Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Panasonic S5 is 26g lighter than the Panasonic S5 II but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Panasonic S5 and Panasonic S5 II have the same Leica L lens mount and Full frame sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
