In September 2020, Panasonic officially announced the new Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 (Amazon/ B&H/ Adorama). Kevin Carter posted a full sensor reiew at the DxOMark.com. It is Smaller than the Panasonic Lumix DC-S1, but similar.
With a 24.2 MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor, Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 ranks very highly, achieving a total score of 94. Sensor output is at a level similar to the Panasonic Lumix DC-S1, Nikon Z 6 II, and the Sony A7C and A7 III mirrorless models.
| S5 | S1 | A7III | A9II | Z6II | R6 | |
| Total score | 94 | 95 | 96 | 93 | 94 | 90 |
| Color | 25.1 | 25.2 | 25 | 25 | 25 | 24.2 |
| Dynamic range | 14.5 | 14.5 | 14.7 | 14 | 14.4 | 14.3 |
| High ISO | 2697 | 3333 | 3730 | 3434 | 3303 | 3394 |
Below is the conclusion,”Given the smaller and lighter body, not to mention the price difference, the Lumix DC-S5 looks like a highly tempting alternative to Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 for those on a tighter budget. However, while the Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 is a very capable performer, with practically the same output as the excellent Lumix DC-S1, it has slightly higher noise levels and fractionally worse low-light performance. That’s all relative, of course; the Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 is still a superb performer and remains an excellent choice for a wide range of genres…”
