Panasonic Lumix S1R

Joining their competition in the bid to create professional-level mirrorless options, Panasonic have introduced two full-frame mirrorless cameras, this model being the Lumix S1R. Utilising the existing Leica SL-mount, you can use the previously released high-quality Leica optics with your new body, or purchase on of the new lumix lenses which have been announced. Internally, the S1R features a full-frame 47MP CMOS sensor, which has been designed without a low-pass filter in order to maximise image sharpness and detail. This detail is extended right up to the top ISO of 25600, while those with sports aspirations will appreciate the camera’s top continuous shooting rate of 9 frames per second.

A tough, sturdy body, the Panasonic Lumix S1R is made of magnesium alloy, resulting in weather-resistant qualities, while its reliable shutter is rated to 400,000 cycles. As well as Panasonic’s speedy and accurate Depth from Defocus contrast-detect AF system, the S1R features built-in image stabilisation, with the possibility of Dual I.S with compatible lenses. On the ergonomic body of the S1R you will find a versatile double-hinged LCD screen for you to compose and playback your results, a top LCD panel for quickly checking your essential settings, and a high-resolution Electronic Viewfinder.
