Psst – LUMIX S Series cameras are better than yours. Don’t believe it? Try one FREE for 48 hours and find out
As camera owners, we’ve all had the same experience. No matter how good our camera is, we see a new body from a rival brand and we get curious… envious, even. But no – we’ve bought into our system and we’re sticking with it. Still, why do we keep looking at the reviews and watching the videos about it on YouTube?
That’s been the experience of so many Canon owners, Sony shooters and users of all the major brands when they see what LUMIX is doing with its full-frame S Series cameras. They see these powerhouse bodies like the flagship LUMIX S1R II, with its 44.3MP sensor and 8K open gate, and they wonder: is this better than my camera?
Well, you don’t have to wonder any more. No more theoretical shooting comparisons, no more endless YouTube research, no more flicking between tabs on your browser to look at specs, no more futile “testing” in a camera shop with the body leashed to the counter while a sales assistant keeps interrupting you.
With the LUMIX Loan Scheme you can borrow any of the S Series lineup absolutely free and test it out in your own environment – giving you the chance to see how good it really is.
Test a LUMIX S camera against yours!
Maybe you’re a videographer or content creator, and you’re wondering if the hype about Open Gate is true. Is this the holy grail that everyone says it is? Borrow a LUMIX S1R II, S1II, S5II, S5II X or S9 and try it out for yourself.
Perhaps you’re unsatisfied with the colours on your Sony camera and you want to know if LUMIX cameras really have best-in-class colour science. Take a loan of any S Series body and see with your own eyes.
You might be a Fujifilm user who loves having a small camera, but wishes you could have a larger sensor. Is the super compact LUMIX S9, with its full-frame sensor in a body that’s smaller than the Fujifilm X100VI, the perfect upgrade? Try it for 48 hours and find out.
Or you may even be a creator who is looking to upgrade from your camera phone, and wants to find the perfect camera for stills, video or hybrid shooting. Waving a camera around in a store isn’t going to tell you much, so try an S Series body at home or on a shoot and see how it transforms your content.
Whatever system you’re using, it’s time to get a LUMIX in your hands risk-free and see what you’re missing. Try out the class-leading in-body image stabilization, see the incredible algorithmic phase hybrid autofocus, discover the difference that 32-bit float makes to your audio – there’s nothing to lose, but everything to gain when it comes to improving your images.
Try out LUMIX L-Mount glass, too
Obviously a camera is little use without a lens, so the LUMIX Loan Scheme enables you to try out any lens with the S Series camera you take for a test drive.
Perhaps you'd like to put the S1II's powerhouse performance through its paces with the LUMIX S Pro 70-200mm f/2.8 OIS trinity lens, which is great for sports and wildlife.
Maybe you want to pair the S5IIX with a great videography lens, like the LUMIX S Pro 16-35mm f/4 that's perfect for dynamic two-shots and versatile B-roll. Or you might want to create the ultimate low-profile package for the S9 with the super svelte LUMIX S 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3.
And of course, the Loan Scheme is open to existing LUMIX users – so if you already own a LUMIX camera, you can try out that new lens you've been thinking about picking up.
Try out the fantastic LUMIX S Pro 50mm f/1.4 do-it-all portrait prime, give the LUMIX S 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens a spin for extreme close-ups, or take some awesome astrophotography with the LUMIX S 18mm f/1.8.
How the LUMIX Loan Scheme works
The free 48-hour loan service is super simple to use. Simply head over the LUMIX Loan Scheme website and check the availability of your desired camera and lens via the live booking system. (While the service is free, a refundable deposit is taken in case of damage or missing items.)
You should also keep an eye open for special extended loan offers, enabling you to try out LUMIX gear for even longer periods with more flexibility!
And once your loan is over, LUMIX offers a special incentive thanks to its partnership with MPB: until September 30, if you decide to purchase a LUMIX S Series camera following your loan, Panasonic will provide you with an exclusive 10% MPB quote boost code. In addition, you will be eligible for a special discount towards your new S Series camera if you do decide to buy.
