LUMIX S1II

Hey there! Full time business photographer videographer here. Looks like you’re hitting the limit of using a hybrid photo camera for long form video. The Nikon Z8 is an incredible camera, but some would say it isn’t built for hour plus continuous recording, especially in a theater environment. Readi

That’s just so wild. $300 more for literally double the speed with the S1II. And somehow Panasonic isn’t taken seriously for photography.

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

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

For the price, the features you get are absolutely insane. “Back in the day” (2015) I spent close to $30K on a RED Epic Dragon that pretty much has the same frame rates and main resolution combinations this tiny little camera now offers for less than 1/10 the price (if we look at things as body only

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,

I assume Panasonic will buy Arri. Nikon started implementing raw video then bought Red for next to nothing in the grand scheme of things. Arri has liscenced their version of log to Panasonic. If that deal turned out ok I could I don't see why it wouldn't go further. At this point I don't know if any

Yeah cannot beat S5II for 1300€ brand new. Next best thing is Nikon Z6II for 1800€ and that’s A7IV money at that point. I think Panasonic is looking for market share. Only reason I got a6700 is for APSC format, traveling, lightweight and AF for sports and wildlife. If I wanted to go FF nowadays for

I was right there on weighing the options with the A7V too...and went with the S1II (and the adventure kit as you did) because I loved it after spending 6 days with the rental and it was the fStopper review that pushed me over the top: "To convince new shooters to choose Panasonic over the much more

Panasonic Id say. If you like the GH4, just stick with it. So much QOL over Sony, it’s not even close. If you REALLY need that little extra AF at the cost of worse screen, stab, recording options, worse menus, etc… well that’s up to you. I have an S5iix and a GH5, at work we use FX3s. Even though th
