"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

Switching from the Lumix S1II E to the Lumix S1RII for a mixed pro workflow (60% photo, 40% video — interviews, event coverage)?

Went round the houses and for a pro do it all camera you can't beat Lumix s1ii for value and performance. I think people get sucked in by the colour fidelity of the S1r ii but actually have some real world problems like slower AF + battery life. Feedback from one pro says strictly a studio or creato

Lumix S5IIIX or S1RII for a person new to cameras, but wanting the best investment?

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

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

Guys...hear me out, but the S1ii image quality might be actual nice

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

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

Is it possible to go under $2400 during summer? (s1r2)

I get it. I am a shill with their video. The gh7 and g9ii are great. I'm a m43 Lumix shill. I got my S1r and S5 bc I was getting into photo (portrait) and thought the next PDAF cameras would be more digital, and people always say they notice a difference now that Lumix has gone PDAF. I do get good p

Right after proposing

I always take a few photos for clients after the proposal moment has finished. Very bright highlights seems to be the current trend for everything proposal/engagement/wedding, so my goal is to lean into that and add subtle warmth by moving the white balance slightly higher in post. I didn't notice a

Should I trade in my MFT gear for an S1Rii for event photography/videography?

Don't!!!! I sold my S1R II on ebay, so I know what I am talking about: The S1R II has a horrible battery life. The ergonomics are bad, because the body is thicker than the previous LUMIX lineup. The camera overheats like crazy! You can not use CFExpress Typ B cards, they get way too hot, so you are

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
