S1II vs S5II vs S9 — Do I Upgrade or Stick With What I Have?

Panasonic sent me their new S1II to spend some time with and see what I really think of it. The problem? I already own the S5II and the S9 — and they’re both very good. In this video I break down: • My first impressions of the S1II • How it compares to the S5II and S9 in real use • What’s genuinely better — and what isn’t • Who the S1II actually makes sense for • And whether I’d personally upgrade… or stick with what I’ve got No hype, no spec-sheet worship — just real-world thoughts from someone already deep in the Panasonic ecosystem. If you’re wondering whether the S1II is a must-upgrade or a nice-to-have, this one’s for you. We’re now a proud Boxo Tools affiliate!
