LUMIX S1II

It's due to the limitations of most current CMOS sensor unless you get one with a global shutter. This is from a Panasonic S1ii with a rolling shutter so it reads the sensor line by line. I stabilized the video in post with Davinci Resolve (the editing program). This stabilized the overall plane, bu

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

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

But I agree it’s a bit hard to tell what features you’re actually getting if you don’t have the 3 newest c

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

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

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

Panasonic could have change the limit of thermal reading to higher value like Sony and it should be ok, it got a build in fan for god's sake! This S1II saga reminds me of R5 when it was first released, now with later firmware it doesn't overheat unless u shoot long 8K, I think Canon must have upper

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

Panasonic needs to give S1ii a firmware update with - 1 sharpness settings. Im happy Ed is drawing attention to this.
