Pros

This camera is so good thatiso 12800 (vlog) is sightly better than iso 12800 on the sony a7siii (slog3) great size, lightweight and nice color. Perfect for on-the-go & handheld footage as it has ibis and its also very lightweight.

Autofocus, color science and stabilization are unmatched. The auto focus is also insane! The open gate is amazing and the stabilization and autofocus are second to none. And the auto fucus capabilities in both video and photo are very quick and make l... Read More

The s5ii is one of the best full frame hybrid cameras in its price range, especially for video. It is on par with the other higher priced cameras. Also the size and form factor make it an easy and incospicuous camera to operate.

Cons

Canon was dragging their feet to compete. Silkypix developer studio is horrendous and buggy. It's really frustrating.

The quality of the camera is undeniable, you can feel while handling and i’m really impressed with the image stabilization even handheld.

I have used sony garbage for the past five years and believe me when i say this, this camera really made me feel like i was using garbage!

That’s not even the half of it - this camera is beyond greatness for any content creator out there.

Price

For the price of an a7iv body, i was able to get a s5ii with the 20-60 lens and the 50mm 1.

Best hybrid camera under $3000, nothing even comes close.

8 primes cost and similar size and weight

It’s easy to use and for the price i don’t think there is anything out there that can be all that it comes with!

Competitiveness

So the i'm quality is better than the sony a7siii.

So glad i was able to sell my aging s1h, as this does true 24fps also, and the 6k raw is amazing, with better options than my s1h.

If you've ever held another certain brand you'll know how boxy they feel.

And these days there is no difference between all-i vs longgop compression.
