Panasonic LUMIX S5 II

The Panasonic LUMIX S5 II is my runner-up and one of the best picks if video is your priority. You get a full-frame sensor, internal 10-bit 4:2:2 recording, and excellent IBIS for handheld shooting without living on a gimbal. The big upgrade over the original S5 is the phase-detection autofocus, which is quicker and smoother for real-world video work.
