We found the camera tends to overexpose the faces of the players. When we were shooting in high-speed mode (shooting a band performing on a stage) the auto exposure chooses poorly.

The first quirk of the LUMIX S1 is that when shooting in high-speed mode, you must use auto exposure. We suspect this to be Sony’s new EVF and will likely see it in cameras from other manufacturers soon. You will also experience the benefits when shooting higher frame rates. Why does this matter? If you use an EVF when shooting video, you’ll immediately see how much smoother the EVF is when compared to any other hybrid mirrorless camera. The EVF on the S1 is far above the 3.69m-dot’s found on the Sony a7R III and Canon EOS R.

Our final perk is the amazing 5.76m-Dot OLED electronic viewfinder. 4k 60p is not found in any other hybrid mirrorless camera. There is a record limit when shooting in 4K 60p - an acceptable tradeoff.

This lack of record time limit is a first for a full frame camera. Perk: 4K 24 and 30 fps – no record limit timeįor our next perk, the LUMIX S1 features unlimited recording in 4K at both 30p or 24p. The 1.5 times crop at higher frame rates crops the field of view about as much as an APS-C size sensor. However, higher frame rates do suffer from some crop. Now, along with Sony and Nikon, Panasonic has a mirrorless camera that shoots full frame 4K video. Perk number two is that the camera shoots without a crop in 4K 30p and 24p. If you require good low light performance in 4K, there is now a serious competitor to the Sony a7S II.

There was no color shifting in the noise and the grain of the noise is very small. Any noise we saw could be easily removed with noise reduction.

Noise begins at ISO 51,200 and only minimal noise at that. Doing an ISO ramp from ISO 100 while adjusting the shutter speed to counter the added light allows us to learn the ISO at which noise enters the picture, while keeping proper exposure. Since Sony released the a7S, the video world has been waiting for another camera that can match its stellar low light performance. In this section, we want to talk about the good and bad, so you can have a balanced understanding of the camera.

Perks and quirks of the Panasonic Lumix S1Įvery camera has features that are great and others that miss the mark. Lastly, the S1 offers sensor-shift image stabilization. Plus, it uses a contrast-detecting Autofocus system with 225 AF points. It offers a 3.2-inch triaxial tilt touch-screen and dual card slots with one XQD and one SD slot. Its 5.76m-Dot OLED electronic viewfinder is best-in-class by a mile. Additionally, it outputs 10-bit 4:2:2 HDR 4K via HDMI. Getting a bit deeper into the specifics, the LUMIX S1 has a 24.2 megapixel (MP) full-frame MOS sensor that allows it to shoot up to 8-bit 4:2:0 at 150Mbps in UHD 4K at 60fps.

And if that wasn’t enough, Panasonic offers a $200 firmware upgrade that enables 10-bit internal capture and V-log. However, with that larger size comes a long battery life and fantastic low-light performance.Īnother very cool feature is the camera’s unlimited record time when shooting 4K at 24 and 30 frames per second. In fact, its larger than all the other full-frame cameras on the market. Priced at $2,500, the S1 is large for a mirrorless camera.
