$(document). ready(function() { SampleGalleryStripV2({"galleryId":"1461443213","isMobile":false}) }) The Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 is the company's mid-level full-frame mirrorless camera, built around the L-mount developed by Leica and now supported by Sigma and Panasonic.
It features an image-stabilized 24MP sensor and is capable of shooting at up to 9 frames per second. The S1 can also shoot 4K/60p video from an APS-C region of its sensor or oversampled 4K/30p from its full sensor width. A multi-shot high-res mode lets it create 96MP Raw files and a paid upgrade enables 10-bit V-Log shooting.
The S1, along its sibling the S1R, also features one of the highest-resolution electronic viewfinders on the market: a 5. 7M-dot OLED panel that runs at 120Hz and promises very little lag.

Alongside the S1 and its higher-resolution sibling, the S1R, Panasonic also announced 50mm F1. 4, 24-105mm F4 and 70-200mm F4 lenses for the L system. They're priced at $2299, $1299 and $1699, respectively. Both cameras are also compatible with existing Leica SL lenses as well as APS-C 'TL' glass.
A battery grip (DMW-BGS1) is available for around $350.
What's new and how it compares
