This faggot got bootyblasted that Panasonic didn’t fly him out to wine and dine for that stupid crippled camera they released a while back. Then he went on some hypocritical “reviewers should not accept manufacturer perks” crusade that no one took seriously. And that’s after Sony dropping him as a shill which he was for years. Mans had what the kids call “a crash out”. Funny shit.

>>4450756
I like him because his tantrum confirmed what everyone already knew

Influencers are required to lie directly or by omission in order to receive free shit from brands

>>4450759
Not even, it was plainly visible as a lash out to being passed over for the perks rather than a moral awakening or something. If panny had flown him out you’d never have seen that video. And it doesn’t need confirming anyway it’s well known, only pajeets and children believe these chuds are all somehow objective

>>4450768
Ah I see the panasonic marketing department has hit 4chan again

>>4450795
>panasonic needs to shill their products
X

>>4450798
ah yes the other panasonic shill on this godforsaken board

>>4450803
Panasonic products shill themselves by filling niches no one else does. Where's the S1H killer? I don't see it.

>Panasonic products shill themselves
LMAO. Even DPreshill is bought off now.

>>4450810
Who the fuck cares about the S1R?

>>4450810
They lie, they lie so hard

>>4450807
The niche? Pixel peeping video. Seriously. If their contract with leica is ever up they're going to go out of business.

They make the only mirrorless cameras with autofocus that can be fairly described as unusable. As in, $2k-$4k price bracket, <30% hit rate.

>who the fuck cares about Panasonic's flagship camera released in 2025
Hopefully Panasonic would at least. Certainly don't expect the board's dumbest poster to though.

>>4450814
The niche is artists, cinema

>>4450820
Well, artists have to same some garbage cameras to destroy to get the tough shots I guess

Actually just reminded me of something. The S1RII release in particular had some of the most blatant Panasonic shills between youtube and forum comments. Just do a CTRL+F for "AlfonsoX" here and see how they don't even try to hide it.

Account was likely deleted since the shilling was too obvious.

>>4450827
That's just a fanatical panafag much like fujifags and snoyboys here. Honestly a bit pathetic to simp for any brand like that, but at least the cameras are good unlike Sony and Fuji who haven't made anything worth buying since the S5 Pro.

>>4450834
I hope panasonic pays you well

sounds like you're trying to cover for your buddies. unfortunately it's not difficult to find the rest of them.

Really makes you think

>>4450840
whoops forgot the link for that one
https://www.dpreview.com/members/2763805978/overview

And the best part? S1RII's pixel shift is broken. No wonder our resident panasonic shill want us to forget about the S1RII. It's the most disastrous camera release in the past decade.

>>4450844
I simply don't care about high res mirrorless cameras, the point of mirrorless cameras is video. For stills, there's DSLRs. The joy of reflex as cANON would put it.

>>4450840
>>4450844
fuck wrong link
https://www.dpreview.com/members/1516033926/overview

In any case, it's certainly interesting how quickly our resident panasonic shill immediately comes to their rescue as soon as something even tangetially related to them pops up on this dead board. The saddest part is this is the best that Panasonic can afford.

>>4450795
>if you don’t truly believe Gerald that he had some genuine change of heart and not just making a malding reaction video, you MUST be a Panasonic shill.
Honestly gotta be one of the weirdest fuckin takes I’ve seen on this place, and we have canon dropping something more ridiculous with every post

>>4450838
Every single panasonic release comes with their shills titling every video "better than canon and sony" but it has yet to happen outside of their shills videos

Props to tony northrup for having the balls to be the only initial s1rii review to call out the autofocus tracking working but not the actual focusing part and throw in some cheeky takes like showing normal shaky handheld footage and calling it "gimbal like" (that is the ACTUAL lumix IBIS performance, their shill vids are made by shaking the competing cameras and trying really hard to hold the lumix steady if not using a gimbal. how do i know? i saw one being made.)

Imagine how much of a mentally ill loser you have to be to unironically search through online photography forums and stalk peoples comments to screenshot them to your hard drive and then repost them here

>Nooo stop exposing my shilling!
/r/Lumix is that way bub

>>4450880
The only thing you exposed is your insanity.

Don't respond to me or my posts EVER again, cineschizo

>>4450889
You're the schizo though and you made it clear throughout the entire thread

Ah I figured out why the shills are in overdrive currently. Seems like there's been tons of reports over the past month of even the S1II overheating (previously only applied to the S1RII), which I find hilarious since somehow this is occuring when recent Panasonic cameras all have built in fans.

>>4450908
Panasonic should have died instead of olympus. Their shitty mft cameras had failing ibis and motherboards.

>>4450869
Which account was yours again?

>>4450926
Their older, smaller grips (also see: the first a7c) were unironically way better. It was like the minimal grips on film cameras where your right hand felt no expectation of actually supporting the camera and just stabilized and controlled it.

When they made the grips bigger, their ergonomics stopped making sense, and they lost sight of what made mirrorless desirable in the first place. I don't think sony was ever meant to try to make the best cameras. They should have been like a full frame fujifilm and made cameras that accepted the compromise of pursuing smaller designs that look like modernized film cameras.

Leave making the most technically perfect cameras to nikon and making the sports photographer/videographer cameras to canon.

>>4450933
>noob camera co’s sucky ergonomics
But THENNNN

>>4450953
This thing's a design disaster. This video explains it well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAuOsNmBfEQ
Nikon makes technically perfect cameras, and technical perfection can't fit in a small camera.

