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

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

Lumix S1R II or S1 II for portrait and event photography as well as taking my first steps in videography and wildlife photography?
I am struggling between the two cameras. The iq is just subjectively better on the S1R II ....having more resolution doesn't automatically mean better iq, my smartphone has 200 MP LOL.. Still it is a nice file to edit and work with of course. A dilemma for sure. The S1R II has a very slow readout sp

Lumix S1R II or S1 II for portrait and event photography as well as taking my first steps in videography and wildlife photography?
I know it is a "horses for courses" situation, but to buy a high res sensor and to use it mostly or even 50% in some crop modes kinda defeat the purpose of a high-res sensor...and furthermore the S1R II have less DR compared to the S1 II and if you crop the S1R II it will further decrease the DR and

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

Can't decide: which one between Lumix S1/S1R, Nikon z6 ii/III or a new Sony?
I had the Lumix S1R. The thing that surprised me the most of about that camera was how quickly it chewed through batteries, and that it would heat up a bit while doing nothing (I'm assuming very inefficient components just generating heat and sucking up power). The S Pro lenses are great, however, i

Should I trade in my MFT gear for an S1Rii for event photography/videography?
Me and my son were walking through Prague for street photography, he with his Sony A7C II and I with the S1R II. After about 4 hours I had to change the battery while on his camera it was still at 80%. The camera gets hot when constantly taking pictures, but it will not overheat on you. I only recor
