Sony to Lumix S1II — Here’s the Truth

In this video, I share what it’s really like to use the Lumix S1 II coming from the Sony FX3. From its 6K Open Gate recording, anamorphic tools, and beautiful EVF/screen, to the challenges with autofocus, rigging, and the Lumix Flow app, this is my honest experience switching between the two systems. If you’re considering the S1 II, or wondering how it compares to the FX3, this breakdown should give you a clear perspective.
