Dave & Evelyn explore Photokina 2018 in Cologne Germany to get their hands on all the latest camera and lenses that were just announced. Watch to see a few of the highlights of the show including the new Panasonic S1R, Fuji GFX 50R, and more.
Ben Fox:
“During my visit to Photokina 2018, Carol from Panasonic gives me a run down on their new mirrorless cameras the Lumix S1 and S1R; 2 new 24mp and 47mp Full Frame cameras that both shoot 4k60p video.”
Peter Gregg:
The Panasonic S1 and S1R cameras are not complete cameras yet. They have been announced but the specs don’t seem to be solidified. I may sound a little harsh in this video, but now is the time for them to make changes in the camera BEFORE it starts production. Not having an articulating screen – from Panasonic of all companies – is almost unimaginable!!!
Hugh:
“I think the L-mount consortium — in particular Panasonic’s first full frame mirrorless camera system the Lumix S — is the biggest news at Photokina 2018.”

Charbax: “Panasonic announces their new Full Frame camera system using the Leica L-Mount. This camera will do 4K60 with an XQD and an SD card slot, a 3-tilt display (not sure yet if that means with flip out support or not), the limitations of the 4K60 when it comes to cropping or record length limitations are not known yet. The Panasonic S1 will be 24 megapixel while the Panasonic S1R will have a 47 megapixel sensor. The camera is coming on the market early 2019 already, that is what they are saying anyway. Things like weight, exact size, battery life and other things are not announced or defined yet as this system is now under development. Hopefully Panasonic will have their autofocus technology fixed and fully usable (unlike with their GH5) in this camera.“
Kinotika: “In this video, we answer some of the questions you have about the new Panasonic S1 and S1R. Not much is being shared about these cameras, but we are trying our best to get that information out there to you!”
