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

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

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

Why are companies not into small m43 cameras and pancake lens?

Panasonic focussing heavily on refreshing their S cameras, like the S1RII and S1II, with everyone speculating they're working on an S1HII basically suggests the G cameras and lenses probably won't see anything new soon. The closest comparison Micro Four Thirds as a system has is to Sony E Mount, mer

Should I upgrade my camera or improve my current setup for a more cinematic look? (Lumix S5II + Sigma 28-70)

It's insanity to say a two year old camera that has an identical sensor to even part of the current generation needs upgrading. Mirrorless life cycles are much more agressive than the dslrs and Panasonic are throwing out cameras for all audiences instead of focusing on a few bodies. If that works fo

S1II 60fps 14-bit RAW?

That's true. I think Panasonic could be a bit more serious about sports/wildlife, especially with the S1II existing. M43 has the 50-200 f2.8-4, 100-400 (2 versions), and 200 f2.8 from only Panasonic. They definitely have the know how. Also it would help showcase the modern Lumix AF.

Honest thoughts on z6iii?

Using also the S1II/S1RII Panasonic and the A7CII/A7III (I also had the FX3), the Z6III has : -The best skin tones.-Excellent AF, almost as good as Sony and better than Panasonic, even compared to the S1II.-6K Raw video full sensor up to 60fps. Neither the S1II/S1RII or A7CII/FX3 has this (the S1II
