It looks great for me anyway. 47.1mp too - perfect for my work.
Yeah, looks a great camera, AF is the only question mark as contrast only.
For landscapers it's probably enough. I could make do with it and with live view/focus peaking etc MF would work. I know it's not for everyone but for me it stands out as very viable.

What does this offer you that say a D850 wouldn't for landscapes?
To be fair probably nothing other than the ability to mount Leica Glass - and I have lots of F mount glass so a D850 seems a logical progression from the D810's and D800 I have.
EVF for low light / WYSIWYG / IBIS / Focus peaking / Fast live view / Magnified Focus and if the reg distance is suitable the ability to mount your Nikon (or any other) glass until you can buy or fill gaps.
Not features that are really needed for landscapes though.

Not? I would've thought they'd be useful in most forms of photography, especially seeing exposure (incl with filters), dof, live histogram, IBIS, magnified focus and on sensor AF accuracy. How is that not useful in landscape stuff?
If you're doing Tripod based landscape photography, which in the context being discussed here with Steve I would say is 99% of cases, there is no rush and you take time and care using live view to check critical focus, histogram etc.
I'm not doubting they are all useful features, just not specifically for landscape photographers.

To be fair EVF isn’t my bag but if it’s decent then yeah. Most of the time I use live view on the SLR when it’s on the tripod and you can zoom this to 100% preview and focus accordingly. Usually though the AF (I use single point) gets it bang on - particularly for distant scenes.
Truth be told it’s much of a likeness really. I’m sure in the Pyrenees/Alps/Dolomites/Scotland where I shoot id get on with it
5.76m dot EVF is going to be superb.
I am curious to know if Sigma will release adaptors so my EF mount Art lenses will work on the L mount.
Or just buy a macro lensThe 24-105mm caught my eye, it offers 0.5x macro capability which is very very nice.
In comparison Sony does 0.31x and canon does 0.24x.
Canon is the shortest, Panasonic is 10mm longer and Sony is in the middle.
But canon is the heaviest, Sony lightest and Panasonic in the middle.
They all take 77mm filters.
Sure but i rather not have to carry a separate macro lens on travels (in fact I don't) which is where such a lens on a high megapixel sensor comes in very handy.Or just buy a macro lens

I was thinking the same. The em1x is a hard sell.
I believe Olympus have said that the EM1-X is a tech exercise rather than a product that they expect to sell in large quantities. The trouble with that is if you make such a statement it really needs to be top notch, and I’m still not convinced AF will match the top DSLRs, or even the gen 3 A7’s, but time will tell. Also, why all these crazy FPS these days, 10 FPS is more than enough let alone 60, I mean who needs 60fps????
Bit late to the party but I’m a bit underwhelmed by the frame rate on this, 5fps if you want continuous focus. I thought Panasonic might give Canikon a big slap across the face with this camera but from what I can see I’m not sure why you’d choose this over the Z7 or EOS R? (Except for the dual card slots )
I wasn't aware of the 6k photo mode, I'll look into that . I guess if you're into video then the Panny makes more sense, I never shoot video though so always overlook those statsThere's always the 6K photo mode which gives 18MP files at 30fps
Video for the S1 appears to be significantly better than both the Z6 or EOS R, it also has a stabilised sensor which the EOS R lacks. Coupled with the dual card slots it appears on paper to be a no brainer over at least the EOS R.
The EOS R will of course sell a magnitude greater than the S1.

It's true, the EOS R is the worst of the bunch (imo) yet will likely sell the most
He's carrying the back up bodyI've had two cards fail simultaneously. Where is your God now?
He's carrying the back up body
Doesnt mean he can't want 2 though.You don’t need a bloody 2nd card slot. You just darent admit you’ve got market driven paranoia.
I’ve lost more images to people walking into my shot at the critical moment than any gear failure, I think I’ve actually lost 2 images to card failure in about 100,000 shots.
tbh I don't think the panasonic will sell much same as samsung NX1 and for similar reasons.
but let's wait and see...
Panasonic has just launched two completely new full-frame mirrorless cameras - are they that underwhelming?
Unless you’re into video it seems all the new FF mirrorless are quite a bit behind Sony, and as such it’s very difficult to get enthusiastic. The only thing they’ve done better is the ergonomics, why Sony insist on keeping the gap between the lens and grip so small is beyond meIt's very quiet around here. I was expecting to find hundreds of new posts on the S1 and S1R.
