New Panasonic S1-S1R autofocus test by Richard Wong

Richard Wong:

*** This video is based on a pre-production Panasonic Lumix S1R running pre-production firmware 0.7 ***
The Panasonic Lumix S1/S1R are both photo oriented cameras, so in this video I’m going to test the S1R’s photo mode single autofocus performance and also compared it with the Nikon Z6.
The reason of comparing the two cameras is not to find out which camera autofocus better, but it’s to use the Nikon Z6 as a reference to show you the autofocus performance of the Panasonic Lumix S1R (and S1)
So how does the S1R performs and compares with the Nikon? Check out this video to find out yourself

This is the first Panasonic 50mm f/1.4 S real world review. A stunning performance!

On top you can see the new Panasonic 50mm f/1.4 S on the left followed by the Sigma ART, the Nikon F and the older Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens. We all did wonder why the new Panasonic lens is so big and also so expensive.

Richard Wong tested the lens and gave us the answer:

The performance is impressive! So yes, it’s big  and expensive but you are also getting the best 50mm f/1.4 lens on the market!
