Slow burst, but sealed full frame with IBIS and two slots for little money.
Tiny full frame with no viewfinder and in-camera colour looks (LUTs). Great for creators.
Superb video and stabilisation. Its contrast AF is slower than the S5 II's for moving subjects.
Canon LP-E6NH
Canon's long-running full-frame/enthusiast battery. Older LP-E6N and LP-E6 also fit most bodies, with reduced performance on some. Third-party: SmallRig USB-C version £31.90. Carry at least one spare.
SD (UHS-II)
A V30 UHS-I card is enough for stills; a V60 UHS-II card clears bursts faster.
