4K60 FF: For those in need of a full-frame 4K60 camera, the S1R is the closest, with a x1.09 crop. There are options for Super35 and direct pixel reading (~x2.0?), too.
6K30 FF: Both the S1 and S1R also have 6K PHOTO mode, i.e. 6K30 in 3:2 native aspect ratio, or 5.2K30 reframed as 16:9. This can be re-processed as video for intrepid editors and other filmmakers.
The SLR-scale chassis of the S1 and S1R provides greater scope for active and passive heat dissipation than current rivals. Panasonic are being conservative with the data-rates and video specs for the moment, though.
4K30 FF: The S1 records unlimited full-frame 4K30
Var.: Full EVA V-LOG, Hybrid LOG Gamma (note HEVC72mbps~=150mbps), XLR module, PL cine & EF autofocus compatibility (i.e. ART14-24, SPORTS70-200), colour-matching with G series.
Specs: Good overview, as of February 2019.
Expectations:
Apart from premium firmware for the S1 coming later this year, I'd expect general firmware for both the S1&S1R to improve AF and data rates in the course of the cameras' life cycles to bring the data rates in line with the G9/GH5S at 400mbps (i.e. once the launch stage clears, and they can direct labour from 1-80% to 81-100% tasks).
Panasonic emphasised that both are photographically-focussed, though the S1 also tilts to video. This assertion, along with conventions established by Sony, and the analogous G series lines (i.e. GH5), suggests that an S1S or S1-EVA video-focussed L mount S series camera will release (perhaps with an integrated grip for even greater thermal regulation.)
In the interests of stability, this would likely be once the kinks are ironed out of the first wave of first-gen cameras.
In the interests of competitive advantage, this would likely occur after the release of the Sony A7SIII (which, itself, was likely postponed to respond in kind to the S series.)
Clarity:
I've started this thread to redress disinformation and confusion. I also noted curious features that I thought warranted attention.
This thread is for ADVANCING CLARITY for those studying the strengths of the S series, not for criticising omissions nor for deriding the efforts of Panasonic, Sony, Nikon et al. (Feel free to make separate threads for opinions or tussles, so this thread can be kept relatively easy to navigate and find.)
Please add links to useful tutorials, analyses, contexts, clarifications, specification details and updates with an emphasis upon accuracy, practical use/results, and proportion-rather-than-hyperbole (if possible
)
