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

Old Sony Users Who Switched To Panasonic; Any Regrets?
Over the past eight years, I’ve shot professionally with Sony cameras. I’ve used the a7III, a7IV, a7R V, and the FX3. They’re solid tools, no doubt about it. When Panasonic released the original Lumix S1, I decided to try it out of curiosity. I loved a lot about the camera, but the autofocus perform

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

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

Is Lumix better for video than photography?
This is a very generell question.I think Lumix cameras are just as good as most others for stills. If you look at specific details, Lumix has a very good stabilization and the best HighRes modes. Others are better equipped for high speed sports and nature with very long and fast lenses.I think Lumix

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

Choosing between the S1RII or A7RV/IV for editorial photography.
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

Sold all my Sony gear for LUMIX and couldn’t be happier
I also switched over to Sony due to lens selection – but I kept my Lumix for video and low light stuff. The Lumix S5 is a really great camera and it's round about €700 used in my country, but despite that, I switched to Sony with an used A7R3 because I wanted to crop more and the S1R is too heavy an

Make this make sense, GH7 costs more than the full frame S5II
The GH7 is the flagship camera in the Lumix M43 lineup. Is has lots of features that need a high readout speed, fast internal processing and storing. The S5-II a simpler FF camera. It has a slow sensor, can't even read 4k60p from the full sensor. The S5-II is still a great camera and if your priorit

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
