Review on πŸ“Έ PANASONIC LUMIX S1H: 24.2 Full Frame Sensor, 6K Video, V-Log & Multi-Aspect Recording by John Ghattamaraju

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is not a camcorder!

The LUMIX S1H is a 6K beast and one of the best hybrid mirrorless cameras I've ever used. The 5.9k full frame sensor is amazing and the color reproduction on this camera is fantastic. It also contains Panasonic's full V-Log image profile, which is used in their expensive Varicam cinema cameras. It has amazing dynamic range and is great for color grading thanks to 10-bit 6K recording codecs. This camera also features a full-frame downsampling DCI-4K codec in 10-bit 4:2:2, which is almost more impressive than 6K images. This camera has a really bad AF system like the GH5, but this camera is so big you shouldn't be vlogging with it at all! It's the closest thing to a film camera, and with the possibility of recording RAW files with an external recorder in the near future, it's no wonder this camera is already Netflix-approved for its originals. Based on the GH5 and GH5s, the S1H and S series are a big improvement and should help anyone create more professional and cinematic videos.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Secret
