Yeah I get what you're saying on all counts. I do what you describe there right now, and generally the S1H is the A-cam, mainly due to the S5 ii's lack of OLPF and moiré issues in interviews. I'll take the S5 ii around for cutaways and so on as it's way lighter and you can do touchscreen focus pulls. The hope is that an S1H ii would add the AF, with some improvements, and hopefully not add any bugs LOL

Have you tried using a 1/8th mist? That has been my go to throughout ‘23 on the S5ii and no issues. The S1H does just have a (slightly) nicer image but the 1/8th evens it up a little and seems to fix most if not all moire issues. I might just get a battery grip for the S5ii and sell the S1H battery grip and then I can flip around their use ie make the S1H my run & gun workhorse and the S5ii can do static and gimbal. That should fix my use case dilemma of having them currently in my non-preferred roles…
