Sensors and resolution apart, the other main talking point here is the Panasonic ‘S’ series’ adoption of Leica’s L lens mount – something that saw it enter a collaborative partnership, known as the ‘L-Mount Alliance’, with both Leica and Sigma at German trade show Photokina last year. Arguably, that sort of resolution is only ever needed by the commercial photographer, making the more affordable 24MP S1 the option most worth considering by all the rest of us. The S1R meanwhile, as hinted at by its suffix, ups the resolution to a whopping 47 megapixels, intending to win over photographers looking for the ultimate in picture quality and subject definition.

The S1 we’re looking at here is outwardly identical to its S1R sibling in terms of design, layout and dimensions, the difference being that the S1 offers 24.2 effective megapixels from its 25.28MP full frame sensor, and is aimed at next generation photo and video creators, says its manufacturer. Is increasingly bigger always increasingly better?Īnd so Panasonic enters the current full frame war with not one but two new mirrorless models, lest its foray into full frame – up until now it has been Four Thirds format chips all the way – should seem like an afterthought, or bandwagon jumping. Several of us long term observers of the mirrorless market, will, however, be scratching our heads somewhat about where all this is going. Increasingly though, the latest generation are anything but diminutive (partly because of their adoption of full frame sensors, of course), which may win over some converts from DSLR looking for an image capture device that handles in a similar fashion, but is just slightly smaller. And of course, since 2009 Panasonic has largely pioneered that perception and intent. Until relatively recently, ‘mirrorless’ was shorthand for small, compact and lightweight interchangeable lens cameras.

Especially now that Canon and Nikon have, respectively and slightly late in the day, got serious with their EOS R and ‘Z’ series of similarly specified and targeted full frame mirrorless models.

The weatherproof Panasonic S1 has a large status LCD on top of the camera for quickly checking the camera's key settings, a thumb-controlled AF joystick on the rear, a triaxial tilt 3.2-inch touchscreen LCD with 2.1-million-dot resolution, dual SD/XQD memory card slots, Bluetooth and wi-fi connectivity, and USB charging. Other key features include a 6-stop Dual Image Stabilizer (when used with compatible lenses), 6fps continuous shooting with full-time auto-focusing (9fps without), auto-focusing speed of 0.08 sec down to -6EV low-light, and Eye AF mode and animal recognition driven by Artificial Intelligence Technology.

A future firmware update will unlock the option to record 4K 60/50p 4:2:2 10-bit via HDMI-output and 30p/25p/24p in 4:2:2and add V Log.Ī standout feature is the High Resolution mode, which allows the Panasonic S1 to capture 96-megapixel equivalent photos by rapidly taking 8 separate images and combining them into one. The Lumix S1 offers 4K video recording at up to 60/50p in 4:2:0 8-bit quality directly to SD- or XQD-card or 4:2:2 8-bit through HDMI for up to 30 minutes, while 4K/30p and Full HD can be recorded without a time limit.

The Panasonic S1 is a new full-frame mirrorless camera that features a 24.2 megapixel sensor, an expanded ISO range of 80-204,800, the latest Venus image processing engine, and a 5.76-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with magnification that can be adjusted from 0.78x to 0.74x or 0.7x.
