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

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

I’m seriously considering one of these. I don’t need PDAF nor fancy video specs/features as I just still subjects like landscapes, architecture, and urban landscapes. So I just need a good full frame camera with great colors and a simple design for a solid price. Being a Lumix user already, the orig

I use the S1R for wildlife photography and the autofocus is fine. I've never used it for sports photography tho. But if I can nail focus on birds in flight I think it will be fine. I think the autofocus on the S1 and S1R is made out to be worse than it is. It's definitely not amazing, but it's far f

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 recently purchased the S1R II and have been very very happy with it. I went back and forth on the S5iix, S1iiE and the S1Rii. In the end the extra MP and the flexibility to crop in post while maintaining high resolution won. I have been very happy with it. Pro-tip sign up for an account on the Pan

You won't have mirror problem when you use mirrorless camera. At this point in time there is almost no need for DSLR when tons of mirrorless options exist. and you can get an awesome full frame camera for a fraction of what Z8 costs. Look at Lumix (L-Mount) offerings from super compact S9 to flagshi

I’m primarily a Fuji shooter, but I picked up a Lumix S5II earlier this year. It’s a fantastic camera, though I definitely felt the learning curve especially with the live view. The “nature live view” mode and the lag you get when using slower shutter speeds threw me off. That might just be my own i

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
