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.

But I agree it’s a bit hard to tell what features you’re actually getting if you don’t have the 3 newest c

Not sure how it works in the US but here in the UK, when I looked into it, DHL are actually contracted with Panasonic UK Store to hold their stock and fulfil orders. We got sent a S1II instead of S1RII and Panasonic customer service were pretty helpful in the end. I don't think it was their fault, j

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

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

For the price, the features you get are absolutely insane. “Back in the day” (2015) I spent close to $30K on a RED Epic Dragon that pretty much has the same frame rates and main resolution combinations this tiny little camera now offers for less than 1/10 the price (if we look at things as body only

The FX3/A7S III are missing things in 2026 that cameras like the C50 and Lumix S1 II already have. Open-gate recording, richer monitoring tools (waveform, false color), more flexible codecs, and stronger internal stabilization are not just “nice to haves”, they meaningfully improve speed and flexibi

Panasonic needs to give S1ii a firmware update with - 1 sharpness settings. Im happy Ed is drawing attention to this.

I own or owned lot of Panasonic full frame and m43 cameras. To my eyes, the S1II has the worse colors, by example a lot of time when I look at my footage, I think the greens look off and it is not only because of the white balance.The S5II had nicer colors on my opinion, the first firmware of this c

I was convinced that the Panasonic S1II e was the way to go and it’s a great camera very capable but eventually went back to SL3S because of the fotos app, the menu system and viewfinder and joystick. Just enjoy it more
