Our editorial take on the Panasonic Lumix S1II
The Panasonic Lumix S1II arrives as a competent hybrid full-frame mirrorless camera at $1,999, positioned to compete in the crowded mid-tier space with a spec sheet that leans heavily into video. The partially stacked 24.1-megapixel sensor and L2 processor deliver 70 fps bursts with full autofocus tracking, 8-stop IBIS, and a robust 779-point phase-hybrid AF system that now includes comprehensive subject detection. On the video side, it offers internal ProRes RAW recording, 6K open gate, DCI 4K up to 120p, dual native ISO at 100/800, and unlimited recording time, all wrapped in a weather-sealed magnesium body.
The S1II targets creators who need flexibility across both stills and motion work. The dual CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD card slots, real-time LUT support, Frame.io C2C integration, and 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording make it a serious tool for professional video workflows. The 96-megapixel handheld high-res mode and improved AF performance expand its stills capabilities beyond previous S-series bodies. With a single review available praising it as Panasonic's best effort yet, the S1II represents a clear step forward in addressing long-standing criticisms of the L-Mount system, particularly in autofocus reliability and video codec options.
