Lumix S1Rii from the perspective of a S5ii owner

But maybe I was too fast. Newest rumor tonight is that there will be a photo centric S1ii with 24MP announced on May 13th. If it is not larger than a S5, this might be the better choice for me.

Interesting. I wonder what an 24MP S1 mk2 would bring to the table over the S5 mK2? A new stacked sensor? Larger more robust body incorporating a larger EVF? Time will tell I guess.

Based on the S5ii and G9ii using essentially the same body, my guess is that rumoured S1ii would probably be in the same body as the S1Rii.

Yes, that's what the L-rumours website suggested, i.e. that the S1ii would have the same partially stacked Sony sensor as used in the Nikon Z6iii.

I think we were seeing leaked information about the S1Rii well ahead of its release whereas this is the first we've heard about the S1ii and it's less that two weeks away from the supposed announcement, so I wonder if this rumour is not very accurate.
