The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on February 03, 2021 Pros: Construction, Spectacular Photo File, Auto-focus improved a lot with the new firmware 1.7 especially in video, body, reliability, the viewfinder is a fairy tale Cons: Maybe the battery life Opinion: My opinion will be long, also because those who know me have tried them all but, for three years now I have decided to stop and address a product specific to my video and photographic needs. To say that I am a former owner of GH4 and GH5 spectacular machines for video, for a very short time I owned S1H and here it is useless to talk about it but I took it off because my biggest problem is that being a photographer and videomaker I never went to invest in two machine bodies, until the day I decided to sell everything and buy a machina that would allow me to have some excellent photos , in itself of excellent performance and that included a good video compartment, and so I move on to Fuji X-T3 and X-T4. Today for my future projects I am thinking of buying a machine that has a Cine profile and therefore I will project myself towards Blackmagic but in the meantime the bee-c sensor had to be tightened to me given my decision and anyway until the time of purchase I always need a machine that allows me to make videos of a certain level . I was not confident precisely because coming from S1H and , testing the fact that the self-focus both video and photo was scarce I was a little reluctant, but the moment I learned that everything was solved and improved to the great with the advent of the S5 on the market or made the step. I purchased this machine and immediately updated the firmware to version 1.7 is I have to say that now it has no rivals, the photo file is spectacular and of great quality, I bought it with the 24-105 and the new 85 f1.8 " and that we talk about it to do " the video sector is not really that of GH5 nor even that of S1H " logical " but with the V-log installed kids there is little to do , Panasonic in the Video world has always loved its users giving a product that allows you to create things that other brands dream of, I tried them all but here is a whole other planet and we do not talk about it now with a FF sensor but then, the 24-105 to f4 a crazy blur and a quality to sell and envy. I will certainly take Blackmagic but it is even more certain that I will take another S1 for my kit.. It is to buy absolutely |
 | sent on May 27, 2020 Pros: Excellent viewfinder Cons: Weight, paid video software, autofocus not at most Opinion: I used this machine for a few days, but I still wonder why I have to spend three times the market price of the Sony A7II and a lot more than the AIII to have the same old-generation sensor. Sure holds the Isos, but I would also like to see with a number of pixels from apsc. In short, Panasonic has "wise" the soil of the full format with a product certainly good, but with too much already seen and that in fact has its main use in the video field so that it can be assimilated to an evolved camcorder with which to take even photos. |
 | sent on February 02, 2020 Pros: Ergonomics, body that gives a feeling of great solidity, weight (for me is not a disadvantage), spectacular dynamic range (in my opinion colors very close to Leica), ultra operating speed, in most cases churns out ready-to-use jpeg, Raw excellently workable. Fantastic silent snap. Cons: Autofocus absolutely to be reviewed, unworthy for such a machine body. Opinion: I wanted to try the S1 for quite some time for a purchase in place of the excellent Sony A7III (having big hands I prefer large bodies with excellent grip). Tried for a week in all the shooting situations i usually try, thanks to the local retailer who had a demo along with the 24/105 F4 kit lens. Well, fantastic machine body, excellent ergonomics, immediate familiarity in the controls. Great if you use in the studio,still life, portraits, panoramas. One excessive insurmountable flaw: autofocus. Problems in low light or artificial/dark light areas. Very uncertain tracking in all the modes of autofocus provided (even single center point), tried the theaters for a classical ballet tended to focus on the bottom in 70% of cases (unexplained) although several meters deep from the foreground. Tested together with the Nikon D750 that I carried with me for safety, the Nikon autofocus with the same settings did not miss a beat. In conclusion, gorgeous machine, if Panasonic in the future will update the autofocus with a better performing one, I will definitely buy it. |
 | sent on January 12, 2020 Pros: Ergonomics, weight and stabilization, WB car, dynamic range, fantastic and customizable JPEG, Arri colors, fast in changing settings, touch screens, connectivity, sturdy, you can soak it in the lake and stay quiet, V-Log. Cons: Unreliable autofocus for videos, lent photo burst for those who play sports with 6fps, limited and slow optical park (not a problem for me, I use only two lenses) Opinion: This, for my work, is the ultimate camera/camera. It takes fantastic photos and almost always in focus, only at 105mm is a little slow focus in some critical situations. Video side is sublime, I preferred it to bmpc4k for Ibis, tropicalization, Arri colors and I am hugely satisfied! If they were to distribute more affordable lenses, surely the Lumix S system will see the light... otherwise they risk sinking, given the competition. |
