panny original S5, but the S5D now officially supports slow-motion Full HD at 180p.
Overall, the Panasonic S5D is almost a copy of the original S5, with subtle updates like LiDAR compatibility and a slightly larger screen, though it retains the same sensor and processor.
TNC Take – I was expecting a proper announcement from Panasonic but its an just an refresh which can be done with a firmware update too, even with the older Panasonic S5 bodies.
