The Panasonic S1 REVIEW. Darn NEAR PERFECT Digital Camera

#PanasonicS1 #MirrorlessCameras #S1Review

Lenses I used here:

My final thoughts on the Panasonic S1 and why it is now my camera of the year pick, so far, for 2019.

[Seapatico]

Thank you for the reviews of this! I finally just upgraded to it from my A7ii and it is A DREAM! My favorite part is how well thought out the customization and shooting process are. Every button can be set to change any option, and it even has a "black and white live view" mode which makes manual focusing easier, but still allows you to see the color image. Plus, I got 1500+ shots out of the first battery charge!

It's a gorgeous camera and I completely agree with your review.

I just got back from my local store and was very impressed by this camera, the A7iii I had in my hands before this suddenly felt like a toy. The EVF is stunningly good and the haptic feel of this thing is phenomenal. Also the autofocus seemed very ok with the kit lens as well. I´m very, very tempted now to sell all my canon gear and get this...

Best combo I've discovered as an S1 owner: Canon Dream lens adapted onto a mirrorless system. All kinds of epic ensues.

Great review, as always. I have the S1 and absolutely love it. I use only all manual adapted lenses (milvus f mount) and love the look that this camera is getting with these lenses. I am finding, though, one small problem. I am unable to remove the four cornered focus box from both the EVF and back screen. Not a big deal at all, but just wondering if you were having this problem. Perhaps it will be addressed in an future firmware update. Thanks again for a great review!

Darn near perfect for me too. Went with the Sigma Art 40mm 1.4! Amazing combo!

All photos from this camera looks amazing... All the Youtubers gets incredible colorful and organic pictures with this new monster!

Is S1 photo's colour comparable to SL? That is an important respect to consider.

The s1R really appeals to me, I pretty much exclusively shoot landscapes so don’t even use autofocus, love to ergonomics, toughness and viewfinder. I’m in the market for a high megapixel mirrorless so am waiting for the Nikon Z8 and Canon high megapixel RF to weigh up my options. Exciting times to have GAS.

Boy am. I stuck... A9... S1... A9...S1...faster autofocus...faster card slot... E-mount...L-Mount...smaller lighter body...Larger more comfortable body...then there’s the colours... I really don’t know anybody who buys a system for “Sony colour science”, nor for “Panny colour silence” no flat profile for cine...paid upgrade flat profile for cine coming soon...1k more expensive...1k less expensive... older more advanced sensor...newer less advanced sensor/engine...this is a tough choice...any thoughts? The three main uses for me would be cityscapes, portraits & HDR. I would like to get into Astro photography as well.

I keep going back and forth on the S1 vs. S1R vs. SL or waiting for the SL2. Most people think that the S1 uses a Sony sensor while the S1R uses a TowerJazz. Looking at cameras that have had Sony sensors don’t seem to have the same color as Leica’s which have used TowerJazz. I realize that each manufacturer has its own color profile though and Panasonic’s is looking pretty good in both of their full frame cameras but I think I still prefer Leica color.

I heard lots of bad things about this camera but looks pretty good to me : )

[fernandoguerrero]

Which camera has better dynamic range, the Canon EOS r or Panasonic s1?

[FastAkira]

Nothing bellow 42mp interests me anymore.

SIR I AM INDIAN AND ON S1 CAMERA FILLING VERY GILLTY MENY TIME TURN OFF CAMERA

[mickeylickey]

What about skin tones? From what I've seen since its release, the skin tones are terrible. So orange.

For Photo shots the S1 is Average, the Auto Focus hunts and misses mote than my liking. After using it for 5 hours the weight is a problem and the Auto focus is worse than it should be. Perhaps when they fix the Auto focus when in a back lit view ... It would not focus? Unacceptable for such a camera.

Your review should state near perfect camera for manual focus photography. How come did you not do the stress test of AF in the night club like you did with other cameras ? Because in AF it's not that exciting now is it ? Infact this review carefully skim over the huge flaw regarding the really bad AF of this camera FOR Still PHOTOGRAPHY. At least give it the same walk of truth as the Eos r and Nikon z series .
