Panasonic Lumix S1R review

Panasonic's officially launched its new full-frame mirrorless camera, the Lumix S1R. We got to spend some time with a pre-production sample of the S1R at its official launch in Barcelona.

Superb EVF - best on the market; Very effective image stabilisation; 187MP High Resolution mode is unique; Highly responsive in use

Somewhat large for a mirrorless camera; Power control in awkward position; Stiff menu pad control; V-Log set to be optional paid-for update

The S1R has a list price of $3699. Alongside the camera, Panasonic announced 50mm F1.4, 24-105mm F4 and 70-200mm F4 lenses for the L system. They are priced at $2299, $1299 and $1699, respectively.

Panasonic S1R review

The Panasonic Lumix S1R is the highest-resolution full frame mirrorless camera yet to hit the market....

Superb resolution; 4K video at 60/50p; Dual image stabilization; Solid handling; Twin card slots/formats

More expensive than rivals; Limited lens system so far; 360/340-shot battery life; Rivals better for action
