Latest S1ii rumours

Yall all know in a few days... Chill.

Whatever it is I'm no buying and no lust either, a 60 MP sensor will have compromise. Wait 10 years and then see

From what I've seen looking at raws from the SL3, it delivers lower noise than the current 47Mp sensor.

Leaving the AF topic aside, the major weak point of the S1R sensor is the crazy noise when taking longer exposure pictures (e.g. 10sec) at ISO 1600 or above. I eben send once my camera to a Panasonic service center and the did the full treatment incl changing the whole sensor unit. But still the noise is really bad. If some is interested I am happy to share a few picture.

An S1Rii with a similar sensor like Nikon has in the Z8/9 would be fantastic.
Perhaps the 2nd camera coming later is then the S1Hii based on the S1Rii but with active fan etc the stuff required for taking 8k videos the whole day long under harsh conditions.

Even at base ISO, if you go pushing LE exposures the chroma noise gets to be an issue. The S1/S5/S5ii are much better in this regard.

It seems like we will not get a new 60 Mpix camera. But that that sensor would deliver very good image quality, even at higher ISO. Hopefully Panasonic don't trades to much Image quality for speed.

If there’s 2 cameras due, I’d be surprised if at least one of them wasn’t using the 60MP sensor. If they bought bulk for an SL3 joint venture they’d probably be locked into some sort of purchasing contract.
