Is Lumix better for video than photography?

I wouldn't say it's video first. It's just that Lumix actually gave you the video features required to fully utilize the capabilities of the camera. The competition often kneecapped their cameras by treating video as a gimmick. Even on Sony cameras, which were popular for video and had capable hardw

Anybody go from S5IIX to S1RII?

I switched from Sony (a7r5, a1) to Panasonic last year. Picked up the s5iix and a few lenses. I fell in love with video on that camera, and for photos is was pretty good, but nothing I would write home about coming from those two Sony bodies. I’ve since purchased the s9 (which I love for a small wal

Nikon Z6 iii vs Nikon ZR vs panasonic S1 ii for travel videos?

Having used an s9 and S5iix for over a year and having switched now to a Nikon setup with ZR/Z8/ZF I can only say I am more happy with current gear BUT for your needs, an S9 it’s the best bang for the bucks you can have. Yes, crop on 4k60 it’s a pain in the arse but noting that will make you rip you

Panasonic S1IIE for 2000€ good deal for video and photo work?

I have yet to buy this camera, but from what I can tell, everyone is sleeping on it pretty hard. The narrative is that it’s an S5II with all the new features and upgrades of the S1RII/S1II, like false color, internal RAW, cripples stabilization, and the new body design. However it seems that’s not t

Wedding photographer looking to add video (Canon ecosystem?) – R6 Mark II or switching brands

Some thoughts as a full time videographer who has shot weddings in the past: I have the r6 mk3. I do not recommend it as a video-only camera. I bought it to be my hybrid body to complement my c70. If you want a video-focused body within the canon ecosystem, your only decent opinions are R5C, C70, C8

Is it time to move on?

I moved on from Fujifilm last year and primarily use Panasonic Lumix now (S5IIX and S1RII). Quick thoughts off the top of my head: The IBIS is so much better. No weird wide-angle wobbles and no jerky corrections during camera movements. I love the color science. Fujifilm has great colors too and thi

Autofocus: Fujifilm XT5 vs Panasonic S mk2 variants?

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

The Right Lumix for an Indie Filmmaker?

I am an also a low budget horror film maker and I've got the S5İİ X and I fucking adore it. I recently shot a proof of concept horror short with it and the image coming out of it was simply stunning with just a simple grade on Davinci Resolve and I wasn't even shooting ProRes to an SSD, just a all i

Please suggest me a recent dad/travel M43 camera with good JPEGs?

If Panasonic finally decides to release small body (GX9 or G90 successor) with PDAF and Real Time LUT that would suit your needs just perfect. For now, google says that only compatible bodies are G9 mk2, GH7 and bunch of full frames (S9, S5II, S5IIX, S1IIE, S1II, S1RII). From those S9 with grip migh
