Latest S1ii rumours

He's an angry negative man

You need to blank him out like I do and others otherwise they affect your mental health. Besides I don't give a shit about his opinion anyway

On YouTube select 'don't recommend this channel' and it's supposed to not turn up again... but the algorithm is a joke and doesn't work for me anyway.

If I could get a screen/general/media filter to 100% block a certain aging sociopathic narcissist I would buy it for my mental health.

Looking more closely at the specs, it looks like it's not using a stacked sensor. Whilst the readout speeds, video modes, and FPS are definitely better than the S5ii, it's clear that the S1Rii will lag the Nikon Z8, Canon R5ii, and the Sony A1 - all of which use stacked sensors. None of this bothers me for what I do, but I suspect when the reviewers make comparisons with these cameras that this point will be well made.

It will be interesting to see the performance, mainly rolling shutter. Here is where we are now.

Lumix S5ii. 22ms. @4K​

Sony A1. 16.6ms. @8K​

Canon R5. 15.5ms. @8K​

Nikon Z9/Z8. 14.5ms. @8k​

Lumix GH7. 13.2ms. @4K​

it seems the S1Rii is better than the S5ii. Will it be as good as the stacked sensor cameras? We will shortly see a flurry of YouTube reports for the S1Rii. These may comment on rolling shutter, but will probably not have the setup to measure it accurately. Cine D always measures this, along with dynamic range, but they often report several months after the camera has been shipping. If Gerald Undone is back in the good graces of Panasonic North America he might measure and report it sooner than this. Or maybe someone else.

One of the things I love from this design, is the dedicated photo/video dial.

It is easy to set up the S5/S5II/S5IIx so it automatically holds your photo or video settings when you switch between photo and video modes. I've explained this in the past, but most Panasonic users don't seem to know how to do this.

It's clear why I'm selling the A1 if I get the S1Rii. I have the GH7, and will use this for any sports photography, both for the small rolling shutter time and for the smaller lighter telephoto lenses. (And GH7 has the 1.5 second pre-burst feature.)

I'd say more a smiling assassin. Doesn't worry me, I take very little notice of his type anyway, that Northrup dude is another lol lol

So only thing for me is the decision of marketing to call it S1RII. For me it is a S5R with great features, but not a "1 series". Maybe we will never see a new 1 again, but with this decision there will be at least no big flagship in the midterm future...

Eh, who cares? I sure as hell don't.

Flagship is as flagship does. And this camera, if rumors are correct, sure does. That's what matters.

I admit I'm biased. But I would far, far rather see flagship functionality fit into a smaller body than see another flagship body that's too big and heavy for me to ever be comfortable with it.

The mere mention of 'video' makes several users blood run cold and gallop away to the hills on an imaginary horse

I do avoid their reviews and the podcast now as they just irritate me. I did watch the YT video presented by Jarron comparing iPhone with gimbals vs the Osmo. That was interesting and I thought it was fair and balanced, and I learned something.

Yes, true. The smiling presenter is a façade.

Why the circular eye-cup on S1 versus rectangular on S5 cameras?

Why oh why oh eye?

Well, if it's not competitive from a rolling shutter standpoint, most will ask "why not use the 60 MP sensor?" Particularly if there is a stacked-sensor body on the way.

Hopefully this won't be a "neither fish nor fowl" body. Like Paul, I'm not overly worried about rolling shutter, but if it does end up being a problem for those who care, then I would indeed ask why they didn't go with the 60 MP sensor and at least make some of us happy.

Soon we shall know.

FFS it does has fast read out, it's the IMX366
