Video has never been this good in a full-frame mirrorless camera. Panasonic’s Lumix mirrorless cameras are widely regarded as the best choice for anyone looking to create a beautiful video within a low budget. Recently, the company is proud to announce the newest full-frame mirrorless camera, the LUMIX S1H, which with higher quality and resolution, and once again proves that Panasonic is willing to give filmmakers the features they need. LUMIX S1H is a full-frame shooter capable of recording 6K video at 24fps.The fresh iteration of the Lumix S1.

As the world's first camera capable of video recording at 6K/24p (3:2 aspect ratio), 5.9K/30p (16:9 aspect ratio), and 10-bit 60p 4K/C4K. The Lumix S1H scheduled to launch in the fall. It combines the video quality of a professional camera and the high mobility of a mirrorless camera. This bump in resolution capability should be a big help for people shooting 4K too, as it will allow them to crop in or apply video stabilization without losing image quality as they otherwise would.

The LUMIX S1H features V-Log/V-Gamut with a wide dynamic range of 14+ stops, which should help it capture detail even in extremely dark or bright sections of a scene. It is virtually the same as those of the Panasonic Cinema VariCam. Designed under consistent color management, the S1H's recorded footage is compatible with V-Log footage recorded by VariCam or the LUMIX GH5/GH5S.

Lumix S1H has a LED rear screen with tilting/free-angle mechanism design which can be rotated to make it useful for vlogging and other similar applications. The LCD also boasts excellent specs, with a 2.33m-dot resolution and large 3.2" dimensions.

An interesting change is the use of two SD card slots, as opposed to the XQD/SD combo of the other S Series bodies. These are speedy UHS-II V90 slots and having them matched will make media management easier for filmmakers desiring to use simultaneous recording or automatic switching settings.

Using 5-axis sensor-shift technology and Dual I.S. 2.0 with supported lenses, the Lumix DC-S1H can compensate for up to 6 or 6.5 stops of camera shake. This is useful for video and stills shooting and will help ensure sharp imagery.

Durability is another selling point of the S Series, with splash and dust-resistant construction.

Finally, the camera is equipped with the L lens mount. This permits the use of a wide range of lenses from the L-Mount Alliance, with Leica and Sigma, and its short flange distance makes adapting lenses easier. This means you can adapt some classic lenses from your old SLR and DSLRs or even get adapters to work with professional PL-mount cinema lenses. It is the final piece that makes the Lumix DC-S1H an effective tool for stills and video.

The Lumix S1H is priced at US$3,999 and is expected to be available at the end of September, while the new Lumix S Pro lens is priced at US$2,200.
