It is impressive how Panasonic can do this handheld, even on the S1R II, and everyone else bar Olympus/OM System can't even merge tripod pixel shift photos in-camera.

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

Based on my general experience in the software industry - this ultimately comes down to user base and adoption. Canon has a much larger marketshare with tether support across a large portion of their models across all of the major photography software platforms. BlackMagic likely prioritized user ad

I left Lumix for this reason. I had an S1RII, i really liked it. I've owned a lot of Lumix M43 bodies and when i did the initial FF leap it was with Lumix for brand familiarity, and i really really enjoyed the camera and lenses. Then as i was eyeing a bigger purchase for Lumix i came across a post i

Look at the price of premium M43 lenses though. They're not actually any cheaper than full frame lenses. I shoot both full frame and M43 on Lumix cameras, and the thing that pushed me to get a full frame Lumix camera was how ridiculously expensive some of the premium M43 lenses are. I've got a GH7 w

You don’t need AF-C 99% of the time if you are filming on a nearly flat plane. AF-S to nail focus, MF to hold it. Use a focus assist tool if it’s on that camera. I’m unfamiliar. Even my S1Rii is kind of lagging behind other cameras in its price bracket for autofocus. Panasonic autofocus just kind of

In short: Sensor won’t change the characteristics of the lens. Leica stuff is largely rebranded Panasonic stuff (largely, not all!) A Leica SL2 I believe is the same as the S1R.i, and I believe the LUMIX S Pro lenses are the same build / design as the equivalent Leica lenses in that category, coatin

The cheap camera will be something useless that no one cares about. I have a theory that the more expensive camera could be the small modern MFT camera everyone wants. A few YouTubers I follow have been mysteriously pimping out MFT all of a sudden. Being given GH7 by Panasonic to “test” out of nowhe

I've had this issue on both my S5 and now my S1Rii. The AF tracker is right on the eye, but upon review it seems to grab the brow, nose, or chin. In most cases it is fine and most non photographers wouldn't notice, but it does annoy me at times. Panasonic has made some great improvements on their AF

Not sure if my opinion is of any value to you, but I'm a former S5II owner. I took advantage of Panasonic LUMIX's trade-in trade-up promotion, which provided me a $400 discount on the purchase of the new S series camera and I received ~$850 in value for my S5II (varies depending on condition, mine w
