Amazon.fr is offering the S5D (new/old camera) + the new 18-40mm kit lens for 1129 euros. That's not that bed of a deal for new camera (not used) with a full 3 year warranty. Maybe even better is the same camera with the 28-200mm for 1699 euros here: https://www.digixo.com/appareil-photo-hybrides/panasonic/p398960-panasonic-lumix-s5d-28-200mm-dc-s5dhe-k.html

Stunning. I’m happy for the new announcement because the video specs didn’t change enough for me to care and that means a $3k A1mk1 is in my near future. I fell in love with the footage shown at the link below. There’s a trick people discovered about sending out 8k to a Ninja recorder but recording in 4.2k Gerald Undone discusses it at length on one of his A1 update videos. it gives you the best possible image out of the camera I guess.

The price of entry may be higher than Canon and Nikon mirrorless, but the image quality is undeniable. That is a world-class sensor that shares tech with the 8K Venice and Burano. Coming from Canon, there is also the issue of third-party lenses, where Sony has a huge advantage that balances out the higher initial price point. In terms of the "subsampling," this is 4K/50 from the A1 and it looks incredibly detailed for what it is: Here is the A1 in 4K/120 (HVEC 200Mbps 4:2:2 10 Bit): I'm just amazed at what Sony achieves in this little camera and its highly efficient/compressed codecs.

I found this video to be a breath of fresh air.....
