Peter Gregg: Does Panasonic S1 S1R Beat the CANON EOS R In My Mind?

Peter Gregg:

The Panasonic S1 and S1R cameras are not complete cameras yet. They have been announced but the specs don’t seem to be solidified. I may sound a little harsh in this video, but now is the time for them to make changes in the camera BEFORE it starts production. Not having an articulating screen – from Panasonic of all companies – is almost unimaginable!!!

New interview with Panasonic: “S1 and S1R goal is to take a piece of the Full Frame market”

Photogearnews interviewed a Panasonic UK manager and here are three key info:

1) He makes some Nikon-Canon poke fun and says “you will be pleased to know it has two card slots” 🙂
2) Focus was on the balance between camera and lens
3) Interesting: 30% of the system camera market is Full Frame. 70% non Full Frame (APS-C, MFT)

Hugh Brownstones take on the new S1 cameras

Hugh:

“I think the L-mount consortium — in particular Panasonic’s first full frame mirrorless camera system the Lumix S — is the biggest news at Photokina 2018.”

Leica says new lens manufacturers might join the L-mount

DC.watch interviewed the three managers of the L-mount alliance and there are a couple of interesting points:

1) Leica is considering selling Sigma and Panasonic L-mount products in their Leica stores
2) There are yet no plans to extend the partnership yet.
3) Yes, other Lens manufacturers can use the L-mount specifications to make L-mount lenses

Panasonic S1 and S1R hands-on by Charbax

Charbax:Panasonic announces their new Full Frame camera system using the Leica L-Mount. This camera will do 4K60 with an XQD and an SD card slot, a 3-tilt display (not sure yet if that means with flip out support or not), the limitations of the 4K60 when it comes to cropping or record length limitations are not known yet. The Panasonic S1 will be 24 megapixel while the Panasonic S1R will have a 47 megapixel sensor. The camera is coming on the market early 2019 already, that is what they are saying anyway. Things like weight, exact size, battery life and other things are not announced or defined yet as this system is now under development. Hopefully Panasonic will have their autofocus technology fixed and fully usable (unlike with their GH5) in this camera.
