"Lumix AF Isn't Good Enough for Sports/Action/Wildlife!" An Experiment. || Lumix S1RII + Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8
Great video article and real pictures that back up your statement. I'd say this article is more valid than most affiliate so called gear reviewers out there who didn't even shoot any real events, maybe at best a couple hundred shots in the local park. To answer your question, I am not sure why that

S1R owners in 2026, how’s it holding up?
Having owned the S1R and now the S1Rii, the original was a much nicer built camera, with great design touches, I much prefer it from a handling perspective. (I miss the top screen!!) But the S1R’s autofocus is pretty crap, if you’re doing static portraits and landscape work it’s fine but good luck d

I feel reluctant to buy more L mount glass
The honest answer is…the z8 and z9 are better cameras for the wildlife purpose. Albeit they are very large. My S5ii and Sigma 150-600 came to around 2.5k..that’s less than one Nikon Z8. So I’d expect it to be the better camera. The sigma 150-600 is a nice lens, the autofocus is slow though. The zoom

Switching from the Lumix S1II E to the Lumix S1RII for a mixed pro workflow (60% photo, 40% video — interviews, event coverage)?
Went round the houses and for a pro do it all camera you can't beat Lumix s1ii for value and performance. I think people get sucked in by the colour fidelity of the S1r ii but actually have some real world problems like slower AF + battery life. Feedback from one pro says strictly a studio or creato

1100 dollars Zeiss Lens worth it?
I swear by these Zeiss ZE lenses, I have a good set with: 15mm, 21mm, 35mm, 50mm Planar 1.4, 50mm Makro-Planar and 100mm which are by far the best ones of the range. These haven’t been updated on the Milvus range (apart from 50mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.4). I have the Sigma adapter and I use it with Panasoni

Switching to Lumix S1RII (or S1II) for professional photography?
Hi, first of all I'd like to point out that based on your description in your post you can't go wrong with either of these great 2nd generation LUMIX cameras. If I may I'd like to share with you why we chose the S1 II over the S1R II. We tested the S1R II for a couple of months side by side to the S

Considering selling S5ii for a S1/S1R.
I use the S1R for wildlife photography and the autofocus is fine. I've never used it for sports photography tho. But if I can nail focus on birds in flight I think it will be fine. I think the autofocus on the S1 and S1R is made out to be worse than it is. It's definitely not amazing, but it's far f

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

S1ii or S1R ii for photography?
I'd really suggest using the Panasonic rental program to decide if the jump is really worth it. You'll get to use a new body for a few days and see if there really is an improvement in your photography experience. In my experience, I'd say going from the og S1, s1r, or St to one if the newer bodies

Live Composition and Focus Stacking on S1 or S1R
Focus stacking is as good as focus stacking can be. There is no live compoisition in original S1R, but I guess you are asking about S1RII. I have always kiked Lumix lice composition the most. Its so easy to use, its very accurate and setting it up is so effortless and you can see the effect before s
