Here is the revised version of my “Kodak Gold” LUT. The download file contains two versions: one normal and one version, which is slightly faded (Camera: S5 II / S1 II).
7Artisans is teasing a new lightweight, all-in-one APS-C autofocus lens that fits in your palm. Here’s what we know so far:
Featherweight 180 g body — slips into a pocket or hangs from a bag, letting you leave the brick at home
Three focal-length options tailored for street photography
APS-C autofocus design
Available for multiple mounts
Might be a good companion for the Lumix S9 and Sigma BF even if it’s APS-C only. We’ll update as soon as the full specs, mount list, and pricing are official.
After four and a half months of daily professional use, Dorn To Film calls the Panasonic Lumix S1 II “the best mirrorless camera I’ve ever used.” It bridges the gap between hybrid and cinema cameras, offering image quality, ergonomics, and workflow tools that make it feel almost cinematic.
He highlights the new flip-tilt screen, higher-quality LCD, more custom modes, and dramatically improved autofocus and IBIS over the previous Lumix S5 II series. The faster readout speeds make handheld anamorphic shooting smoother, while color fidelity and tonality are noticeably better — “more life, less digital.”
He praises the low-light performance (dual ISO 5000) as competitive with Sony’s FX3 and A7S III, but with richer color retention at high ISO. Open-Gate 60 fps recording, internal ProRes RAW, false color, and CFexpress support round out a spec sheet that rivals cinema bodies. He also loves the ergonomics and value for money — “no other brand packs this much in for $3,200.”
The few downsides? No optical low-pass filter, no dedicated time-code port, no 32-bit float internal audio, and some overheating in hot sunlight unless you manage thermals carefully. Still, he believes firmware updates will fix it soon.
His conclusion: If you’re a working filmmaker shooting weddings, corporate, or commercial projects, the Lumix S1 II is one of the best A-cams on the market — cinematic image, strong low-light, and hybrid flexibility in a single body.
The official CP+ 2026 venue map is live. Explore it on the CP+ venue map page, and here’s how the largest booths stack up by footprint, using Sony as the 100% baseline.
Booth size comparison (relative to Sony = 100%)
Booth size doesn’t equal quality, but bigger footprints usually allow more hands-on areas, stage talks, demo zones, and smoother traffic flow—useful for brands planning busy schedules or broad product lines.
