In contrast to Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds G-series cameras, the Panasonic S1 sports a larger full-frame sensor that's sized to the 3:2 aspect ratio. This holds a total of 25.28MP, with 24.2MP effective, which places it at the same level as the Sony A7 III and Nikon Z6, and just slightly behind the 26MP Canon EOS RP. This sensor works across a sensitivity range of ISO100-51,200, but you can adjust this down to a setting equivalent to ISO50 and up to ISO204,800-equivalent if you need to.
The sensor works with a new Venus Engine, and for the times where 24.2MP just doesn't cut it you can call upon a new High Resolution mode. This troubles the sensor-based image stabilization system – more on that in a second – to capture eight images at once, with minute adjustments in the sensor's position between each one, before blending them into a 96MP (12,000 x 8,000-pixel) composite. What's particularly good to discover is that these are output as raw files rather than JPEGs, so you can still process them as you would do any other raw file.
Panasonic currently has three L-mount lenses available for the S1, namely the Lumix S Pro 50mm f/1.4, Lumix S Pro 70-200mm f/4 O.I.S. and the Lumix S Pro 24-105mm f/4 Macro O.I.S., and it's the latter that currently serves as the default kit lens. Panasonic has also pledged to make 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8 and 16-35mm f/4 lenses available throughout 2019, along with two teleconverters, and four further optics in 2020. This will result in 10 lenses in total by the end of 2020, a range that will be bulked up by 18 from Leica (including existing options) and 14 that will shortly arrive from Sigma.
