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.

Canon R5C Mark II Early specifications surfaced over the web, there is a high probability these specs are of one of the EARLY PROTOTYPE of the upcoming camera, in genral a camera maker tests several prototypes of a high-end camera before the finalize the production line version. Take a look at the set of specs, of the upcoming Canon R5C Mark II camera
Canon R5C Mark II Rumored Specification
- Dual System Design with Active Cooling:
The Canon R5C Mark II will continue the “dual system” setup as we have seen in the original Canon R5C, where the camera can function as both a high-performance stills camera (like the R5) and a cinema camera (for video production). The mention of a “square, thickened active cooling body” indicates that the upcoming R5C II will have an enhanced thermal management system, likely allowing uninterrupted recording in every ALL available resolution of the camera.
- Introduction of SDI Interface: Now, that’s the most important part of the rumored specs we have read so far, the Canon R5C Mark II upcoming camera will use or have an SDI port. Again as per the source, the camera maker may swipe the HDMI in favour of SDI, or they may keep both as an option to the user. SDI is typically more reliable and provides better signal quality over longer distances, which is a common requirement in professional video setups.
- The 4K RAW Video Changes: No lower quality 4K SRAW (which was a lower-resolution form of RAW), but instead will feature a higher-resolution format: 4096×4320 pixels. This is a sub-pixel merging technique, which effectively produces a more detailed “native” 4K output by using higher-resolution data and downsampling it intelligently. This likely improves image quality in terms of sharpness and color accuracy.
- The 4K/24-60p YUV Video: Introduction of Custom Sensor READOUT speed pattern as per user requirement
The R5C II offers a YUV video format in 4K resolution, with two modes:
- High-Quality Mode (8192×4320 Sampling): Here, the camera samples from an 8K resolution (8192×4320) to produce a very detailed 4K output.
- High-Speed Mode (4096×4320 Sampling): This mode uses 4K footage but samples it horizontally rather than vertically. This adjustment could be aimed at optimizing performance while maintaining good color depth and resolution in YUV422 format (commonly used in professional video work).
Overall, if we look at the rumored set of core specifications, the Canon R5 Mark II camera features enhanced core specifications compared to the original Canon R5C, especially in terms of resolution and video output options.

 Fuji’s next full-frame compact can become a spiritual successor of the Sony RX1R camera According to the latest rumors, Fuji will introduce a new sensor size. The Fuji rumor mill very clearly writes it, they are talking about a new sensor size. After that post, many speculations started, but the most trusted rumor mill right now, Sony Alpha Rumor, believes that Fuji will announce a full-frame camera. The big reason behind this is the popularity of the Fuji X-100 VI camera. Now, they want to move further and expand the consumer base of compact mirrorless lovers by introducing a full-frame compact mirrorless camera.
Since this very moment, we don’t know what exactly is coming in the next, It may not be an interchangeable-lens mirrorless camera, as none of Fuji’s lenses are compatible with full-frame cameras. But again, there is a huge scope for a compact FF camera.

The other piece of information we received a few days ago, and published on our website, is that if Fuji adopts EXR technology instead of X-TRANS in their existing sensors, there is a huge potential to approximately double the resolution and enable single-click HDR capture with their existing sensors, just by taking out the color filter array as they did with the EXR sensor-based cameras in the past. That’s the news we received from a Chinese source, indicating they may alter the sensor’s color filter array shortly to upscale the existing APS-C technology. So, that’s another set of information to consider when talking about the arrival of a brand-new sensor, unless they rework the existing color filter technology in their cameras.
