Pros: Ergonomics, high iso hold, colors, dual xqd and sd slots, battery

Cons: Weight but relatively

Opinion: Recently taken to replace the Sony a7iii and for this reason I write what are my impressions and my comparisons to bring out the differences between brands a little more popular and others more mistreated ..... First held iso: if in this area the Sony a7iii could say its the Panasonic Lumix S1 goes even further.... I shot at an opera concert in Milan at 12,800 iso with more or less the same noise that the a7iii had at about 8,000 iso. A truly incredible hold as well as a greater color hold. Ergonomics: we don't really talk about it... it looks like a glove and having had a G9 I found the same arrangement of buttons, of course it is heavier than the a7iii but the greater ergonomics does not make me feel it too much weight. Viewfinder: even here that we talk about doing, the comparison is merciless, as well as going beyond the license plate data the colors of the viewfinder of the s1 are very natural. Video functions: even here the comparison is merciless, Panasonic wins big and with a much better stabilizer. Battery: here the Sony certainly does better but not so much, but it must be said that the battery of the s1 is larger as mah so here Panasonic must improve. Video functions: even here the comparison is merciless, the S1 wins great and with a much better stabilizer. Autofocus: if we talk about single autofocus the S1 does better and the photos in focus with the contrast system are really in focus while with the a7iii sometimes I happened to have photos not perfectly in focus; in continuous autofocus my impression is that there is more precision in tracking the eye / faces in Panasonic rather than in Sony where the Sony certainly has more speed and shooting cadence. As well as in tracking animals or subjects in rapid movement here Sony wins but for these areas I'm waiting for the s5ii just announced that seems to work wonders. Concisely..... being more or less at the same price new I would think about which one to buy, in my case I preferred the S1 after a few months with the a7iii, certainly the compatible lens park for Sony is wider but that for Lmount is expanding rapidly thanks above all to Sigma.

Pros: Camera with exceptional performance.

Cons: AF to improve

Opinion: A camera that allows you to use, both for video, cin the paid software package, that with photography, has no problems on high ISO an exceptional color rendering, the software, although a bit complex, quite intuitive, firse a little heavy but also no, if we go to consider the DSLR SLR, allows you to shoot in any situation and when you do not have time and desire to set steps to AI mode and solve in any situation, even the most critical, allows you to shoot video, in addition to 10 bits in the room that the 12 bit outside, continuous shooting without detachment in full HD, has video emulation in APSC and in 1-1 ratio, the 6K, although then little manageable on a PC (normal) but beautiful to see on a 4K TV, I could write for hours on this camera, it satisfies me in everything, even if the AF system does not give me as much as hoped in situations a bit 'critical light and for sports photos, it improves so much with video shooting, I am satisfied with this camera. Ps. For those who complain about the cost of the XQD I simply say to evaluate the reliability and speed, compared to the SD, personally I would have preferred two XQD slots, the camera has an important cost you can not complain and deserves to have a valid and reliable support.

Pros: Sensor, viewfinder, ergonomics, robustness, L-mount mount

Cons: Autofocus not great in some rare situations

Opinion: As soon as it was taken in hand it was immediately love. To begin with, a feeling of solidity never encountered before (I used Nikon), then the handle that fits perfectly with my hands, the exceptional ergonomics with all the keys and rings right where they need to be. Bigger and heavier than the usual mirrorless, but this is an aspect that I consider positive. Let's talk about the viewfinder: here we are on a level that is completely "different" from what we have seen so far, it is something FANTASTIC! It is very close to the pentaprism, realistic, fast, faithful colors and a vision that makes you forget that you have "a screen" in front of your eye. I don't think you can find better on the market, certainly not in this price range. The sensor: here too we are close to perfection, with its 24 Mpx without "anti-aliasing" filter it returns a very beautiful and detailed image, with bright colors and a very natural complexion. The yield at high ISO then is something incredible. "Noise-free" files up to 10,000 ISO, then it starts to appear. The much-criticized self-focus is actually an excellent system, which only in rare circumstances shows some limitations. In most situations it hooks well (even in low light) and is very accurate. The gust is not "sporty" but is adequate for all other genres. For me, who prefer portraiture, it has no limits. The L-mount mount: one of the strengths of the machine, it allows you to mount lenses of the same Panasonic but also Leica and Sigma "dedicated". The autonomy: here too a great job has been done, we are not at the levels of the SLRs but still we have a very "generous" battery. In conclusion: A machine very close to EXCELLENCE, excellent sensor, top ergonomics, robust and that makes you want to shoot ... All the time! Rating 10.

