I'm using the original S5 for quite some time now. Since 2021 actually. But as the used prices for the OG S1R came down a lot, I spontaneously purchased the camera for a little above 800 €. However I'm not quite sure if I want to keep it or if I have done a mistake and should have saved for the new one or better should have opened for a S5II instead (would be about 200-400 € more).
Why I bought it:
Better all around hardware (EVF, Screen, Shutter, etc.).
And of course higher resolution.
My concerns:
Is the AF for people on par with the OG S5? Theoretically it uses the same algorithm, so it should be. But maybe I missed something.
What I forget to think about:
Cards! The S1R uses a XQD/CFxpress type B slot additionally to SD. Any recommendations about that? Can I use any CFxpress B card or only older ones?
Thanks for your input!
