GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Commercial, Portrait & Landscape Photographers — GFX 100S (2021): 102MP medium-format with IBIS and phase-detect AF at a price that made serious large-format imaging available to a new generation of photographers.

Hybrid & Video — S1 II (2025): The S1 II is the full-frame L-mount hybrid camera Panasonic's system has been waiting for — phase-detect AF, 4K/120p, class-leading IBIS, and a professional build in one complete package. It addresses every weakness of the original S1 and positions Lumix firmly back in the conversation for serious hybrid shooters.
