Panasonic Lumix S1 Review

The Lumix S1 is not the camera I thought Panasonic would build. It is bigger, heavier, and more expensive than I expected. But it is also bolder, taking risks and trying new things other companies shy away from.

Best viewfinder on the market; Excellent RAW and JPEG image quality; 96MP high resolution mode; Exceptional build quality; control layout; and UI; Great subject-tracking autofocus

Big; heavy; Intermittent autofocus errors

Panasonic Lumix S1 review: Pushing your limits

Where other camera brands are just getting started with mirrorless, it feels like the Lumix S1 and S1R are more interested in pushing boundaries forward - and that's something that's easy to get on-board with.

Stellar ergonomics; Great results & expansive lens ecosystem

Autofocus not as fast as G9; Video record button placement not ideal
