sorted byFor burst photos, I just pic a focus point and hope
It's autofocus is behind Sony/Canon/Nikon's best but this is substantially cheaper. Video AF isn't amazing, stills is pretty decent unless trying to track fast moving things. The EVF on the S5 is on the lower resolution side. Both of these are fixed in the S5 mk II but that's alot more expensive.
Also cannot be understated how sharp images you'll get handheld thanks to ibis (edited)

A number of things I have considered: I want a full frame for low light but also don't want it to be heavy when I bring it outside. Easy enough to use so the mistress can use it too. Reasonably good continuous AF is needed too. I seriously considered the OM-D EM5 but noise from the small sensor and bad AF is going to be a problem.
But the s5 will obviously be better. The s5 is on the smaller side of full frame, but you’ll find you’ll need a bag for it still.
If I have it hanging around my neck for too long, it does begin to weigh a bit.
I do have the EM5 iii and S5 if you’d like a comparison
Autofocus on my Panasonic GX80 is fast and reliable for photo never ever had a problem…
Video though is a different story and I ALWAYS shoot in manual focus. If you tend to capture anything with fast movement like taking videos of the little ones it’s impossible, unless you’re extremely talented with the focus ring in manual.
If your budget can expand to the S5 do it it’s a professional grade camera and you’ll pay the price tag for it.
For everyday photography and videography as a hobby I found it extremely difficult to justify at the price….
As Dave said G9 is a hugely competent camera with very good photo and video options and it can be picked up for around £500 body only….if I was doing M43 again I’d have gone for this over my GX80.
If you can get over the sensor it’s feature packed; IBIS being at the top of the list along with 4K 50FPS video.
Plus the lens’ for M43 are a lot cheaper then for L mount on the S5. Equivalent focal length for example: M43 to L mount can be double or even triple the price so that’s something to factor in.
If you’re not into M43 I’d also take a look at the Fujifilm XT line of cameras with APS-C sensor. You’ll pay more money for the specs and the sensor plus the lens’ though…. Plenty to consider!
Let me know if you have anymore questions!
For photos however this would be fine. Although I find it does still miss focus at times for the eye. And with kids having a mobile is priceless as you need to be ready to shoot to capture that moment
Currently on a G9 and this seems like a great time to get started on the L mount. (edited)
