Smart Photography|February 2023
Panasonic has announced two new hybrid full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Lumix S5II and S5IIX, at the recently concluded Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at Las Vegas. The company also unveiled the Lumix S 14-28mm f/4-5.6 Macro lens for L-mount.
CES: Panasonic Unveils Lumix S5II, Ultra-wide Lens

The Lumix S5II and S5IIX are the first Lumix mirrorless cameras to utilise Phase Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF) thanks to a newly developed 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor and a new imaging engine. Developed under the L2 Technology alliance formed by LEICA and Lumix last year, the new imaging engine provides high resolution, natural description, and approximately 2x higher-speed signal procession for high bit-rate video recording. To further the cameras' PDAF capabilities and make them more dependable, Panasonic evolved the autofocus system into Phase Hybrid AutoFocus by increasing the AF points to 779 to significantly improve subject tracking.
