LUMIX S1II

S1II uses a partially stacked sensor, with faster readout speeds and CF Express card (OP confirmed they used CFE). With electronics, faster usually means hotter. It could also have a new processor, memory or other components that run hotter than the components in the S5 II. If Panasonic didn't enhan

Panasonic could have change the limit of thermal reading to higher value like Sony and it should be ok, it got a build in fan for god's sake! This S1II saga reminds me of R5 when it was first released, now with later firmware it doesn't overheat unless u shoot long 8K, I think Canon must have upper

I just been testing s1ii for 2 days and it does overheat unfortunately. Have supported cards. I shoot weddings on 3 canon R5’s and they had a problem first but then canon fixed it with firmware which I hope panasonic will do too.

If you or anyone else really wants to see all the details and historical trends I'll make a new thread but don't want to waste people's time otherwise. I think Panasonic is quietly posi

Good for you. Unfortunately, having a camera that doesn’t overheat means more to me when I’m shooting events that can’t be reshot. I need a camera that’s reliable in a professional setting. Again, it’s just disappointing coming from a long lumix only shooter. The same things that I would rave to peo

You can turn off autofocus and the result would be the same. And the S5ii also has PDAF and wouldn’t overheat in the same conditions. There is no argument or excuse for this. I’m 27 years old. I’m not some “old school shooter”. I shoot hybrid weddings both photo and video which is specifically why I
