The Lumix S1 is one of Panasonic's all new full-frame, mirrorless cameras. Boasting a newly developed 24MP (effective) full-frame sensor, the S1 will be ideal for photographers wanting to shoot both stills and video.

A video shooting star

If shooting high-quality video footage is your preference, the S1 is worth checking out. In what Panasonic calls a first for a full-frame camera, the S1 will be able to capture 4K footage to 50/60p. The results should be spectacular!

Wave goodbye to the shakes

Camera shake, as we all know, can ruin a shot. The S1 will combat this by supporting Dual I.S.: this technology fuses image stabilisation systems in both the camera body and (stabilised) lens to greatly minimise camera shake and maximise the quality of your photography.

High expectations for High Res

The S1 will feature a High Resolution mode, which works alongside the camera's Body Image Stabilizer mechanism to produce eight consecutive images which are captured while shifting the sensor. These images are merged into a stunning high-res image by the Venus Engine image processor. Quite a process, but well worth it!

Lifelike viewfinder

Recent Panasonic viewfinders have received excellent reviews, but the company promises an even more lifelike viewfinder in the S1. If this is the case, expect a high-precision viewfinder that's extremely close to human vision.

An enhanced display

The Lumix S1 is updating and upgrading in all areas including the display. Expect a tilting and articulating LCD display, fully functional touchscreen and 3.2-inch screen.

Better battery life

Mirrorless cameras have a reputation for having less battery life than their DSLR counterparts. Panasonic promises to bridge that gap in the S1 with substantially increased battery life.
