LUMIX S1R

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

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

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

Yeah you need to really figure out what you want the camera for. There are legitimate reasons to choose Panasonic and video is one of them. But for a beginner the S1rII may be a steep learning curve. I own one but have been taking photos all my life. If you don’t mind investing the time and energy j

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

Most of those cons can be addressed or almost alleviated in the menu system. AF, sharpness, white balance, lens selection. LUMIX (I can speak to the S5ii) and S1R specifically do have adjustable options in AF settings. Locking sensitivity and speed more importantly. And of course the system pairings

There are cameras less capable in video than they should, sometimes because of design trade offs, sometimes because some functions were cut to push something more expensive but there are also fck ups Many Fuji especially 40mp and older GFX (before 100ii) Sigma FP and FPL Canon R5 (that overheats in

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

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

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
