Hello fellows,
my name is Niels. I´m trying to participate here with my refurbished school English. Let´s see if it works...
Since 2009 I have been a user of Panasonic´s MFT, starting with G1, followed by G2, GH3, GH5 and G9 as the main bodies. Currently I am still using G9, GX9 and G110 with a bunch of lenses.
2021 I entered the full frame section with the stunning S5. After a while I felt to need a 2nd body, so I purchased a Sigma fp which turned out to be not usable. It´s not a bad camera but operability and AF performance were significantly worse than the S5. So it had to go. Finally I got a used S1R for a decent price, and that giant became my 2nd body.
After the release of the S5II I had tested it for 3 weeks, but it didn´t convince me in terms of AF performance. I am no videographer, so I couldn´t benefit from the better AF. Photo-AF didn´t seem an improvement to me. I checked it with BIF and was really disillusioned about the new "Phase-AF". As I didn´t need 3 fullframe bodies, the S5II had to leave.
I´m still hoping that Panasonic will bring out an improved AF, faster sensor read-out and animal eye detection. But nevertheless I am contented with the S-series.
My lenses: Panasonic 20-60, 70-300, 35/1.8, 50/1.8, 85/1.8, Sigma 28-70/2.8, 150-600 and 135/1.8.
