Panasonic has announced the development of two mirrorless camera models with a 35mm full-frame image sensor - the Panasonic S1R and the Panasonic S1.
The 47 megapixel S1R and the 24 megapixel S1 both feature 4K 60p/50p video recording, a new Venus image processing engine, Dual I. S. image stabilisation, a double slot for XQD memory cards and SD memory cards, and a triaxial tilt LCD screen.
In a very interesting move, Panasonic are using the Leica L-Mount standard for the S1R and S1 cameras. Panasonic will release three Lumix S Series compatible lenses at the same time as the launch of the S1R and S1 cameras - the 50mm/F1. 4 prime lens, 24-105mm standard zoom lens, and 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens - and seven more by the end of 2020. Panasonic have also partnered with Leica and Sigma to develop more L-mount lenses.
The Panasonic S1R and the Panasonic S1 will be exhibited at Photokina 2018.
