Cameras with Sony Sensors

From what I understand, the 24mp (SL, Q1, M10, M240) and the 61mp (Q3, Q343, SL3, M11) are the same as the sensors in the A7 series. I don't know about the SL2S or the TL or the CL. The Q2 and SL2 are using something developed in collaboration with Panasonic (it's in the S1R too) The M10r has a one

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

What changes would you make if there was ever an S9 II?

First I would like to see an evf, better quality rear dial, a mechanical shutter, and a high resolution version. Maybe use the sensor from the Leica SL3 or the Lumix S1R II. For really sunny climates an evf is just better. It is extremely difficult to take pictures in the bright sunlight here in the

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

Finally a Speedbooster Focal Reducer for L-Mount

I think they confused this product with Kipons expander. This is a focal reducer, the image circle reduces to cover a smaller sensor. Some cameras for video have better performance using a smaller portion of sensor, such as not line skipping, higher frame rates, less latency, or having better compre

When buying a camera (as a hobbyist), are you more interested in the fun while shooting or the results?

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

G9ii + full frame opinions?

Man that s1R is a dream camera for me. What do you use your g9ii for? I have a g9ii that I used mainly with the pano-leica 12-60mm for documentary and street/ portrait photography . I just picked up a used s5iix with the lumix s pro 50mm 1.4 and find it to be beautiful for stills and video. So far t

G9ii + full frame opinions?

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

Olympus OM-1 (1970s analog) to Canon EF or Sony E?

You won't have mirror problem when you use mirrorless camera. At this point in time there is almost no need for DSLR when tons of mirrorless options exist. and you can get an awesome full frame camera for a fraction of what Z8 costs. Look at Lumix (L-Mount) offerings from super compact S9 to flagshi

Is Lumix better for video than photography?

The R series of cameras enters into the chat. R=Resolution. S1R was a serious photography tool. S1RII, which I use for videography (it's a serious hybrid beast) is also a phenomenal photography tool. Besides the 44.3MP resolution for incredible detail, there's actually the Hi-Res mode that works wit
