The autofocus still lags behind most of the competition
Not sure I can justify the price
It's large
Battery life isn't all that fantastic
But it's not terrible
Iffy contrast-detect AF tracking
Currently limited lens line-up
Large for a mirrorless camera
Really
Really chunky
Control scheme isn't as natural as Nikon's
Sony's A7 III and Nikon's Z6 offer better value
Contrast-detect autofocus inferior to rivals
Expensive
Photographers requiring a top-notch autofocus system. Those looking for a lighter
Stellar ergonomics, Great results & expansive lens ecosystem
Autofocus not as fast as G9, Video record button placement not ideal
Where other camera brands are just getting started with mirrorless, it feels like the Lumix S1 and S1R are more interested in pushing boundaries forward - and that's something that's easy to get on-board with...

Superb viewfinder and screen offers an unparalleled experience composing images, 5-axis in-body stabilisation helps keep every image sharp, Well-designed control layout places all key settings at your fingertips, Comprehensive feature set, Excellent video
Large and heavy: as big as a high-end full-frame DSLR, Extremely expensive native lens system, Not quite as refined as its main competitors, Slightly uninspiring JPEG output
With the S1, theres no doubt that Panasonic has produced a highly accomplished camera thats a strong competitor to its 24MP rivals, the Nikon Z 6 and Sony Alpha 7 III. Its solidly built and handles exceptionally well, while its superb viewfinder and sc...

Best-in-class viewfinder, Effective image stabilization system, High build quality and weather resistance, Excellent buffer depth, Hugely customizable, Superb video quality
Large, heavy body, Handful of minor ergonomic issues, Focusing system lags behind rivals, Eyecup can get in the way of LCD, No DCI 4K, and V-Log is paid-for update
First-generation models like the Panasonic S1 are always exciting to put to the test. Often they introduce something new that makes other manufacturers take notice, although occasionally they show enough promise to steer the whole market in a particular d...
Big and heavy, Very expensive, 10:2:2 video update isn't free, Not a huge range of lenses (yet)
What is the Panasonic Lumix S1? Along with its 47.3-megapixel sibling, the Panasonic Lumix S1R, the Lumix S1 is Panasonic's first foray into full-frame mirrorless photography. Across both video and stills photography, the 24.2-megapixel camera promises gr...

Full-frame image quality looks excellent from what we've seen so far, Lots of potential quality from Leica mount, Exceptional image stabilisation system, Eye AF works very well, Best-in-class OLED viewfinder, Easy to use, High-end video features will enti
Being later to the game than the other major players could limit appeal, Leica mount means lenses are massive, Rear toggle control can be hypersensitive, Some low-light autofocus quirks, Not all video features available at launch
The Panasonic Lumix S1 is a formidable full-frame offering that's packed with features and potential. Its only real problems? That lens mount makes for massive optics and the system is years later to the game than Sony. The window to high-quality Leica le...

The Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 delivers great image quality and includes a high-resolution mode not found in other 24MP models, but it can't keep up when it comes to tracking speed...
Abstract: After many years in the sidelines, mirrorless cameras have now well and truly started edging out the traditional DSLR cameras. While a lot of credit for expanding this segment needs to be given to Sony and its Alpha series, other players too are now tryin...
Viseur électronique 5,7 Mpx, stabilisation mécanique du capteur, mode haute définition, qualité d'image, robustesse, mode vidéo très complet
Encombrement et poids élevés, autonomie limitée, autofocus moins véloce que la concurrence
Bien que la concurrence ait dévoilé de nombreux modèles dans ses gammes hybrides 24x36, le Panasonic S1 conserve de nombreux atouts, à commencer pas sa polyvalence en photo et en vidéo. Mais l'appareil manque de charme, son prix reste élevé et sa gamme...

Le Lumix S1 est une franche réussite, le genre d'appareil qui fait avancer la compétition. Quand il a fallu à Sony trois générations de boîtiers plein format pour revenir à des boîtiers moins petits, Panasonic a directement mis les pieds dans le plat en p...
