I am curious how much better this sensor would work at high ISO if it had honest 8.4µm pixels instead of those 4.2µm with QuadBayer and binning?

Sorry, I just didn't turn off automatic translation in my browser😅 But don't worry about me, because Putin's real spies never make such stupid mistakes😉 Well, those people may always buy one of the millions high MP models or, at last, a mobile phone with 200MP camera to boast amidst their crowd. At the same time there must be one 10-12MP camera in every model line for those who want to benefit from a large pixel, for instance astrophotographers, let alone filmakers. Only Sony have done it and the line 7s are of much success. Panasonic, your turn. And this time on FF!

I have to disagree. On the contrary, I believe that every manufacturer (not only Sony) must provide at least one video-focused camera with a moderate resolution sensor, no more than 4K. Panasonic has already released the extremely successful GH5S a few years ago, but it has MFT sensor. Now it is the turn of the full frame. If Panasonic makes S1H II based on 10MP FF sensor it will solve the problems of the old S1H, so we shall get at once: - faster readout with less rolling shutter; - 4K UHD 60p without any cropping; - better low light performance due to the largest pixel size. It will be the new low light king, which may well surpass a7s III and will also come in handy to astrophotographers.
