Administrators Popular Post Andrew Reid Posted February 1, 2019 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2019 For long-time GH1 to GH5 shooters like myself, loyal from the beginning, at a time everyone else was shooting Canon, the S1 is a milestone. I have a bit of an emotional attachment to it already, being the first Panasonic full frame camera. It is not my first L-mount camera though. I’ve been shooting with the Leica SL for a few years now and it is still the most clean, ergonomic, minimalist full frame mirrorless body. It cannot, however, match the sheer size of the feature-set on the £2000 Panasonic S1.

Super Members Popular Post BTM_Pix Posted February 1, 2019 Super Members Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2019 Nice piece. Oh and the cheque is in the post for this plug Mind you, I hope the notes he was taking were along the lines of "lets track this maverick down and license it" rather than "lets track this cheeky bastard down and sue him" !

Cheers Andrew The colour science should be interesting on this one especially when it gets the 10bit update. Immediately apparent it beats Sony!

Lars Steenhoff Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Ask them for internal LUT support please. ( I think you already did but not sure they understood) For both video and stills So when I want have a nice look I dont need to go in post processing on an external device. Especially important to show a good looking jpg direct out of the camera to a cleint on set Cas1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ichidomo Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Colors look very pleasing at first sight. The only thing I was truly hoping for was a 4:3 video mode so I can adapt my 2x anamorphic setups in s35 crop mode. According to brand ambassador Jacob James there's no 4:3 with the current FW. If they will implement a 4:3 mode with supported IBIS like in the gh5 I might be aboard. If it can do 4/6k in photomode at 30fps 4:3 I don't see why anamorphic wouldn't be possible with a FW update.

PannySVHS Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 @Andrew Reid Hey Andrew, great interview. I really like the introduction. Awesome that you had a such an open talk and constructive time with the Lumix S1 team and its leading gentleman. The current codec choices are Lumix G7 territory, which would not make me consider to buy this camera. I hope for GH5 codec choices, ALL Intra included and full VLOG. Then this would be my first full frame video/cinema camera. All full frame GH5 with full VLOG and without artificial sharpening and good battery life- here is my money! For now these codecs area available, which give Lumix G7 and GX85 quality. icarrere, Ichidomo, MacMurphy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumble Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Is 72 Mbps a fairly standard bitrate for HEVC? I see it only uses that for HLG recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's comparable to 150Mbps in H.264 Nothing to write home about, but at least they offer HEVC. Overall it doesn't look like the camera is aimed at the video market, as it's seems aimed mainly at professional photographers Grumble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Panasonic dropped the ball on these cameras. Great AF has to be part of the equation for any new camera... for both stills and video.

Video Hummus Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Wed photo video did a preview of it and the autofocus in video was pretty stellar looking, as in it looked like a Sony or canon camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kisaha Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 40 minutes ago, Grumble said: Is 72 Mbps a fairly standard bitrate for HEVC? I see it only uses that for HLG recording. This is too low. The un-hacked NX500 shoots that, and that is a 4 years old tiny camera that cost 750€ kit when new. This is too low for a 2019 un-released yet, camera. Also, the NX500 can shoot double, or more, than that, and 2.5K also, with the hack. 72 H265 is a lot better than a similar number in H264, but certainly no 144Mbps. No way. Panasonic said it, this is a photo camera first, that can do alright video too. They didn't lie! I believe the power of the consortium are the total lenses that 3 big companies can offer on a short period of time, but this is still to be seen. Do not see myself as an early adaptor in any of those! P4K or Z for me. Grumble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall it doesn't look like the camera is aimed at the video market, as it's seems aimed mainly at professional photographers Sorry but I'm gonna correct it every time I see this. 72Mbps HEVC is identical to 72Mbps H.264. That 50% bitrate saving marketing BS only applies to extremely compressed materials for streaming. For 4K it would be around 10-20Mbps for HEVC to show its strength. The reason they offer HEVC is because BT.2100 HLG spec stipulates it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of the reasons I prefer to buy Panasonic over other brands. I know they’ll keep it fresh for the users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
