Post here if you've ordered an S1Rii

I'm keen to see who is going to get the S1Rii. Post here if you've pressed the button, and why !

I just did a pre-order. In my case it will replace my Sony A1. Also it will be a big brother for my GH7.

Done. Not 100% convinced that I will follow through, but overall it seems like a home run.

My main reasoning for ordering an S1RII: I want a single body that can do hi-resolution landscape, wildlife that moves (for which the hi-res sensor is also useful), and astro.

Secondary reasoning: Better shadow recovery than the S1R, and all the bells & whistles of the new body & app.

What would cause me to cancel the pre-order: Do I want 60 MP more than I want speed? Do I want to switch to MF?

Also: If I convert either my S1 or S5 to full-spectrum for astro, that eliminates one of the reasons for buying the SR1II, since I would then not use it for astro. In that case, do I just accept the AF limitations of my existing S1R for wildlife, and drop the pre-order for the S1RII?

That all makes sense George. Have you had the chance to look at any raws yet? I guess the shadow recovery should be better, but it would be good to know for sure.

Not yet - it's the workday for me right now - but I did look at part of Richard Wong's video and it looks pretty good so far.

Another question for me is - how good are the electronic shutter exposures for fast moving pans and/or subjects for stills? Is there noticeably more rolling shutter effect than, say, the Z8?

Our "friend" Gerald Undone is very critical about the rolling shutter...
