Upgrading camera for freelance video work: FX3, Nikon ZR, or stretch for the new FX5?

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

Any thoughts about the “next” Lumix S1H II ? Worth the wait ?

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

Why doesn't the Nikon Z6III match the Panasonic S1II dynamic range

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

FX5

S1ii and s5iix both better than the fx3 imo. Only thing the sony has better is autofocus. If Sony drops a fx6 mark ii I’ll buy that. Besides that it’s just hype. Most cameras are pretty much the same. I’ve shot against fx3 and fx6 with S1H and S1ii and the Panasonics look better right out the camera

Lumix S5 w/ 20-60mm (£580 kit) vs S5 II — Is video image quality actually different, or is it just the autofocus?

Yes, the original s5 has better image quality. The reason Panasonic kept going for contrast based af is because they didn’t want the compromises in iq when using phase detect. The s1h has the same sensor. It is still the best image i think, especially the 12 bit raw.

S9 Owners (or critics): How Much More Would You Have Paid for EVF, Mechanical Shutter, and Hot Shoe?

The S9 feels like Panasonic’s shot at Fuji’s X100 VI, with a touch of Leica in its design. It is clearly aimed at people who are new to the Panasonic S line, at travelers who want something light, at street photographers who need discretion, and at influencers who want portability without losing qua

Any thoughts about the “next” Lumix S1H II ? Worth the wait ?

I suspect they are waiting for the right sensor to become available. People like to rattle off specs, but if there’s no sensor out there on the market capable of it, Panasonic cannot make the camera. They need Sony to produce a sensor for them, and I’m not sure there’s a good option right now. I mea

There should be a more active videographycirclejerk sub

I went from the Gh5 to the S1H II and have loved it. I kept my Gh5 and glass for crash camera stuff now. I don’t think you can go wrong with staying with GH series or moving to full frame in the Panasonic line. I will say my photo taking experience on my S1H II has far surpassed anything i’ve taken

The dilemma of choosing Lumix S9 or Sony A7c/A7cii for photographs and video

Not sure how you think the S9 has better low light performance than the other two. They're all in the same ballpark. Don't buy into the myth about megapixels. A 61MP FF is better than a 12 MP in low light when it comes to photos. https://youtu.be/gAYXFwBsKQ0?si=eN7HTxr5Hg-0xKN6 Same with video. High

Would you still choose Lumix if starting today?

I have both Sony and Lumix setups. Long term I'm going to invest in L mount. I am primarily a video shooter. Blackmagic going with L mount is what made me decide that L mount was way to go. In addition Sigma lenses are native on L mount vs third party on Sony. So you can use teleconverters on sigma
