      Photography Features

      Fujifilm X-T3 is equipped with X-Processor 4 processor and can take pictures up to 6240 x 4160 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 4416 x 2944, 3120 x 2080 with 1:1, 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios. Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 is equipped with Venus Engine processor and can take pictures up to 6000 x 4000 resolution.


      Lens Mount

      Fujifilm X-T3 has Fujifilm X lens mount and Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 has Leica L lens mount. Due to APS-C sensor in Fujifilm X-T3 its crop factor is equal to 1.5x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 1.5. Due to Full Frame sensor in Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 its crop factor is equal to 1x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length.


      No Low-Pass Filter

      There is no optical low-pass filter (OLPF), also known as an anti-aliasing filter, in front of the sensor on either of the cameras. This results in a slightly sharper image but may also introduce moiré patterns and aliasing artifacts when photographing subjects with fine, repetitive patterns or details.


      In-Body Image Stabilization on Panasonic Lumix DC-S5

      Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 has a built-in 5-Axis Sensor Shift in-body image stabilization (IBIS) with 6.5 stops of compensation.
