Latest S1ii rumours

I hate these stupid instafacegrambook "stories". Dumb idea. But it does seem that there is something going on. What little can be seen of the cameras in use point to them being very S5ii-like.

I think the cameras we can see in the stories are just regular S5II or S5IIX cameras. You can prominently see the camera on a tripod wit Chris Niccolls and I don't think they would show a unreleased camera that way and then also the official Lumix channel would share that story.

That's most certainly only Jordan Drake's S5IIX. He using that camera for the pets pixel channel. I would think they only got the S1RII for testing and maybe got shown the other camera (and maybe a quick hands-on) but will get it later for testing. I think that's about how they have done it with the S5II and S5IIX.
 
No new day without new twist in the final days of the almost endless S1/R successor story.

Panasonic seems not to decided to not use the same sensor as the Leica SL3 for the S1RII. It seems Panasonic cancelled what should be originally the S1RII and decided for another sensor. That could also be the reason for the delay:

How2Fly reports that the Lumix S1rII will NOT use the same Leica SL3 sensor. Panasonic seems to have decided on a new sensor with a resolution below 60 MP! This is a rumor that I have also received in the last few days, but where I was confused and unsure about. The S1rII camera with

I saw the video. He says that the second new Lumix camera is able to do something better than the Sony, Canon and Nikon cameras at a much lower price. And it will shake the market and will get more market share for Lumix :oops:

Any idea what that could be? Better autofocus in low light with some lidar focusing system integrated to be able to focus in darkness? Or maybe the option to extract raw 16 bit photo files from video frames? Any other ideas?

If true, I would guess they have done something clever with the software, possibly introducing support for something like JPEG-XR, which I think supports very efficient methods of lossless compression and HDR/high bit depth image storage.

One of the issues Sony encountered in the A7RIV was the SD storage media wasn't fast enough to keep up with writing the huge files. To solve this, in the A7RV they added dual CF express slots. Solving the problem with faster hardware makes the camera more expensive to produce, and might increase power and cooling requirements. Also CF express cards are expensive so its another added cost for users, along with the cost of faster editing PC's and more storage space.

Makes perfect sense. Given Panasonic's focus on hybrid/video, releasing a 60Mp slow-readout, video-suboptimal camera that mimics the SL3 makes zero sense. My bet is on an IMX-366 based camera, as I suggested earlier in this thread. That would deliver 8k video, 45Mp, and great stills features for genres they are currently weak at like wildlife and sports.

Makes sense. But what will be the second camera? Maybe we will get a S1Rii and a S1RIIx?

Maybe the organic sensor with global shutter, as @Markuswelder said before? Z04 Breakdance.gif
 
I expect camera's with very good low light performance. Otherwise they would not have gone to gloomy Norway, but to South Africa ;-)

FWIW, there is a recent thread on this exact sensor in the Sony Alpha forum on DPR. Opening post asks "This seems like a good sensor - why are there no cameras using it?" Just starting to read it.

Never mind. Not much of a thread - just a few people talking over one another.

I did find a rumor video that suggest the Sony a7V might use the IMX-366.
 
Rumor update:

The S1Rii seems not to use the same sensor as the Leica SL3.

"The S1rII camera with 60 megapixels, which should have been announced last year, was canceled and the market launch postponed to accommodate the new sensor."
