    Panasonic has announced that they will be releasing firmware update programs for the LUMIX Digital Single Lens Mirrorless cameras S1R, S1H and S1 to enhance functions and usability by the end of 2020.

    The new firmware enables the S1R to record 5K video, making the most of its high-resolution image sensor. Also, LUMIX’s state-of-the-art AF technology and performance of the new LUMIX S5 will also be available on the S1R, S1H and S1. The upgraded AF notably excels in detection of human and its movement. In addition to the eye, face, body the head is also separately recognized by real-time detection technology to provide even more precise focusing. The camera keeps tracking the subject person even if he/she moves quickly, turns his/her back to the camera, tilts his/her head or moves far away from the camera. On the other hand, improvements to the DFD technology has enhanced AFC, which also enables users to keep tracking small or fast-moving subjects to capture them in crisp focus. Users can take these advantages in both photo shooting and video recording.

    Panasonic further addresses technology development and its achievement shall be applied not only to the new products but also to those already released via firmware update.

    Looks like Panasonic is heading back to reality. For me personally this is the first time I have been remotely interested in this camera other than just a novelty to look at in the camera shop. Now they just need to improve the ergonomics of the grip to match the weight and launch the S1PC in the sub 2k price range. (S1People's Camera)

    Horrible internal design

    image

    image

    image

    Note the amount of chokes, as it is usually indicator of number of different voltage used. And such number of voltages needed due to much more chips made by different manufacturers that Panasonic is forced to use as it is unable to make good LSI anymore.

    Also, it seems like again we have NAND placed as top layer over LSI. Making LSI cooling much worse.

    If you look at Panasonic GH2-GH4 and especially Samsung NX300-500, you will think that they come from the future compared to this. As S1R, S1 and S1H main board design is similar to early 2000s designs.

    Design that is very hard to assembly and impossible to repair.

    image

    Sensor based stabilization leads to around 4x price rise of sensor module.
