PANASONIC LUMIX S5 II WITH 20-60MM AND 50MM TWIN LENS KIT SUMMARY
Arriving from Panasonic with key performance upgrades inside and out, the Panasonic Lumix S5 II with 20-60mm and 50mm Twin Lens Kit offers content creators a versatile kit from the outset. The two lenses offer distinct advantages, with a versatile variable aperture compact zoom and a fast 9-bladed wide aperture prime. These are capable of capturing everything from huge landscapes and street photography, to intimate portraits and general shooting, while both excel for video recording, thanks to fast AF and silent operation.
