The implementation is claimed to provide 5.5 stops of stabilization, and in practice, I have found this to be generally true. This is essential in flash photography, as modeling lights are often weak, or non-existant, and the scene is too dark to focus and view as it only gets proper exposure when the strobe fires. I usually leave exposure preview on the camera off, and only activated with this button pressed. On the front, between the grip and the lens mount are two further buttons – which I customize to be a magnification punch in, a boon for macro critical focus and only available to cameras with EVF, and an aperture stop down preview. S1R,showing the rear LCD information display.Īll the buttons activate positively, with good feedback, and are well placed. Sensitivity is excellent, and the experience is like using a smart phone. The rear LCD is touch screen sensitive, and many of the functions can be changed by just a touch. Yea, I told you there were a lot of buttons. With the Play, AF-On, Quick menu, Metering mode, Display mode, Delete and Return button rounding up the buttons in the back. There are three wheels in total, one in front of the shutter, one on top on the right just behind the on/off switch, and the last one on the back as a jog wheel. Very useful for quick adjustments on these oft used parameters.

The LCD screen on top provides excellent information on the status of the camera, and the three WB, ISO and Exposure compensation buttons are well placed just behind the shutter release. I found that with some exceptions, most of the buttons and dials are laid out in such a way which is logical to me, perhaps as a long time GH-2 user, the layout is intuitive. It is incredible the attention to detail and the customizability of the S1R. There are myriad of buttons scattered all over the body, and all of them customizable…not only does Panasonic present you with a few options for each, but for almost all the buttons, a drop down menu of several pages is presented. The rather large grip bump provides a nice hold on the body, even with larger and heavier lenses. But for landscape, architecture, portrait, macro, the system works very well. The autofocus system is Panasonic’s Depth from Defocus (DFD) system, which is fast and accurate for all applications except for fast moving action. The S1R’s high-res 47MP full-frame sensor is equipped with built-in In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), 4Kp60 video and weather-sealing. Size comparison: S1R on the left, the GH-2 on the right. It is clear from the photograph below, that the S1R is much larger than the GH-2, though when compared to the latest LUMIX MFT body for photography – the G9, it is only slightly larger. Read my discussion with Peter Nievaart on the benefits of the Micro Four Thirds as the camera for watch photography here.

The body is larger than the Micro Four Thirds camera which LUMIX is very famous for.

The lens mount is the L Mount from Leica, and the sensor is exposed – showing its full frame dimensions. My focus is only on still photography, and the S1R is the weapon of choice for this purpose. Certainly a curious product positioning strategy. Many pundits think the S5 might replace the S1 as we know it now, as it surpasses the features found in the older S1, and approaches the S1H in video. Recently, Panasonic released a lower end, entry level model in the S5, which combines new features and functions for video. While all the bodies are capable of shooting video, the features and functions offered suggest a bias towards photography for the S1R, and towards video for the S1 and more advanced cinematography for the S1H. The S1 represents the apex camera in Panasonic’s lineup, and all full frame digital, all mirrorless: with the entry level S1 at 24Mp, the S1R at 47Mp and the video oriented 24Mp S1H. The LUMIX S1R is a full frame (sensor size 36mm x 24mm) mirrorless digital camera, and currently part of the S1 crop of cameras by Panasonic. Panasonic LUMIX S1R fitted here with the LUMIX S-PRO 50mm/f1.2 lens. Here is our hands-on review of this beast of a camera, with S-PRO, Leica SL and Sigma Art lenses.Ī big shout out to my friend Bobby Tonelli for the loan of the LUMIX S1R and S-PRO lenses, and to another friend Sim4Nee for the loan of the Sigma Art lenses. We managed to get our hands on a loaner Panasonic LUMIX S1R from a good friend, and shot with it as our daily camera for about 2 weeks.
