96MP handheld on the s5iix. This camera is truly OP

It is impressive how Panasonic can do this handheld, even on the S1R II, and everyone else bar Olympus/OM System can't even merge tripod pixel shift photos in-camera.

"Lumix AF Isn't Good Enough for Sports/Action/Wildlife!" An Experiment. || Lumix S1RII + Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8

Great video article and real pictures that back up your statement. I'd say this article is more valid than most affiliate so called gear reviewers out there who didn't even shoot any real events, maybe at best a couple hundred shots in the local park. To answer your question, I am not sure why that

Cameras with Sony Sensors

From what I understand, the 24mp (SL, Q1, M10, M240) and the 61mp (Q3, Q343, SL3, M11) are the same as the sensors in the A7 series. I don't know about the SL2S or the TL or the CL. The Q2 and SL2 are using something developed in collaboration with Panasonic (it's in the S1R too) The M10r has a one

I feel reluctant to buy more L mount glass

The honest answer is…the z8 and z9 are better cameras for the wildlife purpose. Albeit they are very large. My S5ii and Sigma 150-600 came to around 2.5k..that’s less than one Nikon Z8. So I’d expect it to be the better camera. The sigma 150-600 is a nice lens, the autofocus is slow though. The zoom

S1R owners in 2026, how’s it holding up?

Having owned the S1R and now the S1Rii, the original was a much nicer built camera, with great design touches, I much prefer it from a handling perspective. (I miss the top screen!!) But the S1R’s autofocus is pretty crap, if you’re doing static portraits and landscape work it’s fine but good luck d

Camera for scanning hi-res 120

So I’ve scanned 120 with three cameras, a Panasonic S5II, a Sigma FP L (same sensor as A7RV), and a Leica SL2. If I’m brutally honest with you, the A7RV isn’t overkill..in fact…it is not enough to properly reproduce grain for massive prints. You want a Lumix S1R in high-res mode. (It is the same as

Switching from the Lumix S1II E to the Lumix S1RII for a mixed pro workflow (60% photo, 40% video — interviews, event coverage)?

Went round the houses and for a pro do it all camera you can't beat Lumix s1ii for value and performance. I think people get sucked in by the colour fidelity of the S1r ii but actually have some real world problems like slower AF + battery life. Feedback from one pro says strictly a studio or creato

1100 dollars Zeiss Lens worth it?

I swear by these Zeiss ZE lenses, I have a good set with: 15mm, 21mm, 35mm, 50mm Planar 1.4, 50mm Makro-Planar and 100mm which are by far the best ones of the range. These haven’t been updated on the Milvus range (apart from 50mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.4). I have the Sigma adapter and I use it with Panasoni

A7V released - 33MP partially stacked, 7.5 stop IBIS, new processor, $2900 USD - available for preorder

Good points. On the one hand, it's like they're making these cameras for YouTubers who also do photography, and that's obviously a tiny market. On the other hand, many people try to get into that world, and it's not too hard to make a good hybrid these days. That said, I agree that the specialty vid

Old Sony Users Who Switched To Panasonic; Any Regrets?

Over the past eight years, I’ve shot professionally with Sony cameras. I’ve used the a7III, a7IV, a7R V, and the FX3. They’re solid tools, no doubt about it. When Panasonic released the original Lumix S1, I decided to try it out of curiosity. I loved a lot about the camera, but the autofocus perform
