Engadget Panasonic S1R Review: Worth the price?
Engadget writes:
Is the S1R worth $3,700? If you had asked me this even a month or two ago, I would have said yes. However, Sony’s incredible new 61-megapixel A7R IV has put me in a tight spot here, based on the brief look we had. For $200 less, you get a lot more, including much higher resolution, phase-detect autofocus with incredible AI powered eye detection, and video features on par with the S1R.
Sony simply hasn’t given Panasonic an inch in performance, and has a proven track record with three previous A7R models. It’s a shame, because the S1R is a pretty incredible camera, but like Canon and Nikon, Panasonic is simply getting lapped by Sony in the mirrorless race.

Tyler Rostedt:
Over the month I’ve shot weddings, low light concerts, and have tested the Panasonic S1 a lot! Here are my thoughts testing the continuous autofocus, the color science, the 4k60 and the photo and video capabilities. And even compared it to my GH4

Panasonic Lumix S1 Review by ePhotozine
ePhotozine published the full Panasonic S1 review:
The Panasonic Lumix S1 offers everything you could possibly want from the full-frame mirrorless camera, including in-camera image stabilisation, a high-res multi-shot mode for 96mp images, high-quality 4K UHD video recording, and a solid weather sealed camera body with great ergonomics. Sure, it may not be as small as some full-frame mirrorless cameras, but for some, this will make the camera easier to use and handle. With great image quality and excellent video performance, as well as a growing range of lenses, there’s a lot to like.
