The Panasonic Lumix S1H is a full frame mirrorless camera for serious movie makers

Panasonic has added a new face to its Lumix S Series of full frame mirrorless cameras, and it’s an absolute powerhouse. The company is pitching the DC-S1H Lumix S as a serious movie making machine, and it’s easy to see why. The new model uses a 24.2MP sensor to shoot 6K video, and is the first full frame mirrorless body to offer 6K 24p recording from the entire area of its 3:2 image sensor. The S1H is also capable of continuous recording thanks to a near-silent built-in fan that cools the body to keep the sensor and processor from overheating, and packs a multi-angle flip screen that’ll help videographers get up close and personal. A range of 4K anamorphic modes that help deliver cinema-quality footage are the icing on the cake, and will probably have some of you dreaming about how glorious your next Oscar-winning project will look shot on the SH1. Alright, maybe we’re getting a bit ahead of ourselves…

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
