True, but personally I’ll take build over lesser weight, ie, +300g for: higher quality build, better & larger LCD, damped shutter mech etc are all wins for me, but would I rather have them in a smaller & lighter body? If possible, sure. And I do. It’s called the Sony A7RV 😘 I had the S1R and S1H and currently have the S5II and the A7RV. Based purely on build, ergos, how they feel in the hand as lens platforms, I would place them: A7RV S1H S1R S5II IMO, the A7RV and the S5II (book ended here as best and ‘worst’ overall based purely on weight vs size vs build vs features, ie not internal spec) are the least suited to the bigger lenses and the more mid-sized stuff suits them better and then stuff like the A7CR, primes or compact zooms. Anything can work though of course, it’s more a case of what suits each of us. I think the SL3 is about the sweet spot in terms of size and weight. But doesn’t have the rear LCD I need which is where the S1H and A7RV score massive wins for me. So if any future S1R mk II, is anything around that size & weight with a rear LCD like the S1H or A7RV, happy days! -
I think the S5mk2 is about the perfect size for a pro camera, it’s not too big but it is big enough to have great ergonomics. I’d be happy with a S1Hmk2 with the same body but with a top evf and lcd (along with 6k 50p etc) -
...but by modern mirrorless standards it's quite a large and heavy body (from the left A7CR, A7R V, S5ii, S1R). The 1kg S1R is also about twice the weight of the A7CR. That limits the sales appeal of the S1x bodies to people who are prepared to live with the size and weight (and probably hands potential sales to Sony instead, hence Panasonic putting the S5 into a smaller, lighter body). -
This means that we will have a DOA camera with no possibility of sale. A Leica SL* in 2024 has reason to exist only because of the logo's appeal to enthusiasts and fanatics around the world. Panasonic has no chance. Sad but true.
