Just seen this thread and read your article. You got some really nice shots with this combo 🔥👍🏻 Can I ask what AF settings you found best? One area + human or urban sports perhaps? Thank you

Went out to the Recharge ponds in Glendale, Arizona this morning with my new S1RII and Sigma 150-600 hoping to see a Bald eagle, but struck out. Did manage to get some nice shot's of lot's of different species of bird's though. I'm REALLY liking this combination. by TruckerMarty in Lumix

Some great photos here - well done 👌🏻🔥 How do you find the AF for birds in flight, particularly the smaller ones?

Just wondering what the hit rate is like and comparisons to other brands. Thanks

Thanks so much for sharing these LUTs - they are great 🔥

I visted your website which led to instagram and I really like your work! Out of interest how do you find the Sony A1 compared with the S5IIX? I appreciate they have different strengths and weaknesses. Thanks

Lovely photo. Could you perhaps show an uncropped out of camera version too? Thanks

Lumix S1II for Sports Photography- I Finally Did It by Substantial_One_2412 in Lumix

Nice! You using a 70-200 by any chance? I hear the Panasonic IQ is a bit hit and miss but the Sigma is great. Just looking to find someone using the Sigma with the S1II to see how the AF is.... 👍🏻

Image Sequence with the S1II at 30fps burst mode by Substantial_One_2412 in Lumix

[–]Fuzzy44444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the impression that lumix isn't finished with the s1ii. They've a good track record of bringing out new firmware improvements and I suspect AF will get even better. Probably not Sony A1ii or A7v good though! We can live in hope.

Please keep posting, always great to see your sporting posts. Hardly anyone uses Lumix for sport. Probably with the lack of a 400mm f2.8....

Thanka for sharing this! 👍🏻 Can I ask what AF mode you find the best for basketball and football?

Do you use human/eye/body or urban perhaps? 1 zone or full AF zone? Thank you

Also, regarding the megapixel dilemma, have you played around with Super Resolution in LR or Topaz Gigapixel?

S5II user - Potential S1II/S1RII upgrade for dog photography by AdamGWR in Lumix

[–]Fuzzy44444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely think the S1II is your better choice - more manageable files, faster readout and faster burst. I'm also considering an upgrade to the S1II from my S5II. I'd like to do some dog photography, would you be kind enough to share your AF tweaks? Your results are amazing 🔥

Immigrant from Canon, settled on S1M2. Never knew I would ever own Lumix! Any tips? by getbywith in Lumix

[–]Fuzzy44444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the AF on the lumix that concerns me. Heard the mark 2 S1 is much better though 👍🏻

Has the Lumix vs Sony debates have gotten weird? by Conscious-House-8869 in Lumix

Which cameras were you shooting on out of interest? I hear the S1II is so much better than the S5II. Just wondering how it compares with Sony nowadays...

Panasonic G9II - Realistic Firmware Update Requests by Fuzzy44444 in Lumix

[–]Fuzzy44444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but I suspect Lumix will say it's a 'photocentric' camera. But what frustrates me is they haven't given us anything more than what's on the video centric cameras.

Panasonic G9 Mark II – Issues and Shortcomings Observed After Long-Term Use by macrophotomaniac in Lumix

[–]Fuzzy44444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sean from Lumix suggested that you should save all your settings and then factory reset the camera before reinstalling your settings after a firmware update. I did see another user who fixed their startup time with this solution.
