Also take a look at my *Panasonic G9* long term review: bit.ly/G9-1year Luminar 3 - bit.ly/SkylumLuminar2018 $/€10 Off Code: THS10 Lens cover shown in the video: amzn.to/2ViWths

No fancy intro, no music, no fancy transitions, and yet among the best camera reviewers on the Web.

This is too cool, your channel being recognized enough to be able to get a preproduction S1R to test. Very happy for you!

This is the best review of the S1R on the planet so far. Looking forward to your full review. Great work once again.

Wow! I've been waiting for this FROM YOU.. Thank you very much! Keep up the high quality of production.

Excellent review/preview as always. As has been stated before, no anoying music, weird transitions and other silly things. Very well made, high quality, good narration and information that's very to the point! Unfortunately I can't give two thumbs up for the video so you'll have to satisfy with one :) Regards Rasmus

I always enjoy your reviews and the knowledge you impart.

I've been following the S1 series closely. This is the best look I have seen yet of the S1R. Great job! As usual, you provide many examples and you cover the features very well. Your high praise of the overall image quality is what I was looking for. I'll be watching for your complete review after the camera is in production; and the S1 as well! Hopefully there will be an ultra-wide lens suitable for real estate photography very soon.

You’re in my Top 5 reviewers and always look forward to your insight. Thanks!

Thanks a lot!! I'll wait for the S1 Review!

For the new FF Panasonic S1, all we were waiting was: "hello, my friends!". :) Great pre-production sample review.

As usual, a very good review from you sir. Thank you, I'll be waiting for the S1 review as well.

I have always been impressed by how natural the Panasonic color science is. It's simply a joy to look at its images.

Great initial review by someone who knows Lumix cameras. Look forward to the final review.

This is by far the best damn review on KZfaq. I have to hug you THS

As always....great video....as Jay said...almost the best reviewer on the web !! Congrats and go on !!!

Thank you so much! Great review without “fanboyism”. As usually. Only like.

hey man, thax for awesome reviews. I still doubt it about Sony7iii 8 bit thingy! should I worried ?Do I need get a 10bit camera or sony is just fine for shooting videos?

Excellent review, impressive reviewing and shooting skills, subscribed. Seeing this from China makes the image quality like something from the future😍

A video I was waiting for thank you love that shot of the bridge 2:38

Awesome review. You answered all my questions.

I bought a G9 based on your informative reviews, looking forward to seeing what you think of the S1 once you've had it for a while!

I do agree with the others, one of the best reviews out there. Thank you.

best plain language review i've seen yet, no hype, no bs, beautiful examples, i'll buy one with the 24-105 which appears to have much better edge to edge sharpness than canon, nice goin'.

Nice review, straight to the point and very nicely presented. Also the camera seems to be very good, but it will have a tough time against the competition.

Well done, another great review.

This is how you design buttons and dials, CANON...

Hopefully you will have the opportunity to view the comparison's between S1 and A7iii in the future. That one I look forward to. Thanks for your reviews.

Great review as always

Thank you for a concise informative review.

Nice review, I just really hope prices go down a bit after release. One question, at 0:17 the peak design strap you're using is it the Slide or Slide Lite version ?

Excellent review!

Panasonic S1 will be my next camera along with the Nikon D850 for weddings, S1R too expensive. I will buy with the KIT 24-105 and maybe the 70-200 F2.8 when it is available, they say it will be released by the middle of this year. I look forward to the revision of S1. You are extraordinary The Hybrid Shooter, there are few serious and impartial reviewers like you.

Wonderful video I am currently saving for the s1 with the hope that by the time I have enough, Sigma will have new lenses available.

Great review! Appreciated. I only missed a dynamic range test. Cheers.

I'm super excited to see how this pairs with the sigma art lenses. Like the 105mm and 85mm f1.4... 🤤

I gladly appreciate your thoroughness

Nice review. I'm currently using the GH5s

I’m a Nikon dslr shooter . I really like the looks of this camera. It seems to function extremely well. I believe in the short future Panasonic will one of the best af systems . The build seems phenomenal and as a professional event and live music photographer and videographer this is important to me . Thanks for your very good review

Thanks for the nice review. I like the overall form factor. I have no use for top side displays, since they take away too much of the most valuable space on a camera, the top plate. I would have rather seen another programmable dial and perhaps another function button. It will be an interesting comparison between this camera and the Nikon Z7, which currently is the only competition in my opinion. I really like the new menu system with the second tier of selections. Finally, having used both extensively, for a stills oriented camera, the tilting rear display is the better option for me. I like the centered display right behind the lens and the discrete tilt up or down without anyone knowing what you are doing. Perfect for street shooting. This is a very good first shot at a FF Professional level camera for Panasonic. I look forward to seeing what you have to say about the S1. Now, let us see what Panasonycon is going to do about the entry level price point that Canon has thrown down!!

