LUMIX S1II

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

I can only speak to full frame. If you don't need the ABSOLUTE best in autofocus, and want to avoid breaking the bank, the Panasonic S5IIX does absolutely everything well. One step up in price will give you a big step up in performance to the Panasonic S1II. Another step up in price will give you an

if you are mainly looking to shoot video, the s1ii is the clear best choice. for photography s1rii has higher resolution and better evf while a7V has better af, less rolling shutter and slightly better dynamic range. if you are going to shoot photos as much as video, the a7V might be the best option

There aren’t really any rumors about an FX3ii yet. I used a GH5/GH5s for years until 2021 when I got an A7siii due to the autofocus and low light ability. If Panasonic had come out with something with decent autofocus at that point I would probably still be with them. Though that being said I own 2x

Hi, first of all I'd like to point out that based on your description in your post you can't go wrong with either of these great 2nd generation LUMIX cameras. If I may I'd like to share with you why we chose the S1 II over the S1R II. We tested the S1R II for a couple of months side by side to the S

I’ve shot in the XH2S throughout a few firmware updates and own the S1II and S1IIE. Fuji struggled a lot and a while with mediocre autofocus. Which made sense because they were more focussed on photography over video. Meanwhile Panasonic is the opposite, they’ve always included a bunch of video opti

I have a Pyxis 6K and a S1II (not S1RII). The OLPF really does make the difference. Helps take the edge off the 6K sensor and moire is quite noticeable on the Lumix cameras. S1II / S1RII footage is oversharpen, even the “raw” is quite sharp (but better than H.264). The theory is that Panasonic neede

Yeah cannot beat S5II for 1300€ brand new. Next best thing is Nikon Z6II for 1800€ and that’s A7IV money at that point. I think Panasonic is looking for market share. Only reason I got a6700 is for APSC format, traveling, lightweight and AF for sports and wildlife. If I wanted to go FF nowadays for

Panasonic Id say. If you like the GH4, just stick with it. So much QOL over Sony, it’s not even close. If you REALLY need that little extra AF at the cost of worse screen, stab, recording options, worse menus, etc… well that’s up to you. I have an S5iix and a GH5, at work we use FX3s. Even though th

We upgraded to the S1 II late last summer after shooting with the S1R II for a couple of months. The S1R II is great too but the S1 II is a more versatile and faster camera that can handle everything. Lumix S1 II was chosen the Hybrid Pro Camera for 1) photo and 2) video of the Year 2025 by CineD Fo
