Parkour? Skateboarding? Urban climbing? I'm not sure why any of these need their own AF mode. Maybe they should fix some of the basic AF modes first.

Rumors New Lumix camera(s) on May 13th?
- Thread starter dirk
- Start date
At least you will have the option to buy one of the new models. Living in the U.S., the new models will either be unavailable or priced out of reach, unless and until the tariffs on Chinese goods come back down to earth. It was fortunate for me that the first S1Rii shipments made it into the U.S. before the tariffs hit. The new S1 models are a bit late to the party. I suppose I could ask my brother to bring me one from Norway on his next visit, in which case I will only have to pay moms (Norway's VAT). I never thought that European value added taxes would seem like a tax break!Sounds like the S1iie would be the one I was hoping for h if it is in a Knaller body than the original S1.
Good timing for me to buy the S1Rii a week ago....

Very interesting: looks like the S1IIE has more or less the same sensor as the S5II(X).S1IIE, officially announced in Brasil:

And no BRAW... But does have Apple Prores Raw.

It looks like the S1Rii has a much better sensor than the S1iiE, if I understand the Brazilian site correctly, that is more or less the same sensor as the S5ii(X) have. But ofcourse the price is very reasonable for that.Even the EVF is with 5.7MP the same like in the S1RII. Panasonic is smashing the market with this trio S1II, S1IIe, S1RII and of course the older S5ii/x and S5.
I wonder whether I would have bought the S1RII, if the S1IIe would have been announced already...
I might be more interested in the standard S1ii, but for me the price is too steep at launch.

I wonder, might this be a 'standard' people recognition mode, but sticks more on the subject when a lot of other people are present?
That would be really interesting...
That would be really good. At the moment, I do not know any AF system from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji or Olympus, which is reliable with this. For sports photography like soccer etc this is very important.

No, but I probably made already too many photos....
I have to think about it. The reason why I bought the S1RII although it has more MP than I normally need is that I can crop with 40MP for sports photography. But this is only 5-10% of my use cases. In 90% of the cases 40MP is too much for me.
It seems that the S1RII has the same AF level. I looked at the same website for the description of the S1RII AF and found this:
Sounds basically the same. Therefore I should really experiment more with all the different AF settings of the S1Rii.
For those of you, who want to see how the screen of the S1II and S1IIe looks in tilting position, here a screenshot of the one of the S1Rii

I am guessing that someone made a mistake, making this website available before the official launch!S1IIE, officially announced in Brasil:

I will be keen to see how the S1II differs from the 'E' version.

Different sensor, partially stacked, which offers 4K-120fps and a lot of other resolution/fps combo's. Less rolling shutter.I am guessing that someone made a mistake, making this website available before the official launch!

Perhaps slightly less dynamic range. Not really an issue for video, but might be for photos.
I hope BRAW, but I'm afraid it won't...

Thanks John.
So perhaps 'E' stands for 'Economy' version, i.e. standard sensor same as S5II/x models but will have nicer body features, e.g. better EVF, tilting LCD, etc. That would suit me fine!

I am looking for any reason (feature, spec, etc.) to "upgrade" from my S5ii and S5iix to the S1iie... but I have not found any yet... I don't know, I am confused... maybe the screen and evf?
EVF, tilting screen, CFexpress card slot (if you have always many images), slightly better grip (but chunkier body), probably better AF (if the chip is better)
I can not not say anything about the video spec differences.
Read my other thread about the S1Rii from the perspective of a S5ii user.

Also better mechanical shutter (10fps mechanical) and probably burst options with 14 bit RAW.
But I also think, the premium is quite high, considering the market price of the S5II is about the half of the rumored S1IIe price.
