r/Lumix

Tengo un 35 1.4 sirui, creen que valga la pena cambiarlo por un Lumix 35 1.8??
Honestamente me gusta el 24-60 también, el diafragma no me importa tanto que sea 1.8 o 2.8. Pero es porque también hago videos, y busco nitidez y buenos colores también (lo digo por sirui)

Allows switching between multiple Adobe Camera Match profiles by changing the camera name.

For example, it enables users to activate new color profiles—such as CineLike A2, L Classic, and L Classic Gold (originally only for the S1 II and L10 models)—on the S5 II and older. It is also compatible with cameras from Sony, Canon, Nikon, and other brands.

Include CineLike A2, L Classic, L Classic Gold

I'm not an entomologist so I can't provide their names exactly, but if you have any questions, I can help

I shoot observational documentary. Long takes, quiet scenes, people just being. Nothing fast-paced, no sports, no run-and-gun news stuff. For that I use a S5IIx, 6K open gate, cheap Class I SD cards, two batteries, and I’ve put real money into good Lumix glass. It’s been working fine for a long time.

Then the S1R II came out with 8K and I started getting that itch. Then the S1 II with its semi-stacked sensor. You know the feeling, new specs sheet, new doubt.
So I spent way too many hours this week actually digging into whether either camera would change anything for what I actually shoot. Here’s where I landed.

The 8K on the S1R II sounds great until you remember it’s a non-stacked sensor, so rolling shutter is noticeably worse. Not a big deal at this stage...Anyway, I’ve literally never had a rolling shutter problem in years of shooting. Next…the S1R II only does 7.2K open gate here, not the full 8.1K. That number only shows up if you switch to 24 Hz system frequency.

The S1 II fixes the rolling shutter with the new sensor, but it tops out at 6K open gate. Same resolution I already have. So that upgrade gets me nothing, resolution-wise.

Both would force me onto CFexpress cards for the higher bitrate/resolution modes. It’s not even about card speed, it’s locked by firmware. My cheap SD cards that already work perfectly would become useless for the modes that supposedly justify the upgrade.

And both would mean rethinking battery life on long shoot days. Grip, external SSD, or a power bank setup. Right now two batteries just covers it. No extra gear, no extra cables and no Frankeinstein Rig…

My S5IIx has been an absolute workhorse. Outdoor shoots, hot weather, long continuous rolls, it has never once overheated on me. That reliability matters more to me than any spec sheet number, because a camera that shuts down mid-scene is a lost moment I can’t get back. To be honest, I am also aware that post-firmware 1.2/1.3 S1R II and S1 II fixed the overheating issues pretty significantly.

Yes, the newer LCD ergonomics are nice, and the bump in screen resolution is genuinely pleasant to look at. I’ll give them that. But a nicer screen doesn’t give me a better image, it just gives me a nicer screen. And I’m not out here squinting at blur on my current one. My footage is sharp. My screen shows me exactly what I need to see. That’s it, that’s the whole requirement.

Here’s the thing that really put it in perspective though: my image already looks stunning. And where does it actually go ? Digital. Streaming, social, client deliverables on a laptop or phone screen. How many of us are actually finishing on a cinema screen or submitting to a festival with a real DCP pipeline ? Realistically, almost none. And even then, what client is going to notice a few extra thousand pixels on a documentary about people’s lives ? Nobody’s watching a quiet, contemplative scene and thinking “if only this had more resolution.” They’re watching the person on screen.

What actually convinced me to stop was asking a dumb simple question: what problem do I currently have that either camera solves ? Not... “What’s cooler on paper,” what’s an actual limitation I’m running into. And the honest answer was nothing. Zero. My files are light, my workflow is boring in the best way, my footage already looks good, my delivery format doesn’t need more than what I have, and my lenses are already better than the sensor probably needs.

Spec sheets are built to be exciting. 8K, ProRes RAW, bigger sensor, nicer screens, that’s what gets clicks and gear-review videos made. None of that is the same thing as “this will make my work better.” A slow, contemplative documentary doesn’t need more pixels, it needs a camera that gets out of the way.

So I’m not upgrading. I put the money toward glass instead and I’m going back to actually shooting. Panasonic LUMIX, if you’re reading this: give me a body with a built-in ND filter (a game changer), a slightly nicer LCD (a bit of extra comfort for the money), and true internal 8K open gate (THE real upgrade from 6K for reframing) on decent, affordable media, and I may consider pulling out my checkbook. Please make it happen out of the box without waiting for a firmware for fixing multiple issues…

If you’re on the fence about a similar upgrade, skip the spec sheet for a second and ask yourself: am I about to shoot myself in the foot and regret this money later ? If the honest answer is yes, you already have your answer.

I saw this pop up but that for sure is not an S9 what is this camera.

Used the Lumix S5II and Sigma 150-600.

ISO 6400
F6.3
Shutter 1/200

Lightroom denoise software works amazing! Was very low light and everything was hand held. Bobcats were in the brush with their mom. Love the Southern AZ wildlife.
