Stefanos Tsitsipas has now officially switched over to the S1H and the video on top is his first crappy 🙂 attempt to shoot with it! He writes:
I decided to make this video mainly to try the new (wouldn’t consider it new anymore) Panasonic Lumix S1H, which I was really psyched to shoot with. I apologise for the shots that were grainy or over-exposed/under-exposed during this video.
One of the features that had me in the edge of my seat was the 6k 24fps 10-bit and the v-log feature that we’ve seen in the previous Panasonic Lumix cameras. I wouldn’t vlog much with this camera as it’s really bulky and heavy to carry in one arm. At the same time, it’s a good bicep workout for my arm!
Am I considering to switch? Yes, most likely. My feedback is positive and I really enjoyed playing around with this piece of gear.
The new firmware update for LUMIX S1R, S1, GH5, GH5S and G9 allows the use of Profoto wireless transmitters “Air Remote TTL-O/P” and “Profoto Connect-O/Pg, enabling wireless connection and control of external strobes for professional shooting.
Here’s the first impression from LUMIX US Ambassadors James Shmelzer.
The Everyday Dad:
Today we’re comparing two full frame cameras from my favorite camera brands. The Sony A7III is a camera we’ve featured a lot because it’s one of my absolute favorites. The Panasonic S1H is a monster 6k camera that has features others cameras can’t really get close to.
But specs don’t really matter when it comes to cameras to make online content.
So which one works best?!

Asobinet posted this accurate size comparison between the new Sigma 24-70mm FE, the Panasonic 24-70mm f/2.8 and Panasonic 24-105mm f/4.0 zooms.

Petapixel tested all the best 24-70mm lenses and comes to the conclusion that the Panasonic L lens is the best performer. Still they recommend the also very good Sigma 24-70mm lens because of the much lower price:
Though the Lumix was most commonly my personal favorite out of each of the tests, I don’t know that I would say it’s the best purchase. If you recall, initially I said this was a test of sharpness vs price, and the Lumix is nearly twice as expensive as the Sigma.
Is the Lumix twice as good as the Sigma? That’s ultimately up to you to decide, but I personally don’t think it is. It’s definitely better, and I think if money were no issue I would select it over the field. But since money is always an issue, it’s hard to argue against the Sigma.
