First Panasonic S1R vs Sony A7 size comparison

Our friends over at Optyczne just shared these very first real world size comparison images between the new Panasonic S1R and the Sony A7III. The Panasonic is clearly bigger. At the same time the Panasonic looks much more solid too.

Interview with Panasonic: “these cameras will have the best possible codec for video recording”

Cinema5D interviewed Panasonic manager Mike Owen. They tried to spill out some more info but they didn’t get a lot of new info:

We have been assured that, when released, these cameras will have the best possible codec for video recording. Also autofocus for video recording is a priority for Panasonic, so hopefully the new cameras are supposed to have a powerful AF. We are still trying to confirm if the new cameras will have 10-bit internal recording. As soon as we get the official information from Panasonic, we will update the article.
