Also super happy about the good performance with the Sigma MC11; it gives an affordable option to those who want the S5 II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if EF lenses are working well when adapted then this camera is a no brainer for a lot of people, including me.

What focal length did you use it at? 35mm? Do you know if it vignettes at any other focal length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It vignettes under 28mm in FF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their written review is worth a read as well. There are a few interesting observations in there.

Emanuel Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 People are eager this announcement for too long already, I guess. Seems a winner and irresistible too... to my eyes. - EAG :- ) PS: Many people have wondered myself straight on private. Hope my link to here to this EOSHD thread and the videos you've posted may clear up current and further doubts ; ) Beritar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Panasonic's AF is beating what was just a few short years ago the "amazingly best AF" from Canon, then we know these AF debates can be over. I believe God had mercy of us.

If there's any chance you'll someday want the $200 raw upgrade to the regular S5ii, it's worth just ponying up at the start and getting the S5iiX for these extras IMO. For sure : P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFilm Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 They seem confident that a Panasonic S2H is going to come along eventually: On 1/8/2023 at 12:26 PM, Trek of Joy said: Just an FYI, if you can get the EDU discount at B&H, there are deals to be had.

Kisaha Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 After deciding going full Canon this summer, now this! I have already investing in RF (3 lenses, 3 adapters and an R7) and I am now split if I have to sell everything and move to Pana.. R6mkII is still 3.200€ here, so is a no go for me for a middling hybrid, pricing of the Pana cameras seem just right and I am really impressed of what I have seen already. If the EF adapter works well, I seriously don't see why not most choose these cameras and slowly built their L lenses collection. That X camera seems like an amazing deal whatsoever.. Well done Panny.. GH6 and everything else seems a bit overpriced now.. don't they? Can anyone point me at any advantages the R6mkII have at this point? The camera is not out yet and we see just some marginal differences in IBIS and AF, I am positive they will be fixed in no time.. The active cooling is incredible at this price point. It will damage Fuji sales as well I believe. I do love the color science so far. I haven't pixel peep or anything, really, but I just like what I am seeing.. ..just..WOW Panny!

I almost did the same thing ! But I sent back the R5 and kept all my L mount lenses. The S1 (and S5) is great , yes the AF is very bad but IBIS and image quality are very good. I still have my GH6 but I'm very tempted to sell it before it loses it's value, I agree the it is somewhat overpriced and beside of very nice colours I don't like the image quality so much for some reasons. But it's the only Panasonic camera with 4K 120fps, is it why I maybe not ready to part with it. I never had the R6 or the R6II but for me the R5 had the advantages of 4K 60 and 120fps without crop compared to the S5II. The R6II has no crop in 4K 60fps but I still prefer what I've seen of the S5 II, even if the R5 and R6 were at the same price. The S5 II could be my favorite camera since my NX1. But if Panasonic adds 4K60/120fps for the S1II, it will be my perfect camera. ntblowz, Kisaha and Juank 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I am also thinking of either keeping the R7 or R5 and get the S5II, unfortunately I m fully into RF lens so might have to sell some RF to get EF lens too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I really feel fleeced by Panasonic on this. To release this so soon after the GH6 - why was this new PDAF added to the GH6?? Come onnnnn Emanuel, Kisaha and FHDcrew 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 "HDMI LATENCY TEST - If you turn off Sound Output Via HDMI in the menu the latency drops to 180 milliseconds." Ohhh, that's not so awful now! Unlike the earlier reports about the delay over HDMI. Juank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come onnnnn I sympathize with a lot of people that went with the GH6 for this reason, though it's just the nature of the beast unfortunately. The GH6 felt so long overdue at the time that it's hard to say this, but they might've been better off waiting until they could do PDAF before releasing it. Easy to say that now, though.

Al Dolega Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I wish we had some idea of sales numbers. Even accounting for the hype, it seems like this will be a very successful camera for Pannyboy. It'd be interesting to see what the sales numbers are like vs. their other cameras, and between the II and the IIX.
