Panasonic S1H: What we know so far, and what we think’s likely (Dpreview)

Here are a couple of extra info via Dpreview:

• Panasonic says it will combine aspects from the GH-series, the full-frame S-series and its pro-level Cinema Varicam series
• The “H” stands for stills/video hybrid with high quality
• The most likely implication of these specs is that the camera has a 24MP sensor.
• Panasonic talks about the S1H offering ‘multi-aspect’ shooting, including 4:3 anamorphic shooting. But we’re not taking this as proof that it has an multi-aspect sensor, in the same way the GH2 and GH5S have.
• The 60p video will probably come from a Super35 crop
• It’s possible that this greater gimbal and steadicam friendliness, combined with the improved heat management of being able to attach the sensor to a heat sync would push the S1H towards using a fixed sensor (no IBIS)

Published specs:

• 6K 3:2 capture at 24p
• 16:9 5.9K capture at up to 30p
• ‘Multi aspect’ recording including anamorphic 4:3 capture
• 10-bit DCI and UHD 4K capture at up to 60p
• Unlimited recording times
• 14+ stop V-Log/V-Gamut capture
• Color reproduction to match Cinema VariCam series
