I have a Pyxis 6K and a S1II (not S1RII). The OLPF really does make the difference. Helps take the edge off the 6K sensor and moire is quite noticeable on the Lumix cameras. S1II / S1RII footage is oversharpen, even the “raw” is quite sharp (but better than H.264). The theory is that Panasonic neede

My understanding, and it could be incorrect as Panasonic is so secretive about these details, is that the thermal sensor of the image sensor was too sensitive and proactively ended recording well before any concern to the sensor. Panasonic LUMIX had to experiment with determining what that correct l

Yeah I have read about this as well, Panasonic doesn't abandon old products compared to the other big vendors. Thanks for commenting. I am very much inclined towards s1rii, despite there being canon r6iii, Sony a7v. They might be direct competitors but the used prices are similar.

Well... yes. I mean, you wouldn't be turning the S1RII into a Blackmagic camera. You'd still be shooting and conforming the footage using V-log, with the S1RII's sensor as a base. That sensor is quite different to the one in the BMCC6KFF/Pyxis 6K. Higher resolution, higher dynamic range, relatively

Just to say thank you to the OP and to this thread. I'd been on the fence for months between the Z7ii and the Lumix S1Rii to replace/augment a Fuji X-H2 and a D800e (in use since 2012 with Zeiss ZF.2 glass for primarily landscape). Reading this thread at 5:00 this morning, the clear advantages of st

Not a bad deal. Great price for just a straight up purchase. I used the "Trade-in Trade-up" promotion. The link still works, but it doesn't mention the coupon amount anymore, just that a coupon is provided. Worth checking if interested. You don't have to complete the purchase if the coupon isn't as

Why don’t you get a Lumix S1RII or S1II and try it by yourself? You can always return it. Personally as an S5IIX and S1II owner, I would say the focus is as reliable as Sony, Canon or Nikon, being Fuji behind in video. In fact I’ve watched a video recently where an R5II misses focus on a wedding vid

I have both but also the S1II and I just sold my Z6III. I wanted to sold my Z8 too but I'm not sure since the new firmware update of the S1RII. I thought we would get 8K Prores Raw but it is still cropped.The truth is the Z8 has better video quality than the S1RII since it can record in full frame P

Ich hatte durch die aktuelle Aktion von Panasonic die S1Rii da und konnte Sie mit meiner S5ii vergleichen. Ja bei JPG OOC gibt es Unterschiede, da ich aber die RAWs mit DxO entwickle schrumpft der Unterschied dramatisch. Ich fotografiere alles was an Tieren mir vor die Linse kommt, primär mit dem 15
