LUMIX Digital Shotgun Microphone DMW-DMS1

Nice. Thanks for posting this. As always, there is 0 information on the German Panasonic website. Compatible with S1RII, S1II and S1IIE as of February 2026. I hope they will add the older models as well - via a firmware update. That would be nice. Edit: YouTube reviews are out. I watched these two.

Thoughts on Lumix S5iix for video vs what I currently use (Nikon Z8)

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

S1II 60fps 14-bit RAW?

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

Struggling to love Lumix photos after Fuji — anyone else?

I didn't use Fuji before but also just didn't like the colors out of my new S5II at all, even when editing my raws, compared to my old Canon. Then I found this guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/Lumix/comments/1p1rm30/i_mathematically_hacked_panasonic_vlog_to/ and now I pretty much shoot exclusively jpgs wit

Old Sony Users Who Switched To Panasonic; Any Regrets?

Over the past eight years, I’ve shot professionally with Sony cameras. I’ve used the a7III, a7IV, a7R V, and the FX3. They’re solid tools, no doubt about it. When Panasonic released the original Lumix S1, I decided to try it out of curiosity. I loved a lot about the camera, but the autofocus perform

Camera recommendations for film student?

In no particular order: Panasonic S1ii Nikon Z8 or ZR Sony A7v Canon R6iii Read the reviews, watch the videos and hold them in your hand and check out the menus. Any of them would do a great job. But there isn't one perfect camera: some have open gate, some have RAW, some have higher frame rates, yo

Lumix S1II vs Nikon Z8 for 60/40 Video/Photo

I have both. I wanted a second body for video and picked up an S1ii a few weeks ago. Z8 has been my main photo beast for awhile. I find myself using the S1ii more and more as my edc and I've really been enjoying using it as true hybrid. For some reason it makes me want to get out and take more video

Micro Four Thirds is "just getting killed" - Peter Jeune, on Petapixel Podcast 12/06/2025

I'd say that MFT is undead - on the OM side, everything that's been released is a repackaging of the technology from OM-1, when the R&D was completed by Olympus already prior to the camera, binocular and dictaphone business being offloaded. On the Panasonic side, the G9II is a great camera, so is th

Best video camera worth buying the MOST currently in your opinion?

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

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
