Is the Lumix S1 Mark II really worth the extra $300 over the new Sony a7V? After being a die-hard Sony shooter for over a decade, I finally switched to Lumix, but I bought both of these $3,000 powerhouse cameras with my own money to give you a brutally honest, 100% unsponsored comparison.
In this video, we are keeping it a buck and looking at the video-first capabilities of both cameras. We are talking 6K Open Gate on the Lumix, internal ProRes RAW, overheating, display quality, file robustness, CF Express Type B vs Type A, and why the Sony a7V being stuck at 16x9 might be a total dealbreaker for modern content creators who need to easily crop for vertical video.