As plenty of others have state: the best pre-production Panasonic S1R review out there yet! Excellent and quality content. I'm really happy for Panasonic. They nailed it. I've been trying to find fault with this camera. And I can't. The compromises they made were smart ones. I think they only thing remotely worth finding fault with is the price. But as this camera is geared for professionals and so packed with excellent features, the price is quite reasonable. Professionals just don't upgrade cameras often. This camera should give excellent results for plenty of years if the production version is as solid as it should be. Considering how they did with the GH5, GH5s and G9, we shouldn't expect anything otherwise. I recently saw a review of the new Panasonic 50mm f/1.4 S for the new camera and the reviewer was absolutely giddy about it! In short and in my words: a Zeiss Otus-caliber lens WITH super-fast and quiet AF at half the price AND Leica-quality certified! I saw a new video by Panasonic for the S1 and 50mm lens and it is truly impressive. And that was with the much-lesser pixel count of the S1.... I wish I can join the fun as I'm firmly in the Panasonic m43 camp. With the variety of work that I do, the quality of Panasonic m43 is more than up to the task. I know I'll get a larger format sensor eventually for higher-end work and Medium Format Phase One is at the top of my list. If Panasonic engineers are passionate photographers, the Phase One folks are fanatics! But you pay for that fanaticism as well. The Phase One 'refurbished' digital back and new camera body is 8x the price of the S1R. But those are cameras you can use for 10 years as well for high-paying jobs. When the time comes, it's going to be a tough call.... Panasonic, you have really been doing a fantastic job especially the last few years. Keep up the fantastic work and thank you for working with The Hybrid Shooter to produce excellent, informative and smart content!

Hmm I need loan, I was waiting for Panasonic to make full frame. Nice review.

Thinking of picking one up with the kit lens for landscape photography; love my G9 but I outgrew the sensor. Can you comment on the sharpness of the 24-105mm across the zoom range? Does it stay razor sharp as you move towards the telephoto end? I rarely shoot at 105mm but it needs to be pin sharp at 80 to meet my needs (24mm, 50mm and 80mm are my most used focal lengths). Thanks from Canada :)

The best review.

Fantastic video review, thanks.

Fantastic video could you tell me if the S1r has a photo aps-c crop mode for shooting Wildlife

Dekuji za hezke review Panasonic S1 a S1R, take budu muset navstivit Bratislavu.

Great review, first thought I mostly do pictures suffice it to say I think the S1 would be an excellent choice for me price point, being value reason number one, reason two file size shooting raw on the pc takes up alot of space and PC power, point two I glad they don't have an articulating screen on it purchase the monitor that you showed on the video, I had a flip screen on my Canon 60D I felt like it was going to break especially if I let someone else use my camera. This screen setup will not cover the HDMI port and USB charging port screen looks very durable. Maybe by the end of the year I may let Panasonic earn my business.

I agree with everyone posting apreciations for this video. You are doing great. One question: can you tell us any weakness?

great review... please review S1 and 24-105f4

can the lumix s1 similar like the sony a7 iii crop from full frame in the super 35? thanks, best review! best regards from germany :)

Great review. I am a bit uncertain regarding hand hold photo shooting due to the high resolution. Can give some more feedback on this please? THX

Nice Omega Speedmaster shot @ 10:22.

Great review. Just one side questions: Is that really your voice, because I find it hard to match it with your appearance? :)

Please can you do competition with Panasonic S1 vs bmpcc4k on Dynamic range tests

The form factor of the camera body reminds me of the Leica SL, but with smallpox infection of buttons on its magnesium skin.

Hi. What is the lens cap / cover you are using with the 24-105 in this video? I’m assuming that is third party? Thanks.

Can you use ISO 50 for video with this camera?

Damn thats a pretty hardcore limit on 4k shooting. Also L mount lense are expensive arent they?

Just if had flip out screen I will change But good job really

Just wondering, why do you set the shutter to the front dial and the aperture to the back?

