Announced at Cine Gear, the Panasonic S1H set the bar for high echelon full-frame mirrorless cameras that are serious about the professional video crowd. With headline heavy specs such as 4K 10bit 4:2:2 and 6K full-frame capture, the S1H got a lot of peoples attention at the initial camera announcement back in June.
While the full S1H specifications were unveiled months after, the announcement of the camera, while a surprise to many, was a clear signal that Panasonic were serious about pro video in a popular, DSLR-like form-factor. Panasonic recently revealed more official promo videos shot on the Panasonic S1H as to give potential new users an idea of the image quality coming out of the camera.
