LUMIX Digital Shotgun Microphone DMW-DMS1
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.

I hope this would be true..
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

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

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

Worried about Panasonic at the International Broadcast Conference
Definitely not! Panasonic is used quite widely amongst content creators and is seen as THE value proposition. The S1H is still one of the only hybrid mirrorless cameras in the Netflix approved camera list and with the S1ii we are now getting Arri log. Let’s not also forget that the L mount alliance

Experiences with Lumix customer service? Considering switching to S5 II from Sony
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

Lumix S1II vs Nikon Z8 for 60/40 Video/Photo
I have both. I wanted a second body for video and picked up an S1ii a few weeks ago. Z8 has been my main photo beast for awhile. I find myself using the S1ii more and more as my edc and I've really been enjoying using it as true hybrid. For some reason it makes me want to get out and take more video

Problems with the S1II
The AF part- 100% my experience (with s5ii at least, the s1ii should be only tad better). The “wide zone +tap to track which actually works and doesnt loose subject” mode on sony is ideal for run&gun/ events and panasonic just makes you concentrate on checking if the focus didnt drifted off instead

What body should I upgrade to? Concerned about moiré issues when shooting commercial work with the S1 II. More details in the post.
First of all, congratulations in advance. I understand your concerns. However, moiré is not a problem unique to Panasonic. New sharpening systems mean higher sharpness. When you add high megapixel counts to that, moiré inevitably becomes an issue. As you mentioned, Canon cameras have an OLPF filter,

Lumix S1 IIE Discontinued!
They priced the S1II too high. If it was made by Sony or Canon the price would make sense for the features offered, but Lumix needs market share and needed to be aggressive. It’s really tough to convince people to leave their brand and lens collection, and almost impossible if you’re significantly m
