S1R II / S1 II / S1 IIE Hand held high res processing time

[GizM0]

Hi everyone!
I have been considering one of the new S1 series camera mostly for landscape and some astrophotography.
I'd like to know from owners here how long does it take for the camera to process Hand Held High res shots (not counting actual shooting time) before the camera is able to shoot again.
Main use would be for static landscape to expand further dynamic range.
Many thanks for any input in advance!

About 30 seconds with my S1RII. I believe it should be faster with the S1II/S1IIe because of the difference in resolution.

With the s1II I get 16 seconds.

Thanks guys! I would then assume that the S1 IIe would also be around 16 seconds since it has the same processor and mpx dense sensor.

I have the S1Rii and can confirm 25-30s processing time. But i think it's worth asking why you would bother. I don't find the increase in resolution really worth having, and while it does improve DR, it has to be said that DR is already very good and shadows can be lifted a lot without much noise creeping in. And there's always the option of shooting an EV bracket and stacking later in PP if you are shooting a scene with really high DR.

But if DR is really important to you, the best camera to go for is the S1ii since it has "DR boost" - a feature that uses the dual integration time capability of the sensor to effectively take two exposures at the same time with different gain applied. It delivers the best low ISO raw file DR you will find on the market today.

But on balance, the S1Rii is probably the better choice for landscapes due to the increased resolution. For astro, the S1ii will take more ISO punishment so it's probably the best for that.
