LUMIX S1R

I’m seriously considering one of these. I don’t need PDAF nor fancy video specs/features as I just still subjects like landscapes, architecture, and urban landscapes. So I just need a good full frame camera with great colors and a simple design for a solid price. Being a Lumix user already, the orig

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

Bit of both. I have a Lumix S1R I take for serious sessions where I don't need to lug it very far and i'm sitting throughout a sunrise/sunset. The 47mp raw files are pure joy to develop. But it's not a fun camera to use. COnversely I love shooting with my OM-1, which is arguably inferior in most reg

The S1R cost less than my om-1. They have gotten pretty cheap used. If you can deal with a clunky slow camera with terrible ergonomics the a7r2 sensor is still fantastic today and you can buy them for around $600 (or at least you could back when I sold mine a year ago). I do prefer the output from m

I would choose the S1R and G9 II. I own the S1R and a single L-mount lens, the Sigma ART 35mm F1.2 DG II. I had purchased the S1R initialy with the intent to use it as a digital X-Pan, taking advantage of its in-camera 65:24 crop and it served me well for that project. After that project concluded,

I shot with an A7iv a lot during college, my main work cam for years was an OG G9, and I've just picked up the S5iix. So not super across the S1R but I have some reference as to the two systems. What I can say is that the menu system/software/ergonomics are one of the biggest reasons I stuck with Lu

If I wasn’t doing architectural photography or fast paced action, it would be Lumix hands down. L-Mount now has more lenses than Canon’s RF line, AF is now very close to Sony performance, and they have much better ergonomics, colours and IBIS. They also now have live tethering which was another pain

It’s been a loooooooong time since I last used a DSLR, so I can’t say there, but if you’re able to use / test a Sony A7CII (not the A7C mark I) or A6700, it’s VERY similar to this camera. The A7C II should be much easier to find to test at a local Best Buy or camera store. Note that the OM-5 and OM-

It's not just ergonomics, but yes, the needs of a videographer, YouTuber, and photographer differ in key ways. I'm not a Sony user, although arguably Lumix (my preferred brand) don't do much better at catering to photographers anymore. Every camera Lumix released this year has two record buttons, an

I use pixel shift on a Lumix DC-S1R all the time for reproduction work with art and heritage material. Lumix’s system processes the 8 shots in camera outputting one 187mp raw file. I have probably focus stacked with them at some point; I frequently stitch them together for oversize items. They are a
