LUMIX S1II

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

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

Overall, I completely agree with everything you mentioned. I’d gladly put my name to it—with a few exceptions. I’d like to start with these points first. As for overheating, I’m not a big fan of the thermal design either, but regardless of the setup, I haven’t experienced the level of overheating yo

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

Thats a big shame, and a huge mistake by Panasonic to rest on their laurels with the S1ii as their flagship. As impressive and great of a camera the S1Ii is, it’s not enough to be a professional’s A camera for video production. Highly processed and digitally sharp image, no OLPF to eliminate moire,

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

I upgraded from G7 -> G85 -> G9 -> S9 -> S5II -> S1II I am exclusively a bird photographer and dabble in some vintage glass. For vintage full frame is preferable because of no crop factor, so you get full lens coverage. For birding its complicated. There is nothing on full frame comparable to Panaso

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

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.

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
