So, does this mean an MFT lens lineup revival?
Idk what camera you are using but my om-3 autofocus is a lot better than my Lumix s5ii and about 80% as good as my canon r8

Which full-frame should I buy? Nikon Z6 III, Panasonic Lumix DC-S5IIX, Canon EOS R6 Mark II, and Sony Alpha 7 IV.I often shoot portraits (fast AF, great bokeh), travel (compact, versatile lenses), and groups (good sharpness, dynamic range).
Well it's good you mentioned affordable lenses because that cuts out Canon. The Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is a great fast lens that's well priced and light. Should help keep the price down from getting zooms and primes. They're for Sony or Nikon. Lumix have the kit lens 20-60mm and the new 24-60mm F2.8

Beginner dad: What’s the best hybrid camera hybrid (S9 vs other options) for my situation?
I use my camera almost exclusively for family life. 10 bit video, reliable human tracking and good stabilization are the main things to look for in a hybrid dad cam. I wouldn’t recommend an OM-5 or GX9 for your use, because they both lack 2 out of the 3 things I mentioned above. I’ve owned an E-M10

S9 Purchased
Got this in a few days ago after using an S5II for a year now. I got it to replace my B-cam, which is a S5. I've gotten addicted to using LUTs and the Lumix Lab app so the S5 wasn't quite cutting it in terms of ease of use as I had to use the old Sync app to bring stuff over and manually apply LUTs.

Full circle, FX3 to S1 II then back to FX3.
Did pretty much the same thing a year ago with the Lumix S5ii. Got caught into hype and grass is greenered my way to Lumix. Missed Sony superior autofocus and customizing features. Sold my Sony kit at a loss for Lumix, realized Sony is my system, sold my Lumix kit at a loss, and bought back in to So

Which Lumix full-frame camera do you recommend for wedding photography?
As the one who converted from G9 myself, something like S5II will suit you just right and will improve autofocus because it now has PDAF instead of just DFD on G9. I did use S9 at first but really missed EVF, so took advantage of this Best Buy deal, that gets you S5II, 20-60 kit plus free 85mm f1.8

My first cine lens
I think 7Artisans makes fantastic low budget Cine lenses. I shoot on an S5iiX, and I currently own only one 7Artisans: the 14mm Spectrum Cine for L-Mount. It's a full frame lens (I believe the Vision series is APS-C, yes?). Regardless, they have a fantastic build quality. The focus throw is 270 degr

Problems with the S1II
The AF part- 100% my experience (with s5ii at least, the s1ii should be only tad better). The “wide zone +tap to track which actually works and doesnt loose subject” mode on sony is ideal for run&gun/ events and panasonic just makes you concentrate on checking if the focus didnt drifted off instead

Considering Switching to Lumix from Fujifilm
Fujifilm has more fun factor for sure. I really like the user experience. I traded an x-s20 for an S5II. I have also owned an X-H1 and X-T30 II. I do miss the smaller size and more affordable lenses, but I didn’t really care for the film simulations and if you mainly develop raw files, I will say th

Q: What’s the single best thing AND the single worst thing about the LUMIX S9? Let’s get a discussion going…
There are many different types of wedding photographers. Documentary photographers are very popular in the UK these days and are often very discreet and won't interfere with the day at all. I carry a Domke F5xb bag (tiny!) and two S5IIs with a 35 and 85 prime. I'd say 70-80% of shots are completely
