Panasonic S1H ProRes Raw Review

ProRes Raw is finally here for the Panasonic S1H. Find out why Jordan says 'This is absolutely my favorite image from any of the cameras I've got right now...' But ProRes Raw has some tradeoffs as well. Watch to learn more.

SCRATCH allows true ISO and WB metadata controls. This is a problem with the NLEs, not ProResRAW

It's a bit outside what you normally cover, but I'd be interested to see how it affects keying out areas.
I'm imagining a greenscreen setup, with Chris on the floor, rolled into a ball, being shot on internal 8 bit, 10 bit, and ProRes Raw.
Then you can composite him onto various bridges.

Why aren't more people talking about the S1H?

Why is all of the attention seemingly on the Sony A7siii and the Canon R5.

Seems like everyone should be talking about Panasonic S1H: 6K, no over heating, great color science, flip out screen, 24mp photos, Netflix approved, great cinematic footage.

Why aren't more people drooling over the S1H?

It's kinda telling that third party programs such as Assimilate Scratch get ProRes RAW right but FCPX doesn't...

When I saw Jordan out in that sunny field I initially thought, "my camera would look about like that, some stuff overexposed, some under, etc." Then I froze it and looked more carefully and saw that none of that was true: the sky is blue, the shirt is white, his skin looks like skin in the sun, the foliage is natural. And his Panasonic is only $4000 more than mine!

Has to be some of the best image quality I’ve seen on this channel

[jeanchindeko]

It will have been good for DPReview to mentioned that or eventually try it as well and let us know.

I just shot 1TB of 6k Prores Raw in 46 minutes, which is higher data rate than the Canon R5 uncompressed 8k raw.

I saw another test that had bad channel-clipping on over-exposed highlights. Didn't see any comparable shots here. Anyone know if that's been fixed?

[SuperLol]

can you make a comprehensive comparison between Sony a7siii, Canon r5/r6 and Panasonic s1h/s1 cameras today? At least in mirrorless video world panasonic was pretty much unparalleled until just a month ago, but how much do new-comers challenge their cameras and are they still worth buy now? What would be trade-offs and such?

Your reviews are amazing and many thanks in advance for any response from you or anyone else!!!

I wonder if Resolve will ever support ProRes Raw...

[ziginox]

I wonder how the A7S III will compare, when we get recorders that will accept the RAW signal.

[bencorwin]

The implementation of ProRes RAW controls in FCPX is reprehensible. Shame on you Apple! Get your act together!

[brunogallet]

Great !
This is the first time that your skin looks really natural !

[Aman_Mondal]

Just thinking why can't Panasonic use BlackMagic raw it's free after all

[fatheadmediapro]

Problem is with final cut. As others have stated look into Assimilate Scratch where you have full Raw flexibility. Final cut wants to do all the work for you, like any other Apple product 😞

[danieldougan]

It totally sucks that ProRes is so important because not all of us have Macs or even Premiere.

[TomaszBrodecki]

Thanks for the video, what's up with the short shutter and sensor dust on the sky?

[martysender]

you quickly mentioned its available in Premiere. was that true?

[BobbyWashingtonvlog]

Can it auto white balance like the internal S1H if not how do you set WB with the Atomos?
