Switching to Lumix S1RII (or S1II) for professional photography?
I sold all my Sony gear and switched to the S1R2 The ergonomics are better Image stabilization is best in class Image quality has some magic Hybrid zoom for video is insane, giving you a lot of versatility with lenses and the s1RII It's a true Photo /Video powerhouse, don't let the "rolling shutter"

Autofocus LUMIX S1R II vs r5 mark 2 for photo (not worried about video)
Canons AF is better overall, and more importantly easier to use. The AF on the S1rii is good, but you really will need to dial in your AF settings on the environment and lenses used. If you're shooting sports or anything that requires tracking AF, Canons AF will blow lumix out of the water. Eye AF i

From s5iiX to S1Rii, RAW File examples.
I shoot it and really like it. I used it with elinchrom elb 400 and 500 without problems, the files look great. Af is snappy and reliable, better than the s5ii. I made a post with examples, I’ll add the link. https://www.reddit.com/r/Lumix/comments/1n7nymz/the_lumix_s1rii_my_experience_after_2_months/

Nikon Z8 vs Lumix S1R II – Anyone shot both? Which would you choose any why?
I’ve used the Z9 (and Z6III) for professional motorsports and portrait work. I also owned an S1RII for my personal camera that I have now sold and replaced with a Z8. If you are shooting Raw and processing in Lightroom they are a toss-up for colors, noise and dynamic range. Literally so close it wou

Switching to Lumix S1RII (or S1II) for professional photography?
I love the S1RII it was my first flagship lumix camera I came from the S9 and made the full switch. Anyways after using the S1RII for about 4 months now I can say this. First the AF in lowlight is not the best I found my self missing focus on shots. After messing with the AF sensitivity settings it

Is now a good time to buy a Panasonic Lumix S1RII for landscape and wildlife photography?
Lumix s1Rii is far better than Nikon z7 and canon r5 mark I in every single aspect. Including AF.

How are you doing with the flash on the s5ii?
So I've heard a lot about these flash issues and they've made me reconsider staying with Lumix when I purchase my next camera just for flexibility's sake, but in my ACTUAL experience I have had no issues, and whether it will matter for you or not depends heavily on the kind of work you do. You did s

Colors and Image of the S1II compared to S1H, S1R2 and S5II
I think the S1RII has more lovely colors. However, both the Z8 and Z6III have nicer skin tones (at least when shooting in Prores Raw N-log). You can't get the perfect camera sadly. By exemple, the Z8 is big and the photos from this camera are not as sharp as the S1RII, I don't know why. Same for the

Colors and Image of the S1II compared to S1H, S1R2 and S5II
I made a post very similar some days ago. While I like Prores Raw to finally get the same IQ than the OG S1 and S5, the excellent IBIS, DR and AF, the colors are really not great most of the time SOOC. The greens are unimpressive and unnatural, like you said the sky looks lifeless. But more importan

BMCC6K vs Lumix S1Rii 8k BRAW image?
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
