No. It’ll be a $3,500 camera with 10bit internal recording and amazing eye AF...that’ll overheat and shutdown in less than 30 mins of continuous shooting. I mean that is the MO of how they do things. It won’t be until the A7Sm4 that we will get a useable A7Sm3. Hopefully by that time Panasonic (or @BTM_Pix) will sort their AF issues out and we can have our cake and eat it too.

With the overall positive reception of the S1 firmware update and the very pleasing image coming out of Panasonic’s new full frame camera, I’m thinking the S1H is going to be something special. The L-mount is building a lot of momentum with Sigmas fp and forthcoming glass and Panasonic’s usual firmware feature bonanza. Really quite impressed with Panasonic’s push here in a crowded full frame market and grim camera industry outlook.

@Mokara the S1 sensor is Sony but the S1R is Panasonic/TowerJazz. Panasonic’s 150Mbps codec is very well done. It has been discussed before at length in the GH5 thread but the difference between 150Mbps and the 400Mbps All-I are incredibly subtle in almost all cases. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Most likely you will be better served with a GH5. It’s cheaper too. It’s the Swiss Army knife. GH5S on a gimbal, properly balanced, will be fairly smooth. I have noticed micro jitters with a crane plus I borrowed once. Warp stabilizer removed it and it looked super smooth.

I think this would be an instant buy for me as a GH5S owner. Hope we get to see support for Panasonic cameras in the future.

Yeah, it’s pricey. Also it’s not battle tested in the field yet so might want to wait on it.

It’s not out yet, but the Peak design travel Tripod looks very nice if you are going to be lugging it around. Very slim profile and some nifty features.

I mean to be fair he was at 105mm.

So how does it measure? Dual pixel essential does the same thing with its dual phase detect design.

More info: Designed to work with a payload of 2.0Kg. Weights Only 1.1 Kg Less than $500 Now has active track when paired with a phone (this will make a lot of solo operators happy). Looks like it will carry: A7iii with 16-35 f2.8 GH5 with the new 10-25 f1.7

I am very interested in this I've held out buying the weebil lab because the payload capacity is way over stated but I like the form factor a features. I've held on buying a ronin-s because of the size and weight of the thing. But it has great performance and capacity.

Camera companies are strange creatures.

So how much latitude does ProRes Raw give you? I was under the impression white balance was still backed in.

You forgot talent.

I'm seriously thinking about ditching laptops (macbook pros) for a latest iPad with iPadOS. Since they added external file folder support and external drive support with a proper USB-C port. Can now just plug in a Samsung T5 drive and preview or even edit a video with lumafusion. It can handle 200Mbps HEVC files from the X-T3 without dropped frames whatsoever. This is so much better than a 15 macbook pro.

Whats the playback like on iPad once applying a LUT?

TowerJazz could be printing a licensed customized Sony sensor for any manufacturer who licensed it.

I think you will enjoy it immensely with the new firmware.

This is consistently the most annoying thing when all you want to do is preview your raw footage.

Sony and Canon want you to hold their beer.

Many people saw the L mount as a hindrance to getting a S1 but it’s looking like it’s going to be the closest thing to a universal mount for full frame cameras.

I don’t know if it’s possible but if only Panny would add ProRes Raw via HDMI and USB-C recording to their GH5S cameras along with that lovely linear focus option from the S1. The difference between the two would be narrowed slightly more.

The S1H has to have more than that for it to be worth the $6K asking price. The 150Mbps longGOP in the S1 is more than capable in anything than the most demanding scenes. It holds up quite well, just a beast to edit with. So the 400Mbits isn’t anything incredible special. Anamorphic is nice but really kinda niche because of that expensive glass. Most projects that would be shot in anamorphic would have the budget for an ARRI or RED or a Varicam. My money is on internal raw for the S1H otherwise it’s not really a cinema camera.

Very interesting. I see UHD CDNG at 100fps?! I bet smallrig is happy about this. Will need minimum a cage, side handle, some kind of v-mount or NPF battery mount. It’s like really expensive adult LEGO K’NEX. You could always run a long cable through jacket sleeve from pocket with a NPF battery in your pocket.

It’s extremely compelling for m43 shooters now. But, right now, full frame and EOS R are winning the vlogging game.
