  • Superb image quality and sharpness, In-body stabilization plus OIS in the lens make anyone a steady shooter, Weather-sealed, rugged construction, USB-C, touchscreen, and fast EVF make smartphone users feel at home
  • Really, really chunky, Control scheme isn't as natural as Nikon's, Sony's A7 III and Nikon's Z6 offer better value

  • 24MP full-frame image sensor, 5-axis sensor stabilization, Outstanding EVF, Solid controls and ergonomics, Backlit buttons, Dust and splash protection, Top information display, 4K video with 10-bit output,
  • Pricier than competitors, Heavy, Contrast focus limits tracking speed and burst rate, Lens selection limited at this time
  • The Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 delivers great image quality and includes a high-resolution mode not found in other 24MP models, but it can't keep up when it comes to tracking speed...

  • Excellent handling, Great image quality, 10 bit 4K video with no crop, 5-axis in-body stabilization, Dual card slots
  • Contrast-detect autofocus inferior to rivals, Heavy, Expensive
  • Panasonic's S1 is the real deal, delivering both fantastic photo and video quality. In most areas -- including low-light sensitivity, stabilization and dual-card redundancy -- it stands up to and surpasses rivals from Sony, Nikon and Canon. The L-Mount sy...

  • With the new 24MP Lumix DC-S1, Panasonic has adopted a class-leading sensor for its venture into full-frame. The test results are practically identical to those of the sensor used in the highly-acclaimed Sony A7 III, and in some areas, such as dynamic ran...

  • The Lumix S bodies are Panasonic's most ambitious cameras to date, building upon everything they've learned from ten years of Lumix G. Over the past decade, Panasonic has steadily refined its mirrorless technologies, making substantial improvements in pho...

  • We're very pleased with the Panasonic S1 so far. It seems like Panasonic is creating the most serious camera out there when it comes to mirrorless full frame in many ways–except I really still don't understand that intelligent auto setting being on the mo...
