Panasonic lumix s1r ii vs panasonic lumix s1r?

Both cameras are full frame mirrorless bodies on the L-Mount, both have in-body stabilisation, and both fit the same lenses, so your lens collection carries over either way.

For most people, I'd pick the newer Panasonic Lumix S1R II. It was announced in 2025 and adds phase-detect autofocus and 8K video to its 44.3 megapixels, which makes it a solid all-rounder.

The older Panasonic Lumix S1R from 2019 has more pixels, at 47.3 megapixels. It's a stills-focused body that's heavy but very well built, so it's worth considering if stills are all you shoot and you want that extra resolution. If you're not sure how much sensor you need, the sensor sizes guide explains the differences.
