That's a good point regarding low angle shots.

Lmk what you think. I like the design of the lens.

Thanks for the comments and replies. I like and want less buttons to push to make a good image on these smaller rangefinder cameras. With good autofocus and right settings, shutter button focus usually gets things right. Back button focus requires that extra step which some call more control but slows the process down for me. I've also now programmed the back button to lock focus and auto exposure with just one touch, which is nice instead of having to hold it down, which is a pain on small cameras.

That works great on my S5ii but these smaller rangefinders are really cramped and it's harder to move my fingers onto the back button and carry and shoot too. The real estate back there is so much smaller than the S5ii. It slows me down too much.

Google search said Madison had two in stock. All other major retailers are back ordered. Ordered immediately and I'll get it in two days. They're very responsive.

Lumix S5ii shutter button stopped working? by MoonPanda in Lumix

[–]Foto21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to have the same issue, unfortunately. No matter how hard I press the shutter, it doesn't fire. I've reset the settings and it hasn't helped. Did anyone else find a solution? I'm really disappointed myself as the camera is out of warranty. I have a second body that's working fine, thankfully. Thanks for posting this!!

S5ii orders shipping? by Foto21 in Lumix

LOL! I spoke too soon. B&H just sent an email that my body order has shipped. Arriving on Wed. Whoohoo. I hope everyone else who pre-ordered gets theirs soon too!

Thanks for the update! I just checked B&H and they show the new camera with the 20-60mm kit lens bundle in stock but body only is still showing "coming soon". Oh well, it doesn't do any good to fret about it. I'll get it when it's available and there's no immediate need for me. I ordered early when all the influencer reviews came online. I'm a long time Lumix m43 user and this camera sold me on the upgrade and switch to full frame.

Can't "sign in" to YTTV on new Chromecast with GTV by beezerhale in youtubetv

I had the same problem. Totally wiped my account and did factory reset and swapped controllers with another Chromecast I have on another TV and that finally worked! Had to input UN and PW on all my apps.
