"Lumix AF Isn't Good Enough for Sports/Action/Wildlife!" An Experiment. || Lumix S1RII + Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8
Great video article and real pictures that back up your statement. I'd say this article is more valid than most affiliate so called gear reviewers out there who didn't even shoot any real events, maybe at best a couple hundred shots in the local park. To answer your question, I am not sure why that

S1Mii body drop to $2356 during the june Promotional Campaign-but still to expensive compare to its competitors
Genuinely confused as to how you could get this so wrong. The S1II and the A7V are the same price currently in the US ($2899), The R6 III is $100 cheaper, Nikon Z8 starts at $3100 used on MPB, and the A1 starts at $3400 used. At $2356, the S1ii a DEAL. Let's break this down: - Photography: all the b

Sony FX5 or Lumix S1ii for videography business? Convince me to buy S1ii.
The S1II has incredible autofocus—a huge improvement over Panasonic’s previous models. I use the S Pro 24-70 and never experienced any issues. It also includes many of the features people had been asking Sony to add for years, like open gate. IBIS is still the best on the market. On top of that, Pan

S1R II / S1 II or Sony A7V?
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

Switching to Lumix S1RII (or S1II) for professional photography?
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

Old Sony Users Who Switched To Panasonic; Any Regrets?
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

"Lumix AF Isn't Good Enough for Sports/Action/Wildlife!" An Experiment. || Lumix S1RII + Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8
True, and at the same time I believe Lumix is calculating this very carefully, so to speak. I'm not saying they use too much time on this nonsense but probably within their marketing team they have people who are following what's going on at least to some extent. Keep calm and carry on is their watc

Best video camera worth buying the MOST currently in your opinion?
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

Autofocus: Fujifilm XT5 vs Panasonic S mk2 variants?
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

BMCC6K vs Lumix S1Rii 8k BRAW image?
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
