"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

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

Guys...hear me out, but the S1ii image quality might be actual nice
Before we added the S1 II to our collection I had a slightly different interpretation of the S1 II. Far from being a "loony" minority opinion, preferring the image of the Panasonic Lumix S1 II over the S1R II is a widespread stance among media professionals, action photographers and low-light videog

S1Rii for hybrid A Cam
You are welcome! Yes, the things you may have to consider is the slower sensor in the S1R II, possible rolling shutter issues at fast action, slower AF, less FPS and a weaker buffer during action etc.... On the other hand the slightly inferior cropping possibilites with the S1 II may not be a real i

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

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

S9 Owners (or critics): How Much More Would You Have Paid for EVF, Mechanical Shutter, and Hot Shoe?
The S9 feels like Panasonic’s shot at Fuji’s X100 VI, with a touch of Leica in its design. It is clearly aimed at people who are new to the Panasonic S line, at travelers who want something light, at street photographers who need discretion, and at influencers who want portability without losing qua

Choose between S1ii and S1Rii for photo and video
We have shot both extensively. If you're primarily a photographer, take the S1 II which is a more versatile tool and also having a modern partially stacked sensor with all the benefits. The S1 II beats the S1R II in so many different areas for photography (videography too). If you want a camera that

S1Rii for hybrid A Cam
On paper and in the real world the DR is better on the S1 II, also Panasonic themselves confirm that. About the colors it depends who you ask...if somebody just finished an action shoot an notice that with the S1R II approx 25% of the images have rolling shutter issues then some imaginary fantasy ab

Hi! well thank you very much for your reply, much appreciated. I'm speaking from my own experience and from what I have also talked about with several colleagues out in the real media field. Indeed technically correct and also practically correct which means exact definitions, and literal truth and
