I would like to buy Panasonic S1r mainly because of IBIS efficiency, I shoot mainly landscapes and my Nikon Z6's IBIS is not bad but I expect Panasonic would be much better. Is there anybody Who can compare Nikon and Panasonic? What are limits for Panasonic with L lenses? Based on IBIS specification I would expect possibility to shot 1 second exposure with 50mm focal length, is it possible? I guess electronic front curtain and shutter delay mode shoul hele.

I've taken test photos with a Panasonic 50mm and the S1R at 1 sec. handheld. Technically it's possible and I got sharp results (sharp = evaluation at 100% zoom in the raw converter).

Not everyone has the same talent for handholding long times. One second means for me that not every single shot is sharp and I need more shots. That's why I would not use so long exposure times regularly in these conditions. Delay mode in handheld situations reduces the amount of sharp photos for me. Mechanical or electronic shutter made no differenc during my tests.

I would always regard IBIS as an aid, but not as a way of disregarding the usual precautions to avoid camera movement, e.g. resting the camera on a stable surface, using a mono- (or better) a tripod, using 1/focal length as the minimum shutter speed.

Don't forget, too, that certain Lumix lenses also have OIS, which can work in conjunction with IBIS.

I have nothing but great things to say about the S1R (except the weight). I found the IBIS to be outstanding, although if you're talking about 1sec exposures, I think that will always depend more on the user than the tech. At least with the current state of technology. I shot handheld in low light many times with my S1R, even at 600mm, with great results. The 150-600 I used also had IS, so it's not just the body, but I loved it.
