If you’re looking for a hybrid, then none of those. I use the s5ii and s5iix at work. I don’t own those cameras (at home I have a c70 and r6 mkiii) so hopefully that eliminates any fanboy/shill accusations. I specifically chose for us to invest in the Lumix S series because the work I do is everythi

I got the Varicam LT in 2017, I was and still am primarily doing client work, but I also do indie narrative projects whenever I can. While I've used/rented Sony FX6/9 and minis when a client requested, I absolutely still use the LT if it's up to me and in 2025 I shot a feature as well as a pilot on

And S1H did not sell as well as people who keep asking for a Mark II would like to think. Lumix does listen, to its community AND its balance sheet. Panasonic is going to release what makes sense for them. They could have easily called the S1II the S1HII and just left S1II E as S1II. There's a reaso

Lumix shooter here, eagerly awaiting an S1HII. I think it is absolutely RIDICULOUS that Panasonic will not confirm any meaningful information about their cameras - even vaguely - or explicitly confirm the development of an S1H successor. Cameras are only announced when they are imminently being rele

I think the S1-II is a very good camera but it is not reliable enough for professional work when the camera has to run over a longer time, probably in hot weather and in direct sunlight. Lumix has to bring out the S1H-II that is better designed for this kind of work. Most people don't need this but

Some people are pointing to the dual gain output in Dynamic Range Boost mode, but that’s not it. Even with that disabled, the S1II has a good stop or so on the Z6III. I’m not an expert, but I believe this comes down to two things. S1II is taking longer to read the sensor. I’ve heard the S1II uses a

Funny. I was thinking of going from my Panasonic S1h to a Red Komodo. I asked in the Red Komodo facebook group. Every response was "don't bother"

I think Andrew went from healthy scepticism to bitter dommerism some time ago. He seems to think of himself as some sort of a scorned LUMIX fan. As for the substance of his blog piece - LPS has been phased out for years in Europe so no, it's not an unusual move. can you imagine Nikon ending NPS or C

I support you appreciation. What Panasonic offered with its range of S1 FF cameras was outstanding. But as far as I remember ….. you miss a decade 🤪 The original Panasonic LUMIX S1H was announced for a fall 2019 release and was officially launched in the market around that time. The announcement its

Yeah! I don’t think I’ll upgrade from the S1H anytime soon unless Panasonic releases the S2H or an EVA1 successor. Hahaha
