FX30 or FX3 or something else?

An S1ii costs less than an FX3 and outperforms it. If I didn't have Sony glass I'd take that over an FX3 or FX30 any day (I'm still shooting Sony with over 1k paid gigs done on an a7siii/FX3 so not a Panasonic shill, just being objective)

S1Mii body drop to $2356 during the june Promotional Campaign-but still to expensive compare to its competitors

Genuinely confused as to how you could get this so wrong. The S1II and the A7V are the same price currently in the US ($2899), The R6 III is $100 cheaper, Nikon Z8 starts at $3100 used on MPB, and the A1 starts at $3400 used. At $2356, the S1ii a DEAL. Let's break this down: - Photography: all the b

Thoughts on Lumix S5iix for video vs what I currently use (Nikon Z8)

Hey there! Full time business photographer videographer here. Looks like you’re hitting the limit of using a hybrid photo camera for long form video. The Nikon Z8 is an incredible camera, but some would say it isn’t built for hour plus continuous recording, especially in a theater environment. Readi

Best video camera worth buying the MOST currently in your opinion?

I can only speak to full frame. If you don't need the ABSOLUTE best in autofocus, and want to avoid breaking the bank, the Panasonic S5IIX does absolutely everything well. One step up in price will give you a big step up in performance to the Panasonic S1II. Another step up in price will give you an

S1II 60fps 14-bit RAW?

That’s just so wild. $300 more for literally double the speed with the S1II. And somehow Panasonic isn’t taken seriously for photography.

Worried about Panasonic at the International Broadcast Conference

Definitely not! Panasonic is used quite widely amongst content creators and is seen as THE value proposition. The S1H is still one of the only hybrid mirrorless cameras in the Netflix approved camera list and with the S1ii we are now getting Arri log. Let’s not also forget that the L mount alliance

It finally happened: RedxNikon

For the price, the features you get are absolutely insane. “Back in the day” (2015) I spent close to $30K on a RED Epic Dragon that pretty much has the same frame rates and main resolution combinations this tiny little camera now offers for less than 1/10 the price (if we look at things as body only

What body should I upgrade to? Concerned about moiré issues when shooting commercial work with the S1 II. More details in the post.

First of all, congratulations in advance. I understand your concerns. However, moiré is not a problem unique to Panasonic. New sharpening systems mean higher sharpness. When you add high megapixel counts to that, moiré inevitably becomes an issue. As you mentioned, Canon cameras have an OLPF filter,

Based upon improvements in their "S" cameras over the past 2 years, could Lumix become the Arri and Sony the Panavision of their market? In the feature film market, Panavision once dominated and Arri was mostly seen on lower tier indie productions Now, it's rare to see a Panni on any set.

I assume Panasonic will buy Arri. Nikon started implementing raw video then bought Red for next to nothing in the grand scheme of things. Arri has liscenced their version of log to Panasonic. If that deal turned out ok I could I don't see why it wouldn't go further. At this point I don't know if any

Insane price drops: why?

Yeah cannot beat S5II for 1300€ brand new. Next best thing is Nikon Z6II for 1800€ and that’s A7IV money at that point. I think Panasonic is looking for market share. Only reason I got a6700 is for APSC format, traveling, lightweight and AF for sports and wildlife. If I wanted to go FF nowadays for
