Highlights

  • A robust 24MP full-frame L-mount camera built for stills and video with pro handling.

  • 4K/60p video and a high-res mode, anchoring Panasonic's full-frame system.

Who it's for

The Panasonic LUMIX S1 is a 24.2MP full-frame mirrorless camera, a versatile all-rounder. Here's where it fits and what to keep in mind.

Best for

  • Vlogging and handheld video — flip-out screen and a mic input.
  • Travel and the outdoors — in-body stabilisation plus weather sealing.
  • Low-light and events — a large full-frame sensor and ISO to 51,200.

Keep in mind

  • !Single card slot — no in-camera backup, which matters for critical paid jobs.
