Panasonic Lumix S5 II deal status right now
Dealers don’t agree. B&H’s S5 II body page lists $1,997.99, the regular price, with no crossed-out sale when we opened it. Adorama lists the same body at $1,597.99, which is $400 off that $1,997.99. Last Black Friday at B&H was $1,497.99, per our Panasonic guide. Panasonic hasn’t published 2026 holiday dates. Last year the deals were live at B&H by November 8.
Adorama’s $1,597.99 is $100 above last Black Friday. B&H’s $1,997.99 is full price. Compare the live listings before you buy, and don’t treat $1,597.99 as the holiday price.

B&H body page and Adorama product page, both opened October 28, 2026. Last Black Friday is from our Panasonic guide. A 20-60mm bundle is a different product. Price Drop Catch had that bundle at $2,297.99 on October 28, up from $1,797.99 on October 15, so don’t use the kit history as the body price.

Lumix Rumors and Photo Rumors have both written about a November Panasonic announcement. Neither says it’s an S5 II replacement. Don’t hold this camera for that rumor. Our Panasonic guide says the same.
Who should buy the S5 II
Good fit

- You already own L-mount lenses.
Look elsewhere
- B&H is the only listing you checked, and it’s $1,997.99. Open Adorama and Amazon first.
