Panasonic - Lumix S5 II vs Sony - α6700

These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (46 vs 47.6). The decision isn't about overall quality — both clear the bar — it's about which specific trade-offs fit your use.

Pick the Lumix S5 II if you care most about af points and sensor size. The biggest gaps in its favor are af points, sensor size, max video.

Pick the α6700 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are weight, megapixels.

Both ship with comparable in-body stabilization, log profile, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
