LUMIX S5IIX

You'll be paying Sony tax for everything tho, I say go the Leica with Panasonic S5IIX

Unless you are married to the idea of going Sony, consider the Lumix S5iix. Outstanding hybrid for same price as the slightly outdated a7iii. Your estimates for batteries and charges will transfer to Panasonic nicely

Before you become so despondent, the S1Rii firmware version 1.1 was a bug fix and for improving operational stability. The June v1.2 was the monster feature update as promised. Despite Panasonic's recent history of doing press releases for game changing firmware updates, small regular updates should

I don't have the GH7, but I've got an S5iix. While I do love the camera and I knew that L mount lenses weren't quite as available as some of the competition (Sony in particular), I do feel like the amount of lenses available and the price of them is at least a bit more detrimental than I thought.

The S9 is a nice camera for what it's designed for. I have 2 lumix also, and took both of them recently on a trip abroad and glad

I can share a few images. As per previous comments, a good portion of Leica SL Lenses are either rebranded Panasonic or Sigma lenses; that doesn't mean they're bad though. My particular lens in the Leica APO Vario-Elmarit 90-280, which is one of the first lenses released for the SL system roughly 10

My S5IIX is my main webcam with the Lumix 18mm. I use the official dummy battery from Panasonic with HDMI into my Elgato. It's never failed me yet. I'm sure you could use the program to make it work if you want to cut out the capture card component, but if your streaming for a long time I'd recommen

I just, (as of yesterday,) purchased the S5IIX directly from Panasonic. It is currently on sale for about $2100 for the kit with the 20-60mm lens. I used the welcome 10% off email on top of the sale that is already going on, and to my surprise, the 10% came off the original price and not the discoun
