Verifier corrected priceUsd from $1997 to official Panasonic launch MSRP $1999.99 (announced CES January 2023, US shipping ~Feb/March 2023); $1997.99 seen at some dealers. Panasonic global spec page returned 404 at time of access. The corroborating page this record cited (https://panasonic.net/cns/sav/products/lumix/s5m2/spec.html) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it returned 404, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. This record therefore no longer claims an independent second witness for its figures. The page the figures were read from, digitalcameraworld.com, still answers.
