My long-term LUMIX S1 ii review

Not sure if my opinion is of any value to you, but I'm a former S5II owner. I took advantage of Panasonic LUMIX's trade-in trade-up promotion, which provided me a $400 discount on the purchase of the new S series camera and I received ~$850 in value for my S5II (varies depending on condition, mine w

Over-processed image of the S5iix / S1ii ?

By all accounts you can get a more organic image by shooting Pro-Res and Raw formats, but these come with huge file sizes. H264 and H265 file sizes are so much more reasonable for so many workflows - and I have also noticed the difference going from an S1 / S1H to an S5II. Up-voting this because its

S1R II / S1 II or Sony A7V?

if you are mainly looking to shoot video, the s1ii is the clear best choice. for photography s1rii has higher resolution and better evf while a7V has better af, less rolling shutter and slightly better dynamic range. if you are going to shoot photos as much as video, the a7V might be the best option

Another S1ii overheating test (confirmed)

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

upgrading from the GH5S? New S1II or wait for the FX3II?

There aren’t really any rumors about an FX3ii yet. I used a GH5/GH5s for years until 2021 when I got an A7siii due to the autofocus and low light ability. If Panasonic had come out with something with decent autofocus at that point I would probably still be with them. Though that being said I own 2x

Switching to Lumix S1RII (or S1II) for professional photography?

Hi, first of all I'd like to point out that based on your description in your post you can't go wrong with either of these great 2nd generation LUMIX cameras. If I may I'd like to share with you why we chose the S1 II over the S1R II. We tested the S1R II for a couple of months side by side to the S

S1II dynamic range for photos.

One of the issues with the Z6III (I own 2 for professional work) is the e-shutter and mechanical shutter have the same DR. Typically the mechanical shutter will give you higher DR. You can see it tests about a stop less than it could. But while on paper there is a difference, in actual use I hardly

Why doesn't the Nikon Z6III match the Panasonic S1II dynamic range

Some people are pointing to the dual gain output in Dynamic Range Boost mode, but that’s not it. Even with that disabled, the S1II has a good stop or so on the Z6III. I’m not an expert, but I believe this comes down to two things. S1II is taking longer to read the sensor. I’ve heard the S1II uses a

BMCC6K vs Lumix S1Rii 8k BRAW image?

I have a Pyxis 6K and a S1II (not S1RII). The OLPF really does make the difference. Helps take the edge off the 6K sensor and moire is quite noticeable on the Lumix cameras. S1II / S1RII footage is oversharpen, even the “raw” is quite sharp (but better than H.264). The theory is that Panasonic neede

Panasonic S1IIE for 2000€ good deal for video and photo work?

including a new sensor.
