Superb viewfinder and screen offers an unparalleled experience composing images, 5-axis in-body stabilisation helps keep every image sharp, Well-designed control layout places all key settings at your fingertips, Comprehensive feature set, Excellent video
Large and heavy: as big as a high-end full-frame DSLR, Extremely expensive native lens system, Not quite as refined as its main competitors, Slightly uninspiring JPEG output
With the S1, theres no doubt that Panasonic has produced a highly accomplished camera thats a strong competitor to its 24MP rivals, the Nikon Z 6 and Sony Alpha 7 III. Its solidly built and handles exceptionally well, while its superb viewfinder and sc...

Best-in-class viewfinder, Effective image stabilization system, High build quality and weather resistance, Excellent buffer depth, Hugely customizable, Superb video quality
Large, heavy body, Handful of minor ergonomic issues, Focusing system lags behind rivals, Eyecup can get in the way of LCD, No DCI 4K, and V-Log is paid-for update
First-generation models like the Panasonic S1 are always exciting to put to the test. Often they introduce something new that makes other manufacturers take notice, although occasionally they show enough promise to steer the whole market in a particular d...
Big and heavy, Very expensive, 10:2:2 video update isn't free, Not a huge range of lenses (yet)
What is the Panasonic Lumix S1? Along with its 47.3-megapixel sibling, the Panasonic Lumix S1R, the Lumix S1 is Panasonic's first foray into full-frame mirrorless photography. Across both video and stills photography, the 24.2-megapixel camera promises gr...

Being later to the game than the other major players could limit appeal, Leica mount means lenses are massive, Rear toggle control can be hypersensitive, Some low-light autofocus quirks, Not all video features available at launch
The Panasonic Lumix S1 is a formidable full-frame offering that's packed with features and potential. Its only real problems? That lens mount makes for massive optics and the system is years later to the game than Sony. The window to high-quality Leica le...
Abstract: If you're a serious enthusiast or working pro, the very best digital cameras on the market will cost you at least $2500. That's a lot of money, but generally speaking these cameras offer the highest resolution, the best build quality and the most advanced...

Abstract: The end of 2018 saw Canon and Nikon introduce their first full-frame mirrorless cameras, with Panasonic on the verge of joining the party. This brought an end to Sony's five-year term as sole mainstream purveyor of this type of camera and set out each com...
Image quality, Durability, Menus, Autofocus improvements, High ISO output, It surprised me in our printing test,
The autofocus still lags behind most of the competition, Not sure I can justify the price, It's large, Battery life isn't all that fantastic, but it's not terrible
Great image and video quality, Versatile controls, In-body image stabilisation, Good battery life, Dust- and splash-resistant body, Lens ecosystem
Slow focusing speeds, Quite heavy, Cropped video output, Steep pricing, Photos by Raj Rout, ShareTweetShare
The Panasonic Lumix S1 is a solid mirrorless camera. It has everything that one would ask for in a high-grade shooter, right from a well-built body to great image quality and video recording capabilities, along with a battery that doesn't require juicing...
Solid body, Excellent ergonomics, Excellent sensor with high dynamic range, Nice built-in image stabilization, Good and fast autofocus in AF-S, Good video in 4K up to 60 fps, Great viewfinder with unique capabilities, Weather resistant, Turning and til
DFD autofocus not perfect for video in C-AF, Screen not suitable for vlogging, Big and heavy for mirrorless camera, Big battery still drained quickly
Larger weight and size, Auto exposure in high speed video
The larger size and weight of the S1 might turn some people off. For others, however, it's what they have been craving in a mirrorless camera. For us, we didn't mind the extra size and found the camera to be nice to use. More importantly, the S1 captures...
