$(document). ready(function() { SampleGalleryStripV2({"galleryId":"7340148154","isMobile":false}) }) 90%Overall scoreJump to conclusion The Panasonic S1H is a full-frame mirrorless camera designed specifically with videographers in mind.
It includes advanced video features such as 6K resolution, 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording, V-Log gamma, video scopes, anamorphic support and numerous small details a videographer would love. As a bonus, it's also a very competent 24MP stills camera.
Panasonic has long been at the vanguard of mirrorless cameras aimed at videographers, and its popular GH-series of Micro Four Thirds cameras has consistently led the way with class-leading video performance. It would be easy to assume that the S1H is simply an extension of the GH line into a full-frame body, and there's certainly a bit of truth to that, but, as you'll discover, the S1H is equally an extension of Panasonic's highly regarded VariCam line of cinema cameras.

24MP full-frame CMOS sensor

4:2:2 10-bit internal recording
