Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 22 Administrators Share Posted March 22 I need this... It would save Panasonic for me... Full frame, premium rangefinder better than a7C, better than S9, big EVF, Fuji styling and dials, photographic monster that happens to do perfect 6K open gate too with the usual Panasonic features. It would save them in the photography market and get them back on track in a big way. Full frame GX9 please! Ninpo33 and Juank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted Saturday at 09:08 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:08 PM Slightly chunkier, better built and with a bit more design flair than the S9. Yep, I’ll buy it. Probably… The S9 is my run & gun video unit for 2025. I don’t much care for it for stills however. The Fuji RF I was hoping might be ‘The One’ and it’s close, but no cigar. A7Rii & C have great sensors and size, but ‘fail’ in various other regards for me. Essentially take the best qualities of the above 3 and mash them up and spit it out as the LUMIX S-RF camera. I wish… Juank and Ninpo33 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine of the S1Rii had come out with exactly the same specs that it did but in a proper range finder style body with EVF... People would have flipped out. All of the RS issues and other niggles would have been downplayed because people would say, "well, look it's a proper rangefinder with all the right features but wow, it sure can do some sweet 8k video" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted Saturday at 10:06 PM Author Administrators Share Posted Saturday at 10:06 PM It's exactly what they are missing, some flair, originality, photographic heritage and a bit of X-Pro-style charm. Even better if it took design cues and materials from Hasselblad X-Pan or a Fuji TX. I mean seriously who REALLY LOVES an S5 body? Not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted Sunday at 05:52 AM Share Posted Sunday at 05:52 AM Leica, Hasselblad and Sigma seem to be the only one’s making ‘want it’ bodies these days, for me anyway, but an honourable mention to Sony for the FX3/30. Fuji kind of with certain models, Nikon and Canon less so though at least they are trying with the Zf and Canon’s supposed imminent rival. But Lumix, nah. Innovative in some of the tech, but not the actual chassis which are all very pedestrian. But do they need to be simply functional and that is it? No. Folks like pretty things. Come on Lumix, give us a pretty thing, an S1Rii in a rangefinderesque body 🥰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
