LUMIX S1IIE

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

I thought the G9II and/or the GH7 also use an in-house design? I agree though. The costs are exceptionally high, but Panasonic could just as easily copy the Sony strategy and buy in massive bulk: create a top-end sensor, put it in a very expensive camera, and then spend the next four years reusing i

I just, (as of yesterday,) purchased the S5IIX directly from Panasonic. It is currently on sale for about $2100 for the kit with the 20-60mm lens. I used the welcome 10% off email on top of the sale that is already going on, and to my surprise, the 10% came off the original price and not the discoun

I have yet to buy this camera, but from what I can tell, everyone is sleeping on it pretty hard. The narrative is that it’s an S5II with all the new features and upgrades of the S1RII/S1II, like false color, internal RAW, cripples stabilization, and the new body design. However it seems that’s not t

Same for me. I can wait some more now. The S1IIE is a really good camera. I hope Panasonic brings the price down by about 10 to 15%. Then it is better priced and more people will hopefully decide for this camera. I have a feeling Panasonic has another S9 moment here. They market the “essentials” ver

If Panasonic finally decides to release small body (GX9 or G90 successor) with PDAF and Real Time LUT that would suit your needs just perfect. For now, google says that only compatible bodies are G9 mk2, GH7 and bunch of full frames (S9, S5II, S5IIX, S1IIE, S1II, S1RII). From those S9 with grip migh

Equally it means asking everyone else their choices which will be to address their needs doesn't help you. The questions to answer are as always: What do you want to shoot and how much are you willing to spend? You speak of DR and only taking pics but then you're dropping this in as well: "Compared

i don't do weddings either so my main concern is can it shoot 25p max res. i use blackmagic though for that stuff. i do sort of wish lumix would embrace a video style body as most of their pro users are video focused(not that pro photographers dont exist but ive never seen one, one or two leica l mo

Still not much of an upgrade IMO. For me the biggest upgrade is the body itself more than what you just mentioned. I won't notice the better IBIS. I've seen videos testing and saying "so the S1IIE has better IBIS". Meanwhile I'm sitting here unable to tell the difference. And to be quite honest, the

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
