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

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

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 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

Considering getting a S1r for general use photography as a back up to my S5ii, any thoughts
I actually did this a while back and if you can find a good deal on the S1R then I’d say go for it! It’ll make your S5ii feel like a toy though, it’s the best built Lumix camera I’ve ever felt and it’s so bloody comfortable in hand. It’s got so many nice features, Top LCD, backlit buttons, CFExpress

Right after proposing
I always take a few photos for clients after the proposal moment has finished. Very bright highlights seems to be the current trend for everything proposal/engagement/wedding, so my goal is to lean into that and add subtle warmth by moving the white balance slightly higher in post. I didn't notice a

Is Lumix better for video than photography?
This is a very generell question.I think Lumix cameras are just as good as most others for stills. If you look at specific details, Lumix has a very good stabilization and the best HighRes modes. Others are better equipped for high speed sports and nature with very long and fast lenses.I think Lumix

Is it possible to go under $2400 during summer? (s1r2)
I get it. I am a shill with their video. The gh7 and g9ii are great. I'm a m43 Lumix shill. I got my S1r and S5 bc I was getting into photo (portrait) and thought the next PDAF cameras would be more digital, and people always say they notice a difference now that Lumix has gone PDAF. I do get good p

Anybody switched from Fuji to LUMIX mainly photography?
I’m primarily a Fuji shooter, but I picked up a Lumix S5II earlier this year. It’s a fantastic camera, though I definitely felt the learning curve especially with the live view. The “nature live view” mode and the lag you get when using slower shutter speeds threw me off. That might just be my own i
