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

I think the problem with the s1iie was clear from the leaks even before the official announcement; it's "just" a suped up s5iix.The s5ii/x has been on the market for a couple of years which means that it's had a couple of years' worth of price reductions. You can buy one in the UK for less than £2k

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.

If you sign up for a Rakuten account on mobile you get 10% bonus cash back, Panasonic has 4% cash back through them so that’s 14% cash back You can combine this with signing up for Panasonics newsletter for 10% off which works on all full price products.

No review talks about any trade offs. It's reasonable to not expect trade offs because this camera is twice as much as the S5ii. The reviews are glowing. If there are trade offs to upgrades then it's good to know about those. Most people who are buying the S1ii won't be aware of those. Lumix has spe

This is an AI summary of an eight page detailed breakdown of why I think they are going to be bought by Panasonic. If you or anyone else really wants to see all the details and historical trends I'll make a new thread but don't want to waste people's time otherwise. I think Panasonic is quietly posi

Yeah basically what you said but it all really depends. Lack of lenses for Canon can be a big deal but if someone like me can live basically with 24mm and 50mm primes then Canon has those covered. I really like their color science and now reviewing my footage from Canon R8 I think it produced best q

I don't know what Lumix' sales are like, if there's enough to justify all s5 competing with the S1 If Amazon numbers are something to go on, it seems sales numbers are: Amazon ranking right now: 18 – Panasonic LUMIX S1RII 28 – Panasonic LUMIX S5II 30 – Panasonic LUMIX S9 31 – Panasonic LUMIX S5IIX 3
