LUMIX S1R

Having owned the S1R and now the S1Rii, the original was a much nicer built camera, with great design touches, I much prefer it from a handling perspective. (I miss the top screen!!) But the S1R’s autofocus is pretty crap, if you’re doing static portraits and landscape work it’s fine but good luck d

First I would like to see an evf, better quality rear dial, a mechanical shutter, and a high resolution version. Maybe use the sensor from the Leica SL3 or the Lumix S1R II. For really sunny climates an evf is just better. It is extremely difficult to take pictures in the bright sunlight here in the

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

So I've heard a lot about these flash issues and they've made me reconsider staying with Lumix when I purchase my next camera just for flexibility's sake, but in my ACTUAL experience I have had no issues, and whether it will matter for you or not depends heavily on the kind of work you do. You did s

I actually did this a while back and if you can find a good deal on the S1R then I’d say go for it! It’ll make your S5ii feel like a toy though, it’s the best built Lumix camera I’ve ever felt and it’s so bloody comfortable in hand. It’s got so many nice features, Top LCD, backlit buttons, CFExpress

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

This is a very generell question.I think Lumix cameras are just as good as most others for stills. If you look at specific details, Lumix has a very good stabilization and the best HighRes modes. Others are better equipped for high speed sports and nature with very long and fast lenses.I think Lumix

There are three issues I have personally experienced. Major lag when shooting ttl mode and minor lag when shooting manual strobes with Godox, Profoto and Bowens flash (godox was the only system with ttl) inconsistent hss flash when using fastest shutter without hss, like 1/320 on S1r and 1/250 on s5

There’s always a trade off… I’ve been very happy with the S1R, and I recently moved to the S1II, so now I have a dedicated “action” camera and a dedicated “nothing is moving” camera, lol. 70 fps burst is nice but I’ll probably never use it… I totally agree though, lumix has had so much success with

The S9 feels like Panasonic’s shot at Fuji’s X100 VI, with a touch of Leica in its design. It is clearly aimed at people who are new to the Panasonic S line, at travelers who want something light, at street photographers who need discretion, and at influencers who want portability without losing qua
