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

Camera Question
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

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

This weekend marks the 6 year anniversary of the launch of the Lumix S1H
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

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.

Some of my work with the S1H, Coming from the GH5, I love this old beast!
Yeah! I don’t think I’ll upgrade from the S1H anytime soon unless Panasonic releases the S2H or an EVA1 successor. Hahaha

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
