Will Panasonic ever offer a 61 MP S1R Mark II ? I love the image stabilization and color rendering of Panasonic.

Sigma FP-L vs. Panasonic S9, hmmmmm... I'd be down to see that video comparison...

They probably use the same sensor just different baked colour profiles. It's all about post profile recipes. Just with the sl3 is easier to get to the pleasing end product

Wait till you try the video on the 24MP FP. Yes, inconvenient with massive CDNG files, but footage grades beautifully. Some of the best I've used.

Do a comparison between S5-II and Nikon Z6III

The FP-L can be had for less than $1500 used too 🤯

On the fp L you have to wait, unfortunately, for the buffer to clear to playback photos (once the blinking red light stops). After taking a burst it can take quite a long time. It's equipped with a UHS-II slot but doesn't seem to make use of it outside of cinemadng video mode, and I'm not sure why. I've tried a v60 uhs-i card and a v90 uhs-ii card and they clear in the exact same time. I've always been hoping for them to add a fix to that, which should help writing times, but it doesn't seem likely.

I like sigma

What about the Leica SL2-S VS SIGMA FP 24 MP ?

Hi, you want to try the Fp, 24mp and a beast in video making and low light situations. A real gem. For me, the only problem, as you mention, is that indoors it becomes impossiblt to take photos at fast shutter speeds without getting terrible banding... However, in video, if you get banding, you can set the shutter to 360 degrees and boom... magically, banding dissappears. I found out by trying everything while shooting my last music clip, it was a great discovery. Thanks for your video and your. work. All the best

I really love the concept of the fpl. A super tiny camera that is modular. I want one but not having reliable autofocus makes me hesitant. What I’m thinking is someday getting a lumix camera and a sigma camera and sharing lenses.

The user experience is worlds apart. I love the idea of the FPL, but in practice it was a real challenge: without the EVF, focusing is a pain; with the EVF, it's ungainly. Battery life is not great. On a plus side, I loved the panoramic mode. I have Leica M and Q cameras: I'm sure I'd love the UX of the SL3.

I choose the b pictures 😅

Still patiently waiting for S5R :/

I criticized the S9 a lot, but in the end, I bought it and I like it. I think it offers the best of both worlds, although I miss the EVF. My preference is still for a tilt screen rather than a fully rotating one, or one like the A7R V. By the way, I would have liked the S9 to have 60 megapixels so I could use APS-C lenses and have smaller lenses, although you can also do that with the current S9, but you end up with 10 megapixels. I hesitated a lot with the Q3, but since I already have the S1R, Z8, and a whole bunch of other cameras, I preferred to keep it simple and go with the S9. I shot a wedding with the S9, and people really liked it. I haven't had any banding issues so far, except when the official photographer used a flash, which overexposed the top of my photo. It's a shame that the Fp L is so slow because it would have been a good alternative, but I can't stand a slow menu. (Even when the S5 II powers on, I find it too slow, so if the Fp L takes forever to display an image, it's complicated.) So, for me, the price of Leica cameras today is overrated, and I was ready to get a Q3, or even an SL3, but when I got to the store, I preferred to get a Z8 with the 50mm, 85mm f/1.2, and 135mm Plena. €6000 for the body is too expensive for me. I got the Z8 to "replace" my S1R because it's really overdue, and I find that Lumix AF is still not at the level of Canon, Nikon, or Sony. Sorry for going off-topic but between the two cameras for discreet photography, I would still choose the S9.

Still waiting for s9 with sigma contemporary series.....

Lol. To my eyes, B looked better 😂

It seems like a fun comparison to me: but seriously, do you think it's accurate? What's the difference between a 500 and a Mercedes? It's the same type of question: with both, I can travel the same road, right? But there's a 20,000 euro difference. Then, the same argument should apply to the Canon RS1 or the Nikon Z9: but speaking ill of Leica is fashionable.

The Sigma has a better image quality

B 🙂

Really ??? You come up to this now 😂

I have two Sigma FP and one Panasonic S1H. I would never buy a nonfilm base Leica as they are just a badge in the digital age. If I want the bells and whistles I will pick up my Nikon gear.

This just proves that Leica has gone backwards for their color science from the great SL color to the mediocre SL3 colors. 😅

You dont buy a leica just for IQ. Leica is an idea, a special item you desire. Price is irrelevant here

Just buy a Canon 5D classic and forget about the stupid Leica
