The new high-resolution camera from Panasonic is coming. But first a CONFUSING update: One source told me early this morning it will be called Lumix S1xII. But he made a typo and I DELETED my previous post!
Panasonic Lumix S1RII specs (preorder here soon):
- New 44 MP “high speed” sensor
- 40fps in electronic shutter
- 10fps in mechanical shutter
- 8 stops image stabilization
- 1.5 second pre-capture
- Open-Gate
- Price around $3,500
- Announcement: Feb 25, 1-2pm London time
I am checking the information I am getting right now, and hopefully I can share some more specs with you super soon. But in short, this camera is almost $1,000 cheaper than the Canon R5II, but offers MORE (faster fps and better video I’m told). Is that enough to make a breakthrough in sales? I don’t know, it’s hard to convince Canon-Sony-Nikon photographers when they’ve already invested in a system. But it’s certainly an exciting camera… don’t you think?
