Best IBIS for still shooting. Highly recommended.

I bought the S1RII April 2025. This camera was to replace an Leica SL2. I did this because the S1RII is over 1/4 pound lighter in weight. This is important to me since I broke my back and neck early 2024.
Currently I am using this camera with the Lumix 18–40 zoom.
The single most positive element of my use thus far is the IBIS. This feature is an order of magnitude better than I ever expected. The best over my Canon and Nikon cameras. As an example when I bought this camera I was still using a Leica 23mm TL lens (35mm equivalent). We took a jeep tour through Monument Valley AZ. This ride is very rough, bouncy and overall should be a nightmare for a camera if shooting while riding. And it was. However all of the many shots I took riding in the back of the jeep were sharp, well focused, and correct exposure. Amazing camera tech performance.
The one negative I would say is the vast and deep menus. I had a Lumix S5II in 2023 and sold it from the frustration I had navigating the menus. This time I was determined NOT to let this camera get the best of me. I have found the info button very helpful when attempting to change a setting. I do only still shooting and it seems the majority of settings are video oriented but with this menu help I have been able to make most changes somewhat effectively.
In summary I would recommend this digital camera to anyone wanting a superior L mount camera.
