Lumix S5 II vs Sony A7 IV

The 5 Main Differences

Curious to discover the five most important differences between the Panasonic S5 II and Sony A7 IV? Let's take a look!

1. SENSOR The S5 II has 24.2MP, while the A7 IV takes it up a notch with 33MP. Dynamic range is impressive on both cameras, but the S5 produces less noise as you increase the ISO.

2. HRS MODE The S5 II has a 96MP High-Resolution Mode that offers an incredible amount of detail, while also eliminating moiré. It works better when there are no movements in the scene.

3. AUTOFOCUS Phase detection AF has put Panasonic back on track, but the A7 IV performs better, especially when using subject detection and Eye AF (for humans and animals).

4. DRIVE The S5 II can shoot up to 9.7fps, or 30fps when switching to the electronic shutter, but rolling shutter is severe. On the other hand, the A7 IV can record at 10fps max.

5. VIDEO  The S5 II records 6K up to 30p in open gate mode, and 5.9K in 16:9. The A7 IV doesn’t go beyond 4K. They both record 4K 60p with an APS-C crop, and work in 10-bit 4:2:2 internally.
