sony A73 vs Panasonic S5

[alexo]

hey, which set should I buy?
I want stabilized video but also take good photos.
I have looked at Panasonic s5 but the lenses are very expensive.
How much better is the stabilzation on Panasonic s5 against Sony a73,
also is it worth having 4k 60fps when it crops in that much on the Panasonic? If you have Panasonic, do you use 60fps much?

I also have a Dji ronin sc, Will panasonic s5 with kit lens work with this?

Is it possible to take astrophotography with the panasonic kit lens (20-60mm)?

which one is best for me?

Panasonic S5
Panasonic 20-60mm f/3,5-5,6

or

Sony a7 III
Tamron 17-28mm f2.8
Tamron 28-70mm f2.8

The problem with the lack of replies may be that few people here may have tried the S5. There are several A7 III users though.

For astrophotography the tamron lens is definitely better. The 20-60mm is pretty cool but it's a slow kit lens it can't compete with two f2.8 zooms.
For video as long as you don't use AF S5 is better.
If you want to use AF A7III is better placed.

Just because of the lenses and AF I'd pick Sony. And I don't mean just immediately, Sony has many options to expand into in the future in terms of lenses and AF on later bodies is even better than the already excellent A7III. While S5 also improved on AF the CDAF isn't great for tracking or in video. There is no signs of Panasonic going PDAF or their lens selection being on the level of e-mount any time soon.

Exactly this.