 | sent on December 11, 2019 Pros: Massive and very ergonomic body, excellent image and video quality, perfect stabilization, absent noise, 360-degree customization of controls, very valid and highly parametrid autofocus, clear and well-organized menus even if very rich, excellent monitors and sights Cons: Paid video extension a bit annoying. Opinion: Aimed at the release and purchased months later on the occasion of the black friday at a really affordable price, it is the only camera at the moment that allows you to combine photos and videos at very high levels without having to give up anything (with the exception of not having the possibility to draw in the used for optics, being a new system) and without having to open a mortgage. I've been using it for a week, I'm from Canon 6D, and I have to say it's another world, even in image quality and noise management where I thought I found little difference. The files are super workable, clean and defined, the noise does not even emerge to look for it specially (an abyss of difference from the 6D). Beautiful colors (also credit to the "kit" lens 24-105 which is truly superb at all focal lengths), stabilization that allows you to shoot at incredible times, large and excellently functioning viewfinder, not to mention the monitor, embellished by the possibility of various movements. The only flaw (perhaps my lack, at the moment I did not find features that were helpful in the menus and in the booklet) is the use of the monitor under the sun that caused me some difficulties due to the low brightness. The battery I thought lasted less, instead it has a very satisfying life even without setting various modes of energy saving. In the next few days I will thoroughly test my Canon 70-200 f 2.8 IS II with the Sigma mc-21 adapter, let's see if the eyepatch allows a sufficient AF for use in the theater. |
  | sent on May 27, 2019 Pros: Machine body designed for professional use. Performance and fast AF with many customizations. Sensor with stabilization effectiveness. Excellent dynamic range and ISO-Ali Seal Cons: Maybe excessive weight but it is a PRO. Optical system only with a few objectives. Opinion: I have considered this system still very new only after seeing the results and ease of use. The files are excellent with colors and definition at high level, shooting in JPEG you get good results immediately. Developing in RAW you get a lot of detail. The body is very professional with keys and customizable functions. The battery life is very good compared to other brands. The Sigma adapter ring allows you to space in the optical park with a Canon mount, which amplifies the choice of use. The viewfinder is really good maybe the best there is on the market. The 5-axis stabilized sensor allows you to shoot with almost absurd times. I think it's one of the better Mirrorlex FF's on the market. The Kit Col 24-105 does its duty in most situations, while the 70-200 is really very good with a very good stabilization and focusing speed. I have been using this machine for about a month and I find it very good. A car to try that will give you a lot of satisfaction. |
 | sent on April 26, 2019 Pros: Very well solid, well built, excellent image quality in Raw a little less in jpg, high dynamic yield, no noise at high ISO, manageability, clear and intuitive menu, stabilization, autofocus reactive, fast and precise, high technology solutions, EVF viewfinder with definition and exceptional quality the best ever. Cons: Just a little heavy, but in time you do not notice, file in jpg less good better definitely the Raw. Opinion: Love at first sight and then tried, exceptional I did not expect I agree to 99% with my predecessors after various tests photos and fabulous videos really except the JPG better decidedly the Raw flawless, quality packaging that amazed me especially the box Durable and sturdy as the camera and also the lens a very good 24-105 F. 4; Soon I'll also buy the adapter ring to apply different Canon lenses, Leica and many more. I think I keep it for a long time, it's true for now it's one of the best I've ever had and I've had several. I highly recommend it. |
 | sent on April 23, 2019 Pros: Solid body, excellent yield in high iso, Dual is, excellent viewfinder, excellent colors, af performing Cons: Weight for those who want lightweight and compact MLs Opinion: I've been using it for a few days and I'm in love with it. Solid, robust, excellent display and viewfinder, it ensures noise-free files even at high sensitivity. In the video field, he finds his widest expression, also thanks to the neutral paste and excellent colors. With 24-105 and 70-200, then, it's like using a gimbal. One of the best I've had |
 | sent on April 20, 2019 Pros: Solid, well-built, excellent image quality (raw-jpg), excellent dynamic yield, absence of noise at high ISO, handling, clear and intuitive menu, photo stabilization 6.5 stop, responsive and accurate autofocus, high technological solutions, EVF viewfinder with top definition and quality, excellent battery life Cons: Missing V-log video compartment (purchaseable separately) Opinion: Panasonic enters the MIRRORless FF landscape. The S1 immediately offers an excellent feeling of solidity, with a construction that maintains and exceeds the already high standards of the M4/3 system with the G9 and GH5. I focus on the excellent quality of the new sensor, able to offer detail, dynamic range, absence of noise at high ISO. High responsiveness of the AF system in particular with the help of people/animal