S1II has been added to photonstophoto / looks promising

[Quentinquirelino]

Today, measurements for the new S1II has been added to the photonstophoto database. The measurements are looking pretty good. Not only it doesn't show the loss of DR in lower ISO due to the partially stacked sensor, like the Z6III does. It also is in line or slightly better compared to it's competition and predecessor.

Photographic Dynamic Range versus ISO Setting

Looks like the partially stacked sensor isn't the drawback in terms of image quality as many of us has been afraid of.

Thank you for the information. The people from cined.com published 4 days ago aswell the results if their Lab Test and are very positive:

Panasonic LUMIX S1II Lab Test, Part 2 - Dynamic Range and Latitude Using ProRes RAW 5.8K with DR Boost "ON" | CineD

Part 2 of our Panasonic LUMIX S1II lab test, using 5.8K ProRes RAW DR Boost "ON". Dynamic Range and exposure latitude are tested.

"For the first time, we have a consumer full-frame camera that is on par with the ARRI Alexa Mini LF in our standardized latitude test. The LUMIX S1II exhibits a very robust image pipeline with a fine, pleasing noise pattern that survives after noise reduction when heavy shadow lifting is required. All of that without large color shifts. Hence, outperforming all other consumer full frame cameras, but also professional ones in completely different price brackets like the URSA Cine LF 12K, or the RED V-Raptor [X], or the Sony BURANO".

Truly a Pocket ARRI. Lumix really been hitting it out of the park this year.

I hadn't seen the cined report. This is serious stuff.