>>4450965
>menu diving vs physical controls

>>4450965
4 of the complaints are solved by using a grip and an appropriate adapter
the other complaint is just he prefers a mode dial to the ISO dial

>>4450979
You only need to use the actual text hierarchy menu on the nikon because it has so many features

the a7c has no features and no reason to use the menu, unless you are a videotard. it just has 3 dials on the back and minimal buttons so you can get to the focus modes and ISO stuff. it's peak sony. just a digital camera. only use zeiss lenses for max sonyness. meanwhile nikon baked in a super resolution scanner, time lapse movies and focus bracketing.

>>4450982
the grip makes it a z8 sized faux-retro camera.
the controls just aren't well designed or well positioned. nikon doesn't even have aperture rings, so the camera makes zero sense overall.

>>4450827
>shills between youtube and forum comments
I wonder how large this industry is.. that is the shilling on the interweb forums and comment sections. It is rather insane the things I've witnessed and the types of shills I encounter. During the covid scam they probably paid hundreds of thousands. In another industry that receives massive grants I have found networks of fake users with a long history of "uploading videos" which usually just consists of "gaming footage" with no identifying behavior such as the use of voice etc, always VERY generic non-identifiable and it is clearly not because some 16 year old super mario fan is using his OPSEC knowledge. Channels with fake subscribers, friends and what have you in this network made to seem like they are friends sharing interests all made to give the impression that some subject has more followers than in reality.. and now with AI I am sure they will be able to run these old networks more efficiently to seed discussions to give a favorable impression of whatever product or political bullshit they are trying to sell.

OP, why did you post your school bully?

>turns out the official youtube guide to recommended encoding settings says basically the same things and is much more detailed
Are you a fucking muppet that consumes whatever X Corporation tells you without giving a second thought? Like seriously, do you turn off your adblocker just because Youtube tells you to?

Testing to verify shit is accurate is a fundamental part of the scientific process, which is why papers published without peer reviews go straight to the fucking trash. It's truly saddening that there's so many more dumbasses like you living in this world.

What are you on about?

S1HII release must be imminent if Panashills are trying to discredit one of the few goytubers that stood up against their employer. Probably overheats like crazy just like the S1II and S1RII kek.

>>4450753 (OP)
I genuinely don't know how you cunts watch photography youtube (or youtube at all desu). The only good one is Simon D'entremeunt but he's so beginner oriented there's no point for most people to watch him. Snappiness, Tom carlton, are some of the worst shit ive ever seen.

>Are there any actual experts left on the internet? They seem to be all retards
You don't need second hand sources, you're better off studying primary sources. Better that than primary sources that have been incorrectly interpreted by a retarded pedo professor and regurgitated into the mouth of some main-character delusion based boy, who then gets ChatGPT to optimise said incorrect knowledge into a script designed to peak newgen engagement numbers.

>>4451389
>Everyone that points out issues with Panasonic is a Sony shooter!!11!!
Don't you Panashills have better things to be doing right now, like you know damage control with the S1II?

>>4451364
It probably has dial, IBIS and motherboard failures galore if it's actually used for more than a year (unlikely, no one uses a panasonic for more than a year) and the autofocus still doesnt achieve acceptable sharpness for resolutions over 1080p, but panasonic has the tracking nailed down and just makes the box green 90% of the time whether or not it is in focus so the reviews demoing the tracking still look good.

Price: $4000

>>4451389
Because it seems like you're losing what little FANboys you have left. Get it, FANboy? Since the fans on the S1II are pretty useless?

>>4451389
Panasonic isn't a competitor to sony at all. That's like saying timex competes directly with tag heuer.

Panasonic shills SAY it competes with, and beats sony, and then start rattling off video codecs, but the market share numbers are telling even when not broken down by camera type. If they were, I suspect the tiny amount of market share panasonic has would be dominated by small sensor compacts.

I saw this thread right after watching his video from last year titled "camera reviews need to change" and your comments made me go watch his Lumix rant videos from 4 months ago.
With the context of both videos, it's pretty clear that he wasn't upset with Panasonic because he wasn't invited to a press event.
For anyone who doesn't know this guy refuses to review cameras at press events. He tells the company he'll go to them but they're not getting a review out of it and he'll only review the camera if he gets sent one and can review it at home on his own time. They're not getting a review out of it and he'll only review the camera if he gets sent one and can review it at home on his own time. That's been his policy for years and you can see it when you look at when his reviews are posted months later than all of the other embargo group reviews from the press event.
With him and Lumix, he's already had a bad experience in the past where he reviewed the sr1 and despite giving it a glowing review, because he used the word strange in the video title he was not given access to the SR 1 II and was no longer invited to press events. When he pushed them on it they said that they could possibly loan him a camera for review if he told them what the title of the video would be before he had even seen the camera. According to him, it gave him the impression that they are more interested in getting positive reviews than honest reviews. He uses Sony as an example of a company that loans him cameras regardless of what he says and invites him to press events despite refusing to review the new product featured at the event. On top of that, Lumix even called him and let him know that they would not be inviting him to press events because they didn't think he would give the camera a positive review.

tldr Lumix is trying to curate positive reviews with early access for reviews and paid trips/press events, youtuber mad

>>4457614
No one buys loomix regardless

I see a lot of barely used ones go up for sale after each release and the usual "BETTER THAN CANON AND SONY!" review flood. likely almost every single one that was sold to the few people that fell for it.

>>4457698
>No one buys loomix
that's a good thing for me, a non-gearfag. I bought a comfy S5 in perfect condition for 600 eurobucks last year and I really like it (I only use it for pics). The stuff from more reputable brands holds its value too well for a cheapskate like me
