"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

Andrew Reid predicts Panasonic is soft-quitting the market for professional photographers and videographers
I think Andrew went from healthy scepticism to bitter dommerism some time ago. He seems to think of himself as some sort of a scorned LUMIX fan. As for the substance of his blog piece - LPS has been phased out for years in Europe so no, it's not an unusual move. can you imagine Nikon ending NPS or C

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

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

How are you doing with the flash on the s5ii?
There are three issues I have personally experienced. Major lag when shooting ttl mode and minor lag when shooting manual strobes with Godox, Profoto and Bowens flash (godox was the only system with ttl) inconsistent hss flash when using fastest shutter without hss, like 1/320 on S1r and 1/250 on s5

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

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

Considering selling S5ii for a S1/S1R.
If you are a photo journalist meaning mainly photographing people who may or may not be moving(and in fact may not want to be photographed) I think having fast pdaf autofocus is an absolute must. In that case getting s1 or s1r is a terrible idea as you would miss most shots and not be able to take t

Considering making the switch from my Sony A7RV to something like a Lumix S1 RII for model and event photography (and some short film making)
Except that the S1 II is simply more photo-centric especially for action and do it all applications as a do-it-all-tool. The Lumix S1 II and Lumix S1R II cater to completely different professional demands, and the S1 II’s partially stacked 24MP superior sensor brings critical workflow advantages tha