Just a question :) there is a kind of electronic adapter to put m4/3 Panasonic lenses on this camera to get better reach using cropped part of the sensor? Useful feature for who is using also m4/3 Panasonic cameras and want long reach telephoto lenses for "free". You still get decent megapixel with crop I say.

Nice review, but both Pana FF cameras are way out of my price range. The G9 is what I use and am happy.

It's interesting that Panny launched it w/ f4 lenses. What's you take on the strategy, etc?

In regards to performance in temperatures. How will the S1 or, the S1R work in tempretures above 45C?

I’m seriously considering selling my a7r iii to get this. Hopefully the sigma lenses will also get dfd support.

I hope they update the firmware of the G9 for that liner focusing.

This is my next (and the kit)! I am selling all my other FF and m43 gear, and saving some more money for this one. By the time it happens, prices will go down ;) then I will invest in a Fuji x100/200 or Ricoh gr iii for street and travel and this GAS torture can end!!!

Super videa :)

I actually like this camera. I know the lenses are really expensive but I really want to get the 24-100 and the 70-200 so I can go shoot weddings. My G9 would be my secondary unit with its 7-14 and Leica 100-400.

When you take a 47 MP image and upload it to the web, doesnt it have to get downsized in order to fit the file storage specification of whatever website you upload it to? And doesnt that downsizing change the quality of the picture? And most monitors arent even 4K, which is 8MP, so isnt it wasteful to have a 47 MP sensor unless you are doing wall sized pictures? Wondering if my suspicions are true or not.

Comparing it to the A7iii what would you rate this camera? I know it's not fully released yet but if you get what I mean :D

Look at that creeper coming out from the corner LOL Timeline 5:59 you should smile more, my brother. You look like you about to rob a few banks to get this camera, LOL

I have been hands on with all three lenses as far as build quality the 50mm is much better, though I agree there is nothing wrong with build of the other two. I think it has to do with the 50 being "pro" I suppose

Hi, Could you verify if the sensor is BSI? I don't remember seeing that anywhere and I believe one of the other reviewers even said that it wasn't BSI. Could you please confirm?

Since it can shoot 6k I would like to ask: if I shoot video /picture without zooming with 6k and crop later, is the quality same as those non-6k shoot with zoom in 100mm or 200mm?

15:18 do you have heard the L-Mount cooperation between Sigma Panasonic and Leica? with this decision they solve the biggest issue.

Good review. But you failed to mention that the camera features the L mount, so there are more than three lenses available and many more coming fast.

I let the KZfaq advertisements all go through as my appreciation for you good efforts ! : )

Is the shutter release as sensitive as the G9?

The best ergo camera I've ever seen. But I'm worrying the DFD system is quite unique, so the lens need linear motor for fast CDAF, and the bokeh pattern is needed to be logged inside of the MCU in the lens. Those might make 3rd party manufacturers harder to release L-mount lenses. I hope Sigma would release L-mount specific lenses for S-1 series and their new Foveon camera with DFD compatible lenses.

Maybe make a video comparing it to the Sony A7 -9?

Exactly ten years ago, I bought a Canon 5D Mark II with 24-105L. I never bought another DSLR. Maybe the S1 or S1R with 24-105 will be my next upgrade??

Which inbody stabilisation system is more effective.Sony A7r M3 or Panasonic and what body is more reliable Thanks.Good Light!

how's the IBIS compared to the G9?

This image quality better than Fuji gfx 100?

If I see correctly, face / eye recognition only works from a short distance, am I corect? How much better is it compared to G9 (which is catastrophic, only works from 2 m away)

Tell me about that 12-35 lense. Is that a native lense for it?

I'm going to have to judge when I get one in my hand what I can say is the the portraits that Lumix release were terrible I don't know what they were doing but my GR is sharper..

I wonder how it stacks up against the Nikon z7

So how does the A7III compares to this camera?

What R stands for?

Great video. Best regards. Kai the beefilmer :)

this is kinda funny, can panasonic boyz tell me: why should i sell all my nikon it sony stuff to switch into this system?

What a beast

this camera is impressive

I just don't see the point in considering the S1R in comparison to what Sony offers for a lower price, especially considering lens price and lens availability. Also, the top screen using old LCD technology is a big turn off.

I suspect anyone would want to use this camera for vloging given it's size, weight and cost so rotatable screen isn't a must-have here
