LUMIX S1R

Over the past eight years, I’ve shot professionally with Sony cameras. I’ve used the a7III, a7IV, a7R V, and the FX3. They’re solid tools, no doubt about it. When Panasonic released the original Lumix S1, I decided to try it out of curiosity. I loved a lot about the camera, but the autofocus perform

The honest answer is…the z8 and z9 are better cameras for the wildlife purpose. Albeit they are very large. My S5ii and Sigma 150-600 came to around 2.5k..that’s less than one Nikon Z8. So I’d expect it to be the better camera. The sigma 150-600 is a nice lens, the autofocus is slow though. The zoom

I swear by these Zeiss ZE lenses, I have a good set with: 15mm, 21mm, 35mm, 50mm Planar 1.4, 50mm Makro-Planar and 100mm which are by far the best ones of the range. These haven’t been updated on the Milvus range (apart from 50mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.4). I have the Sigma adapter and I use it with Panasoni

Good points. On the one hand, it's like they're making these cameras for YouTubers who also do photography, and that's obviously a tiny market. On the other hand, many people try to get into that world, and it's not too hard to make a good hybrid these days. That said, I agree that the specialty vid

I think they confused this product with Kipons expander. This is a focal reducer, the image circle reduces to cover a smaller sensor. Some cameras for video have better performance using a smaller portion of sensor, such as not line skipping, higher frame rates, less latency, or having better compre

I think Andrew went from healthy scepticism to bitter dommerism some time ago. He seems to think of himself as some sort of a scorned LUMIX fan. As for the substance of his blog piece - LPS has been phased out for years in Europe so no, it's not an unusual move. can you imagine Nikon ending NPS or C

I also switched over to Sony due to lens selection – but I kept my Lumix for video and low light stuff. The Lumix S5 is a really great camera and it's round about €700 used in my country, but despite that, I switched to Sony with an used A7R3 because I wanted to crop more and the S1R is too heavy an

Second everything you said. Godox is nigh unusable with Lumix cameras. Found PCB better, but there is still some minor lag. Best way was to use the sync port on the S1R with the trigger, gave the least lag. In the end, for anything involving strobes or tethering I just use my trusty Nikon D750, beca

The GH7 is the flagship camera in the Lumix M43 lineup. Is has lots of features that need a high readout speed, fast internal processing and storing. The S5-II a simpler FF camera. It has a slow sensor, can't even read 4k60p from the full sensor. The S5-II is still a great camera and if your priorit

Man that s1R is a dream camera for me. What do you use your g9ii for? I have a g9ii that I used mainly with the pano-leica 12-60mm for documentary and street/ portrait photography . I just picked up a used s5iix with the lumix s pro 50mm 1.4 and find it to be beautiful for stills and video. So far t
