LUMIX S1II

Nice. Thanks for posting this. As always, there is 0 information on the German Panasonic website. Compatible with S1RII, S1II and S1IIE as of February 2026. I hope they will add the older models as well - via a firmware update. That would be nice. Edit: YouTube reviews are out. I watched these two.

The cheap camera will be something useless that no one cares about. I have a theory that the more expensive camera could be the small modern MFT camera everyone wants. A few YouTubers I follow have been mysteriously pimping out MFT all of a sudden. Being given GH7 by Panasonic to “test” out of nowhe

Panasonic says: "Panasonic have finally developed their best high-end model for photo and video: the S1 II. After six years, we have finally reached our goal." I don't think this response has any bearing to the potential S1Hii. In fact, S1H isn't mentioned in that PhotoTrend interview at all. They a

By all accounts you can get a more organic image by shooting Pro-Res and Raw formats, but these come with huge file sizes. H264 and H265 file sizes are so much more reasonable for so many workflows - and I have also noticed the difference going from an S1 / S1H to an S5II. Up-voting this because its

The funny thing is you can likely reduce the colour difference between the two profiles even further. The way you'd do this is through the RGB mixer in Resolve (the tab before Noise Reduction) but in linear gamma. Part of the 'colour science' is a choice by the manufacturer on what values they use t

That’s just so wild. $300 more for literally double the speed with the S1II. And somehow Panasonic isn’t taken seriously for photography.

Bought the $1600 24-70 f/2.8. However, it wouldn’t go below 26mm, or past 68mm. Sent it to Panasonic, they sent me a brand new one. Super easy. Now, their new S1ii series cameras have a 5 year warranty. I think that shows a lot of confidence in their product, and after such a fantastic experience qu

Not sure if my opinion is of any value to you, but I'm a former S5II owner. I took advantage of Panasonic LUMIX's trade-in trade-up promotion, which provided me a $400 discount on the purchase of the new S series camera and I received ~$850 in value for my S5II (varies depending on condition, mine w

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

In no particular order: Panasonic S1ii Nikon Z8 or ZR Sony A7v Canon R6iii Read the reviews, watch the videos and hold them in your hand and check out the menus. Any of them would do a great job. But there isn't one perfect camera: some have open gate, some have RAW, some have higher frame rates, yo
