Loading ...Compeitition rumors: Panasonic S5II might be announced soon and feature a new Lidar autofocus tech?
In a world made of small improvements it’s rare to see some real new innovation. And this might be one: Panasonic could announce the new S5II on January 4th. And this camera might feature a brand new Lidar autofocus tech (wild rumor!). I have no clue why this AF system should be better than current phase detection systems. But it will be very interesting to see how it works!

Sony A7rV reviews by Amateur Photographer and Imaging Resource
Amateur Photographer concluded:
Overall, if your needs are tilted more towards image quality than outright speed, it’s difficult to argue against the Sony Alpha 7R V being the best full-frame stills camera available. However, it’s undeniably very expensive, commanding a serious premium over the likes of the Sony A7R IV and Nikon Z 7II. Likewise, if you’re not ideologically wedded to full-frame, you can get a significant fraction of the capability at a much lower price from the Fujifilm X-H2 or X-T5. But if you can justify the A7R V’s price, you’ll be blown away by just how good it is.
Imaging Resource concluded:
If I stop knocking the A7R V for what it isn’t and instead focus on what it is, then it’s clear to see that it’s an excellent camera. The Sony A7R V is not quite the versatile do-it-all beast that the Sony A1 is, but it’s a lot more useful across a wider range of situations than its predecessor.
