S1R owners in 2026, how’s it holding up?
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

What changes would you make if there was ever an S9 II?
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

Switching to Lumix S1RII (or S1II) for professional photography?
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

How are you doing with the flash on the s5ii?
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

Considering getting a S1r for general use photography as a back up to my S5ii, any thoughts
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

Is Lumix better for video than photography?
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

A7V released - 33MP partially stacked, 7.5 stop IBIS, new processor, $2900 USD - available for preorder
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

is it S1RII worthy for wildlife?
I guess it is a bit better since Mark2 series have improved AF a bit but per reviews its not miles better for bird/animal detection. Buffer is also really small. I think you gain a bit in other areas and overall its a better camera but it all comes down to the price you are willing to pay. I used Lu

Make this make sense, GH7 costs more than the full frame S5II
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

G9ii + full frame opinions?
The S1R cost less than my om-1. They have gotten pretty cheap used. If you can deal with a clunky slow camera with terrible ergonomics the a7r2 sensor is still fantastic today and you can buy them for around $600 (or at least you could back when I sold mine a year ago). I do prefer the output from m
