LUMIX S1II

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

By all accounts you can get a more organic image by shooting Pro-Res and Raw formats, but these come with huge file sizes. H264 and H265 file sizes are so much more reasonable for so many workflows - and I have also noticed the difference going from an S1 / S1H to an S5II. Up-voting this because its

if you are mainly looking to shoot video, the s1ii is the clear best choice. for photography s1rii has higher resolution and better evf while a7V has better af, less rolling shutter and slightly better dynamic range. if you are going to shoot photos as much as video, the a7V might be the best option

S1II uses a partially stacked sensor, with faster readout speeds and CF Express card (OP confirmed they used CFE). With electronics, faster usually means hotter. It could also have a new processor, memory or other components that run hotter than the components in the S5 II. If Panasonic didn't enhan

Hi, first of all I'd like to point out that based on your description in your post you can't go wrong with either of these great 2nd generation LUMIX cameras. If I may I'd like to share with you why we chose the S1 II over the S1R II. We tested the S1R II for a couple of months side by side to the S

Some people are pointing to the dual gain output in Dynamic Range Boost mode, but that’s not it. Even with that disabled, the S1II has a good stop or so on the Z6III. I’m not an expert, but I believe this comes down to two things. S1II is taking longer to read the sensor. I’ve heard the S1II uses a

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

including a new sensor. But OP wants opinion on the S1IIE which has the same sensor as the S5II(x)? https://www.dpreview.com/articles/7326492092/panasonic-s1iie-vs-s5ii-video-handling-comparison Panasonic recently announced the S1IIE, a full-frame camera that has the same sensor – and therefore simi

It really is mind boggling why they've decided to go that way regarding the processing of the image. Especially since they got it absolutely spot-on right with their original S cameras. I own and use S1, S1H and S1 II and that particular aspect is rather painful when you compare footage. However, I

I own or owned lot of Panasonic full frame and m43 cameras. To my eyes, the S1II has the worse colors, by example a lot of time when I look at my footage, I think the greens look off and it is not only because of the white balance.The S5II had nicer colors on my opinion, the first firmware of this c
