Buying call

Buy the S1R II if you want a high-resolution camera that's equally serious about video: reviewers praised its 44MP sensor, 40fps bursts, much better autofocus, effective stabilization, 8K video and internal 5.8K Apple ProRes recording, all in a smaller, lighter body than before and at a competitive price for the specs. Skip it if battery life matters, because it's mediocre, some features need a CFexpress Type B card, and there's no top-plate LCD.