Pros: fabulous viewfinder, af with more than satisfactory 1.7 firmware, well-proportioned body and controls, high iso rendering, beautiful photo file, great monitor, battery life in line with the latest mirrorless although the competition an evf so at the moment if you dream it

Cons: xqd slot that forces an important outlay for media of at least 128 giga,

Opinion: I deal with ceremony and I come from Fuji who over the years has satisfied me and of which I am still fully satisfied for a thousand reasons, starting with the very high cost/quality ratio of xf optics, to the point that I still kept the Xpro 2/3 kit with three fixed. I wanted to take a ff with two fixed optics that I feel most in tune with for the way I photograph, a 35 and an 85, discarding Sony ( I had for a year a Sony a7 R2 great machine but never took the feeeling with its file, despite the color profiles I bought from the great Raamiel) I was intrigued by the S1 they are giving at an excellent price with the 24/105 f4, but I was still undecided due to the lack of availability of prime optics and the lack of confidence I have in Sigma Art adapted to L mounth with that horrible hoof. Having read the review that precedes me of my friend Alfonso Alfieri and after sending him a message to get a professional opinion from those who use the machine for work, I decided to try it from Fotoema. First impressions in the store just taken in my hands: it seemed to me to have returned to the D700 both as a weight and as a footprint, the machine falls into the hand perfectly, commands all at your fingertips, feeling robust, massive, nice monitor.. then I approached the eye to the eyepiece and then I realized that I was looking at something superior to everything I had so far tried in the mirrorless field.. a spectacular viewfinder at that point all doubts fell and taking advantage of the excellent price I took the combo with the 24/105 and the 85 f1.8 Lumix, also spectacular optics that I will review apart. The file of this machine is beautiful, workable without problems, Excellent dynamic range, absolutely satisfactory jpeg on camera, the raw (there is no possibility of Raw compressed lossless) weighs around 35/38 mega, fully supported by both Acr and Capture One, the combo with the excellent 24/105 is perfect, despite being F4 at full opening gives a blurry voucher to medium focals, autofocus updated to the latest firmware has no problem, face recognition and reliable eye. What I did not like, but it is understandable the choice being a hybrid machine also dedicated to Video, the very fast xqd slot that forces an additional expense of a couple of hundred euros for a 128 giga, for those like me who are used to the double backup slot for security. Overall it is a machine that is satisfying me every day more, that at the price with which it goes away today you have to do more than one thought, I think I will take as soon as the Lumix 35 f1.8 comes out.

Pros: Construction, Spectacular Photo File, Auto-focus improved a lot with the new firmware 1.7 especially in video, body, reliability, the viewfinder is a fairy tale

Cons: Maybe the battery life

Opinion: My opinion will be long, also because those who know me have tried them all but, for three years now I have decided to stop and address a product specific to my video and photographic needs. To say that I am a former owner of GH4 and GH5 spectacular machines for video, for a very short time I owned S1H and here it is useless to talk about it but I took it off because my biggest problem is that being a photographer and videomaker I never went to invest in two machine bodies, until the day I decided to sell everything and buy a machina that would allow me to have some excellent photos , in itself of excellent performance and that included a good video compartment, and so I move on to Fuji X-T3 and X-T4. Today for my future projects I am thinking of buying a machine that has a Cine profile and therefore I will project myself towards Blackmagic but in the meantime the bee-c sensor had to be tightened to me given my decision and anyway until the time of purchase I always need a machine that allows me to make videos of a certain level . I was not confident precisely because coming from S1H and , testing the fact that the self-focus both video and photo was scarce I was a little reluctant, but the moment I learned that everything was solved and improved to the great with the advent of the S5 on the market or made the step. I purchased this machine and immediately updated the firmware to version 1.7 is I have to say that now it has no rivals, the photo file is spectacular and of great quality, I bought it with the 24-105 and the new 85 f1.8 " and that we talk about it to do " the video sector is not really that of GH5 nor even that of S1H " logical " but with the V-log installed kids there is little to do , Panasonic in the Video world has always loved its users giving a product that allows you to create things that other brands dream of, I tried them all but here is a whole other planet and we do not talk about it now with a FF sensor but then, the 24-105 to f4 a crazy blur and a quality to sell and envy. I will certainly take Blackmagic but it is even more certain that I will take another S1 for my kit.. It is to buy absolutely
