Panasonic S1R II – Great spec, dying brand

The year is 2025, and there are too many cameras trying to do the same thing with the same image quality. Most of them look like work tools or office paraphernalia rather than artistic tools or cameras. I am a bit bored of it all to be honest.
The S1R II is YET another Sony a7 series clone with no soul. The image is lovely, the specs are fine, the price is lower than an Sony A7R V or Nikon Z8, yet Panasonic have lost what made them unique in a sea of alternatives.
FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA announced – Fuji enter cinema camera market

Fujifilm have announced their entrance to the high-end cinema camera world, utilising the same sensor as their medium format flagship camera, GFX 100 Mark II. As anyone with a GFX 100 II will tell you, Fuji went completely overboard with the video and cinema features – with multiple crop modes to support a wide range of Fujinon lenses. Now this is all going into a dedicated cinema camera body, the same as pictured above.

This clearly isn’t long term viable and I am starting to wonder if Panasonic have soft quit the market.
For those expecting a high resolution R1, or something just generally more advanced, all I can say is… Wait a bit longer.
