LUMIX S1H

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

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

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've been waiting for the S1H successor for far too long. However, I agree that Panasonic really needs to nail this release—and since that isn't easy, it's worth waiting for it to be perfect. ​I guess I'll end up buying the FX5, even though I hate Sony. But that means replacing all my gear, too; I d

Poor h265 performance is what has kept me from upgrading from an S1/S1H combo. I'm not sure why Panasonic won't address this in firmware with a -1 sharpness setting.

Internal ND can be implemented in a number of ways, none of them are exceptionally expensive. The traditional method is a rotating ring of filters. It's inexpensive, but can require a larger housing. The newer methods use electronic screens that cut light. This is not new technology, it's been aroun

At this point, truly wonder if there even will be an S1H mark 2. Wouldn't be shocked if Panasonic sold off Lumix.

I'm sure it's improved on those bodies but I had another issue with Lumix that made me lose faith in them -at the time I had the S1H (from release in 2019 until late 2021) the camera firmware was plagued with corrupt .mdt files that Panasonic kept blaming users for, for using non-Panasonic branded V

Kolari Vision has two options now. They have an OLPF conversion service. They also just announced a magnetic clip in OLPF that will be available soon (they already sell other clip iin filters for Panasonic). If you search "Hopkins Films" youtube channel for "olpf" there are several videos on the Kol

I know this ups the price a lot, but I am debating between an S1H and the S5iix at the moment as well... https://kolarivision.com/product/olpf-aa-filter-upgrade-for-panasonic-lumix-s1-and-s5-cameras/ ETA: I wouldn't recommend the S1H to somebody who relies on autofocus.
