FULL STORY ======================================================================

Budding portrait photographers take note - the awesome Panasonic Lumix S5II
is on sale at Amazon today with the lavish S Series 85mm lens for just $1,797.99 (was $2,599).

The camera alone retailed for $2,000 at launch just over a year ago, so not only are you getting yourself a nice $200 discount on the body itself with this deal, but you're also essentially getting a free lens to boot.

And it's not just some basic kit lens either - this is a premium Panasonic 85mm S-Series lens that's likely going to stay in your stable long after you've upgraded the camera itself. At 85mm, it's arguably a little too close for an everyday lens, but it's great for portraits or work where you'd appreciate some distance from the subject.

Note, if you'd like to get a more versatile lens as well, then you can add in the 85mm on top of the existing 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 lens kit for $2,097 (was $2,899) , which again essentially means you get a massive $800 saving
overall. Panasonic Lumix S5 II deal at Amazon

Our Panasonic Lumix S5 II review awarded this excellent full-frame camera a full five stars out of five when we tested it last year. There's not much to elaborate on here - the S5 II is an outstandingly good hybrid camera that's especially good if you lean towards video.

Highlight features for the S5 II include a new 24MP full-frame sensorwith phase detection AF (a first for Panasonic), uncropped 6K / 30p video, and superb image stabilization. We were also impressed by the S5 II's rugged
build quality and overall well-thought-out ergonomics, which is obviously handy when pairing up with some of the larger lenses available in the L-Mount ecosystem.

Compared to its rivals, the S5 II is coming in at a much more reasonable budget with this deal at Amazon, too. The Sony Alpha 7 IV, for example, sits at a whopping $2,499 for just the body only at Amazon right now, which makes the S5 II an absolute steal in comparison.
