The problem with Panasonic the focus system is not as good as canon and no where near the quality of lenses. The camera body is only $2300 so it’s the cheapest thing compare to the RF glass coming. 14-24 f1.4 I mean who else is going to deliver that, nobody not even close. I’ll be happy with the next Pro R if it has IBIS 40mp 8-10fps, cause as soon as it comes then I’ll be buying pretty much every RF lens cause they all sound amazing, what other camera company you can say that about. What RF lens coming out doesn’t bring excitement. You’ll be able to use all your ef lenses for video with the nd filter. There’s millions of people just waiting for the lenses to drop and a pro body and you’ll see everyone switching back. Panasonic 50mmf1.4 is huge compare to the RF version and the RF is f1.2...anyway have fun with your gear
The latest FW 0.7 was tracking well and sensitive to -6 EV. No pulsating and they just updated to version 1 so will see. Canon AF isn't the best anymore. I think Sony new AF system is the best if I absolutely care about AF. I don't even need the best AF system like Sony to take decent picture either so ability to use eyeAF and AI tracking is already more than enough for me. I used to shoot with Canon 6D with focus and recompose.
Panasonic 50 1.4 is a very nice lens from what I've tested and seen sample so are their other choices I've tried. I've been really happy with Sigma Art glasses like the Sigma 105 1.4 Art and 135 1.8, Sigma 14-24 2.8 Art, 14mm 1.8.
The new lenses are very nice but none really tempt me for the type of photography I shoot or make me want to pay $3000 for a lens. My most use lens is a 105 1.4 Art followed by Sigma 14-24 2.8 Art.
All lenses from most company nowadays are pretty damn good for me. I've no qualm from Panasonic, Sigma, Tamron, etc. The glass isn't going to be a limiting factor for me. None of my clients really care if I shot an image from a Sigma, GM, etc nor I care enough to pixel peep.
Maybe Canon will bring something that tempt me back or don't. It needs to be something significant given the Panasonic S1 is $2500 and I'm perfectly happy with my current lens line up that I got for great price. More mpx, faster fps isn't enough to tempt me especially Canon charging more than the competitions. I rather use that money toward traveling.
I'm traveling to Europe and more places this year so I look forward to using dual IS (IBIS + IS) that can be hand held 4 seconds in places that ban tripod and eyeAF when I hand it over to a non photographer.
My decision to leave Canon is based on my needs and priority. No camera is perfect. I'm just not happy with EOS R and that's why I return it and the way EOS R camera body is heading toward. I'm happy with any trinity lens from any camera company and my Sigma 105 1.4 Art which I use most.
