The Panasonic LUMIX S1II is here, and we took it for a short spin to create this short review. After all, this LUMIX is proving to be Panasonic’s best full-frame mirrorless camera for video, or when thinking about it, for hybrid work in general. With endless settings tailored to different filming modes, and a well-balanced trade-off between dynamic range and rolling shutter performance, this filming tool is the one to carry the Panasonic legacy forward, at least until the future appearance of the much anticipated successor of the aging S1H. Interested to hear more? Let’s dive into it. Panasonic’s first partial stacked sensor camera is making its debut, and I’m impressed. The company managed to balance rolling shutter speeds and dynamic range values rather nicely, and this alone deserves compliments. Choosing between DRBoost (ON/OFF) gives the possibility of either slower/faster sensor readout or greater/lower dynamic range. In other words, there is additional flexibility when it comes to filming different scenarios. But in all honesty, I’m here to talk less about “hardcore” specifications and more about my experience working with the camera. For technical details, check out our S1II lab test here and our related product announcement article here. Thank you, Kama, for sharing your story!
