Pros: Finally on the S series a high-performance and reliable autofcus, excellent file quality, super video. Value for money of the system (using Sigma lenses) unattainable by other brands

Cons: The problem of per-flash latency also persists on this version. Unfortunately, the star filter (present on the first series) is missing

Opinion: The S2 significantly outclasses the previous model in every aspect, the autofcus is finally adequate, the quality of the file, already satisfactory, has now increased noticeably, the photos are perfect and do not require post-production. The videos are a lot of stuff (I'm not here to describe the improvements already widely documented). The pairing with the sigma 24-70 II is fantastic. Unfortunately, with the TTL mode, there is still the problem of the delay between the pre-flash and the flash (I only use the manual mode)

Pros: Solid, extremely good sensor, wonderful videos and photos, very good AF, IBIS that works well, fans, menus and usability with a thought behind even if very articulated, price / performance.

Cons: High rolling shutter, battery not adequate for the power, no sensor coverage if you remove the lens.

Opinion: This, together with the zve1 and z6iii, are the machines to buy in their respective price range. the colors are similar to those of Leica for obvious reasons. Park of optics that is starting to be interesting, for those who want a hybrid FF that works as Christ commands this is the camera to take. It holds well in the hand, great robustness and safety that brings home the result.

Pros: Superb image and video quality, high resolution at 96mpx, very good AF, high ISO, excellent dynamic range, excellent stabilization, tropicalized, good LCD visibility, well positioned buttons, menus, very good ergonomics, construction, touch at the level of high-end smartphones, choice of codec, in-camera LUT, Opengate, pre-shooting, live painting, good electronic burst 30, multi bracketing, detailed RAW, price

Cons: The first ignition takes up to 5 seconds after which it turns on immediately, lens closing cap, there is no sensor cover during lens change, suffers from moirè in certain situations, undersized battery

Opinion: After having tried it far and wide I found few flaws (see CONS) with which you can live without fear. I think we can talk about a multi-purpose professional machine with intelligent solutions that allow, as in my case, a considerable saving of working hours in the post of photos and videos. I felt very comfortable with the AF. I don't take sports photos but I read about photographers who are satisfied with the camera in this area as well. It is not afraid of the night, in fact it is a shame not to use it at night given the combination of high ISO and dynamic range. Among the gems there are: - landscapes and still lifes in high resolution at 96mpx (even without tripod) with RAW assembled in the camera; - the in-camera LUTs that often solve flat light situations and others give that extra touch that in PP would require several minutes of editing; - Opengate that from a single take it is possible to obtain different video formats; - Pre-shot to capture the exact moment; - Multi Bracketing that even allows you to take a series of photos at different apertures; - the Light Painting mode that allows you to obtain portraits and emotional still lifes that are difficult to obtain in PP; - In many cases, the gimbal is no longer necessary. In conclusion, considering the high quality photo and video, the construction materials, the ergonomics, the various software solutions and the price, the 10 is well deserved.

Pros: Stabilization rated 10, file rated 8, autofocus rated 9, ergonomics rated 9, video capability rated 10, viewfinder rated 7.

Cons: Battery rating 6, AI not decisive, RAW development in the camera rating 6, beware of high ISO noise danger (for those who, like me, are used to the performance of the Sigma fp).

Opinion: I bought it and I have no intention of changing it, also because I have a sigma fp that has opposite qualities and defects, so the two cameras compensate for my needs. To those who were to enter the mirrorless world, I would not recommend it and I would invite you to consider Sony/Canon. To those who are already in the L Mount consortium, perhaps I would say to wait for a more performing model (as far as photos are concerned, because on the video front it is a higher-level camera. P.S. The April 2024 firmware has improved auto focus significantly.

Pros: Price. Solidity. Ergonomics and control arrangement. Functions. Stabilization. Classic (great) FF sensor file.

Cons: A big and heavy wire. Not generous battery. Lack of sensor protection. Original lenses sometimes expensive (70-200).

Opinion: The first sensation, opening the box, was to have taken a bigger and heavier car than usual. The design is square, essential. My last FF was the Sony A9II and, although there is not an abyss on paper, the feeling is that there is a noticeable difference. As all enthusiasts know, AF tracking and eye/face recognition are not as performing, but they work quite well. The battery is definitely less capable (I would say it takes half the shots) and lacks sensor protection. Obviously, we are not in the stacked sensor band. The disadvantages for me end here. Because, in my humble opinion, the S5II is equivalent or even superior in something else. First of all, it costs less than half. This also reminds me that the comparison is improper, but I had that and I referred to that. The ergonomics are much better. The physical commands are the ones I've always wanted and are very well put. The AF control with mode dial (AFS, AFC, MF) and central button for areas/tracking is convenient and intuitive. The three buttons behind the shot have a decreasing height and are easy to memorize and find. Finally, I go back to not moving my eye to look for a command or a menu. There is also the touch screen and here it works very well, we are at the level of a smartphone. The file is the classic and excellent / workable file of the full frame. As far as I can tell, I don't see any difference in terms of workability compared to the Sony file. It seems to me very similar to the A7III that I had before the A9II. My presets that worked well on the first, also do it on the second. The problem is that at the moment C1 and other applications do not see this format/model. It will take a few days. With Luminar and ON1 I had no problems. To give me a feeling of greater confidence, also contributes the stabilizer which is far better than that of the A7III/A9II. Only with the Olympus OM-1 and the Lumix GX-9 (two MFTs) I found better and we are not far away. The machine has all kinds of BKT, has the HR file and everything you can read on the Panasonic website, of course. What I can say is that everything is easily understandable and well put on the menus. In addition to this, I point out two intelligent things for me: the viewfinder can be easily switched to B / W (perhaps wanting to focus more on contrasts but without altering the shot) and there is also the night mode of the display (monochrome red) for those who go out for the night and maybe another enthusiast is next to it. It produces files of about 30Mb in raw. It has no advanced compressions (without losses) but with 30Mb you still work well. I'm using it with a Sigma 16-28 2.8 and the combination is fine. Unfortunately the 24-105 Panasonic F4 I arrived defective and I await the replacement. I know it's also very good for videos but I don't do any and I'm not able to say anything about it. I think I've rediscovered the taste of photographing without having to deal with half the time of the camera.
