Lumix S1rII PRESS TEXT (deepl translated)
Panasonic introduces the Lumix S1RII, a full-frame mirrorless camera for professional photographers and videographers. The camera has a newly developed 44.3 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and a powerful L2 processor, which together enable a high level of detail and a wide dynamic range of up to 14 f-stops. The native ISO range extends from ISO 80 to 51,200 and can be extended to ISO 40 to 102,400.
Improved autofocus and fast continuous shooting function
The phase-hybrid autofocus of the Lumix S1RII utilizes 779 focusing points and AI-supported subject recognition for people, animals, vehicles and other subjects.The camera can take continuous shots at up to 40 frames per second in electronic shutter mode – with continuous focus tracking (AF-C). A pre-burst mode saves images before the actual shutter release so that spontaneous moments are not missed.
Functions such as white balance and ISO sensitivity can be accessed directly at the top of the housing via dedicated buttons.
Optimized image stabilization and high-resolution photos
The camera has internal 5-axis image stabilization on the image sensor (IBIS), which enables compensation of up to 8 f-stops. In combination with a compatible lens and Dual I.S., up to 7 f-stops of stabilization are possible in the telephoto range.
For high-resolution images, the Lumix S1RII offers a high-resolution mode that captures eight images with a slightly offset sensor position and composes them into a 177 megapixel file. This mode is available for both JPEG and RAW images and enables detailed results without a tripod. L-rumors.com
Advanced video functions with Open Gate and RAW recording
For the first time, a Lumix camera offers internal 8K video recording at 30 frames per second. In addition, the Lumix S1RII supports Open Gate recording, which utilizes the entire sensor area in 3:2 format for video recording in 6.4K resolution. This offers filmmakers maximum flexibility in post-production, as they can crop the required aspect ratio (e.g. 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16) later. Panasonic has also announced a firmware update for 2025 that will also enable Open Gate recordings in 8.1K and 7.2K.
Apple ProRes RAW HQ can be recorded internally at 5.8K at 30p on CFexpress Type B cards or an SSD hard drive connected via USB. RAW videos can even be output to external recorders in 8K via HDMI. The Lumix S1RII also offers the option of recording a proxy file with a low bit rate in parallel. This is linked to the original video and enables more efficient post-production.
Robust protection and other features
The robust magnesium alloy housing is protected against dust and splash water and is frost-proof down to -10 °C.The Lumix S1RII also offers new sensor protection: when the camera is switched off, the mechanical shutter can be closed automatically to protect the sensor from dust when the lens is changed.
The camera has a 5.76 megapixel OLED viewfinder and a folding and swiveling 3-inch touch display with 1.84 million pixels.Two memory card slots are available for storage: one for CFexpress type B cards and one for SDHC/SDXC (UHS-II) cards.
Optimized workflow and enhanced connectivity
The Lumix S1RII is the first Lumix system camera to support Capture One Tethering.This enables direct image transfer to a computer. In addition, the camera is compatible with Adobe Camera to Cloud, so that image and video files can be automatically uploaded to the cloud and edited there.
Two apps are available for an enhanced user experience: The LUMIX Lab app enables, among other things, the easy transfer, editing and management of LUTs (Look-Up-Tables) to use color styles directly in the camera or on the smartphone. The new LUMIX Flow app supports video productions from planning to editing and offers functions such as automatic sorting of recordings and the use of the smartphone as an external monitor.
Price and availability
The recommended retail price is €3,599 for the Lumix S1RII without lens and €4,499 for the kit with the 24-105 mm F4 Macro O.I.S. standard zoom.

This teaser image for a Sigma FP camera presentation is shared on Weibo. The image shows the X3 logo, which stands for the famous Foveon technology! I honestly don’t know if the image is FAKE or REAL. The skeptic in me knows that Sigma CEO Yamaki said the development would take a long time. So I would be very surprised to see a camera like this at the CP+ show. At best we can hope it’s real, but what we’re getting is just a prototype. Something that won’t be on the market for another 1-2 years. What do you think?
If the teaser is legit than we can definitely assume a couple of things:
Some history: EXACTLY 9 years ago Sigma announced their last Foveon camera you can still find here: https://amzn.to/3QwfXgU.
Will Sigma make NEW history next week? I am praying to the old and new gods that this teaser is REAL!
What you see here is the official invitation for a Sigma product announcement that will take place on 25 February at 19:00 in Shanghai.
The teaser text says:
Return and Restart – a soliloquy of the self
Simple Things and Objects – A testament to Mental Power and Composure
It’s rumored we might get a Sigma 800mm f/6.3 Sony E and Leica L-mount lens…but maybe there something more?
