This deal makes me wish I bought the Panasonic S5 instead of the Sony A7 III

Panasonic S5 Prime day deal

Back when I was deciding what full-frame camera to upgrade to from the Fujifilm X-T3 it came down to the Sony A7 III and the Panasonic S5. In the end the Sony won because I preferred how it felt in my hand, it had phase detect autofocus and I had more experience using Sony cameras. But now I shoot more video I kind of wish I'd bought the Panasonic S5 instead as the stabilization is so damn good.

What I'm trying to say is if you want a really good camera setup without spending loads don't sleep on this Prime Day Deal. It might have been superseded by he Panasonic S5 II and Panasonic S5 IIX but it's still an excellent camera and at the minute, during Amazon's Prime Day sale, the price is unbeatable. With contrast-detect autofocus, built-in V-Log (previously you had to shell out $150 to get it added to the S1 and S1H), and 5 stops of incredibly smooth image stabilization you also get one decent and one very good lens.
