LUMIX S1R

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

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

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

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

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

Hi! well thank you very much for your reply, much appreciated. I'm speaking from my own experience and from what I have also talked about with several colleagues out in the real media field. Indeed technically correct and also practically correct which means exact definitions, and literal truth and

Flash is utter and completely unreliable on the Lumix cameras. They are great for video, not for flash photography. I have used Lumix s1r, lumix s5ii, lumix s5iix, all were terrible. I tried godox ad600 pro, and ad600 pro ii (godox is a very budget entry level flash system), so then I tried with pro

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