recognition functions. Fast and versatile in photo use, not yet tested in video. The spectrum of focus areas, with almost unlimited variations, has been expanded compared to the G9, for example. Knowing Lumix the menu immediately appeared familiar and intuitive, but I'm sure it would also be for those who are looking at this brand for the first time. Very versatile and complete slack sits, both for the main functions and for the others, all completely remodulatible at will and according to personal needs. The solidity of the machine goes well with screen management. No longer fully tipping, but extremely robust and well secured. Some small solutions make life easier during work and shooting, such as illuminated keys, night function, lever (programmable) that locks some keys to avoid involuntary movements, the warning opening slot cards or battery during data recording. Excellent color yield, with natural and balanced tones, excellent AWB, so much so that it almost always makes an edition in post superfluous. The 24-105 zoom lives in symbiosis with the machine, offering a gain on stability of up to 6.5 stops with the Dual IS. With non-Lumix S targets, the IBIS system offers a stabilization of up to 6 stops. Excellent glass quality already at TA, well distributed detail from edge to board, carefully designed optics. Good energy range, achieved 750 shots (with screen use, external flash and double stabilization) with 1/3 battery still available, ability to charge from the electric grid or with power bank while working. Finally weight and size. In my opinion absolutely congruent for an instrument that in front of an excellent FF sensor is designed to mount quality and consistency lenses among those that the Panasonic/Sigma/Leica consortium already offers and will offer more and more. After all, Lumix produces compact and lightweight ML with the M4/3 system, so for the S series the choices were quite other. Weight for me was never a problem, in fact, I always enjoyed "feeling" the machine in my hands. We are not talking about something exaggerated, but just enough to offer a great grip, robustness and balance with serious goals. New firmware for the S1 and S1r have been released with iBIS and Dual IS stabilization improvements, enhancements to the video sector and some AF features. The firmware of the 24-105 and 70-200 targets have also been updated. In the production logic of Panasonic is undeniable the great technological effort presented with the new FF system, certainly perfectable, but already up to compete and often surpass the other brands on the market. This is not a camera for those looking for small and read things. This is a camera for those looking for consistency, professional results and a build quality that guarantees many years of use, included in extreme conditions if necessary. |
 | sent on March 30, 2019 Pros: Feeling solidity, made general optics kit especially for the naturalness of the volumes, pleasantiness of the native file, manageability in the use Cons: Weight over standard Opinion: Taken yesterday and studied in the evening, from former owner of SL I can say that I immediately seemed the same room disguised in everything and everything, charged the battery (similar, but unfortunately not compatible) and tested this morning with the 24-105 in Kit... 167 test Images. The machine is tough, beautiful solid, with a lot of commands arranged in a clever but original at the same time: you have to make a habit! All tender and fast, in a moment you get the variation you expect and the shot is almost too fast and at the beginning escapes sometimes, less instinctive the menu, although compared to panapiccolette the groupings with Ideogram help to make understand where you are Moving. The viewfinder is simply the best possible, with a feeling of reality that made me fear not to rediscover the beauty I saw... I thought it was a little fake! Instead I open the files now, and the surprise is remarkable... The colors and the feeling of a creamy added quality on the colors is at the top, the same for natural balance and brightness of the backgrounds. The lens is perfect at all focal lengths, with a strange tendency to become a technique at 24mm, focal where you have to underexpose a hair to have the same footprint that is from 35mm up: The real pleasantness of blurry, the sensation of naturalness and visual harmony that MOL TO be rarely found in modern lenses (tendentially dry and full of soulless resolution). The coupling between this lens and the balanced file, harmonious without being forcibly enriched is an experience that can amaze, from the volumes in a wide-angle position to the perception of the form from 50mm up, with a 105mm that looks even more tele for Perspective crushing. I realize just now that I'm looking at the native JPG, (maybe a hair of artifacts in thin wires to 100%, but just beautiful) and I expect a lot from the Raw, although I do not care too much aspects related to cleaning the file (or similar journeys). I Still have not put to the whip the stabilizer and I do not care about the thousand variants of focus... Until now it is very precise with central point and enough, I trust the rest! I Think what I wanted I found it, and it's just the beginning. Well, the right machine that does not make me regret the slightest one that I left, indeed so at first impact I have a few more things, on the other hand, fortunately, I do not need cameras that save life.... Good Pictures! |
