  1. I spoke with the gentleman I buy my gear from at the local store here in Toronto, He is also pretty sure these are new post Tariff pricing! I'm guessing there is no point comparing pricing between brands until all of them raise to counter tariffs... (sigh)
  2. Are these prices reflecting Tariffs?
  3. The single most anything thing with the S5iiX is the 60p Crop, if the new S1ii fixes that, then sign me up for 2 bodies! (32 bit float will be the cherry on top)
  4. I'm saying this respectfully to everyone else's opinion here, but there is a lot of difference between spec and actual usage. The S1Rii has been a dream so far in use, sure the body is not as elevated feeling as the OG, but in actual use it's probably one of my all time fav overall. The sensor output is fantastic, See below, this was a random snap and just for fun I decided to see if it could be salvaged (excuse the messy house/ I have 2 little kids), Results are better than anything I've ever shot with except for maybe the GFX series, (but very close) As well the sensor for my liking just sings with my vintage glass, the portrait is with a 58 Hellios from a commercial shoot. I know they may be lack lustre on the spec page, but in actual use, they just deliver.... hence I have more Lumix's in my bag along with a canon and fuji!
  5. Totally agree, somehow the jump from 24-28 feels way more than just 4mm for me. 20-60 / 2.8 or 4.0 would have been very welcomed. I only got the 20-60 as a kit at the time of purchase, the body only was not available. I Figured it would just sit in the box until I sold the body, but surprisingly I have used it way more than I ever anticipated using a slow split aperture lens!
  6. You are right, I kinda missed that. Honestly, the part I don't understand is that most editors are now on Devinci, Yet no one would entertain using B-Raw, everyone is stuck on ProRes!
  7. There is nothing wrong with Braw, one bit! however EVERY single edit house we ship footage to only accepts Prores LT or ProRes, so it would have to be a transcode, which if you have time is not an issue (but then why shoot raw and not use any of it's advantages) but in very quick turn around situations when you have to hand off a drive, Braw is not possible! These are challenges where you are part of a much bigger production, but if you are a solo shooter and cut your own work, then it's absolutely not an issue!
  8. It's true, on it's own I think it's a fine camera and I've enjoyed it so far, but it is not a true replacement for the S1R, That camera felt much more elevated and bar non, one of my favourite so far!
  9. Sorry and thank you for the correction, yes the 24-70
  10. I'm running the camera and 7" Hollyland monitor off one V-mount, recording internally to a Lexar 512 silver CFexpress card. The camera battery is in the grip but fully charged. Camera is powered via usb-c and we are indoors so far about 20-21 C. The clips/takes are about 30 - 45 minutes each per interview. I *THINK* the overheating would be at extreme use, ( I have never had to shoot anything at 6k 60p or 120p in Pro Res HQ for 2 hours + in one take.....) but no issue so far with anything that I think is "normal" use!
  11. I'm going to keep this short as it's still early days. So far I've been very happy with my S1rii, the files (stills + Video) are really great, the C1 tethering (FINALLY) is great. It cuts with my two S5iix footage very nicely, and I haven't had a hint of overheating shooting 2+ hour talking head stuff, (4K 24 MOV) Battery hasn't been that bad or great for me! The RS is there if you move the camera very fast but nothing that I shoot requires that (YMMV). I can also report that the Sigma 24-70 L mount works perfectly on it, this is the first non brand L-mount on the Lumix for me and I had some concerns from reading some reports, but knock on wood, so far it's been fine! Overall, very happy so far.....
  12. The whole situation is kinda blowing my mind! (specially being Canadian)
  13. I pick mine up from the store on Monday, excited to check out my own files.
  14. This is the only way for me to test out a new camera, shoot along the normal and see how the new camera compares against the same footage!
