One of my favorite reviewers, Gerald Undone, weighs in with a 17:44-long, fully chaptered take on the S1...
Panasonic S1 Review: LARGE and in CHARGE (S1 vs Sony a7 III vs GH5) - YouTube:
...finally, a fairly comprehensive AF test series covering the various Panasonic AF settings and how they translate to actual performance for both video and stills.
:)

I would think the size and weight of it would be more of a plus than a negative for hand held work. You have to have some decent bulk, and something to really hold on to to get stabilized footage walking.

I'm cutting an entire DPRTV episode shot on the S1 with 10 Bit 4:2:0 HLG. Not doing anything overly demanding, but I'm finding it has a really nice, organic look. You can all let me know what you think when it goes up this weekend.

ok so in the spirit of eoshd togetherness I have decided to share this video to see what u guys think. maybe it will inspire zach ☺️
let me explain:
i made this short at the end of last year, but I never completed the edit/fx/etc 100%. Got busy with other stuff, and I was working up my gumption to come back to it with a fresh eye.
then my iMac broke, and I have a new ‘puter on the way, but I’m anticipating the nightmare of opening resolve and Siri saying ERROR: NO MEDIA FOUND, because my files, ALTHOUGH BACKED UP, are super disorganized, there might be a few things missing, but at the very least it’ll be a big pain in the ass to relink everything to get going on this again
aannnyyyway I always feel bad for posting literally zero videos but numerous dog pics and I was like Screw it, its not perfect, but here ya go.
this is not the best file, its the one I had in icloud, there could be a better render, etc etc, and its getting murdered by youtube compression, but my first reaction watching it after not messing with it for a few months was…. …Hey~! Its not too bad! ☺️ not bad for a first film i made all by myself! imagine if I had a crew, a budget… ?
so, if youd like to see, pls check it out, and if you have any helpful feedback that involves changing/adding things, that’s great, but I do NOT have access to the actors/locations any more and there is almost no chance of me shooting additional footage, so as long as suggestions don’t involve me spending any more money on this project, I’m all in ?
at best, I think this is a cool example of what one person can do with a 5d3 in 2019 with no budget, crew, or resources whatsoever... as indie as it gets lolol
 

A wedding videographer/photographer weighs in on working with the S1 for an actual client shoot (subjective, I know). Organic-looking video thoughts? How about skin tone performance?
Panasonic S1 - Real Wedding Shoot - I'm Blown Away - YouTube:
 

I have my eye on their E2 F6 (the full frame 6K variant) so I've been following developments in their facebook group. Took some time to grade new footage from their original m43 E2 and I gotta say, it's pretty good. I had to denoise some shots and they didn't clean up as well as my EVA1 does -- probably because my EVA1's noise is finer and tight, not "clumpy". but still, based on one of their engineers saying that the F6 will be their best performing (in terms of noise) I've got my fingers firmly crossed that it will be the "vistavision" cinema camera I've been longing for... and only $5,000.
Here's that E2 footage I took a stab at grading. The last shot of the girl with the camera is my fav. Skin tones and highlight roll-off work for me.
 

I mean, the problem is solved simply by not being an annoying vlogger in the first place (referring to vloggers in general, not you particularly).

Weddings of the future:

I bought the camera for $2250 with free battery, battery grip and 3 year warranty. I'm selling the grip so it's $2000 camera for me.
I really think it's the best camera I've ever owned. I had Canon 6D, 5D IV, EOS R and tried various camera Sony A7III, A9, A7RIII.
I primarily use it for still photography. Beautiful EVF, ergonomic, great IBIS, and no banding. The AF is really good for still and the inclusion of eyeAF is much better than Canon EOS R but still no match for Sony. It also track animals.
It has alot of little things I like - quick toggle for AF-C/AF-S/Manual, quick lever for silent shutter, manual focus magnification, backlit buttons, focus bracketing, and custom modes.
This might be the first camera where I can set the setting for each scenarios I commonly shoot with - timelapse, portrait, landscape, etc. This is so great to have!
This does not have the best AF compare to Sony but it's more than usable as is for me. EyeAF is much better than Canon EOS R. I'm sure it will get further improvement.
I considered all of Nikon, Sony, and Canon offering. I ended up with Panasonic S1 based on my priority and needs - dual card slot, great EVF, good sensor, IBIS, ergonomic.
Here is a AF test done between Sony A7III vs Panasonic S1
Also, I just find out ISO 50 is a true ISO. https://www.l-rumors.com/diggloyd-panasonic-s1r-has-true-iso-50-not-a-faux-iso-kudos-to-panasonic/
This is pretty amazing for increase dynamic range.
 

The initial prototype was about as ergonomic as carrying a plane window around with you.

Only film things out the window...  boom - solved!

The useful feature to take out from that would be automatic keying. Or if you want to vlog but don't want things showing in the background.

Can’t believe I miss this thread!
 
i was on a plane recently and they have it built in on their window, I was pleasantly surprised and thinking how come no one make this for camera, and bam this thread pop up

There are at least 3 persons in this forum that can convince you that a) noone needs it b) it is a feature/advantage!

The discussion was about business licenses, with specifically the example of selling shoes. 

And no, we don't ever need a general business license or one for selling shoes. 

Yes there are some specific narrow examples which has regulations around that: alcohol and food. (and even then, there are various exemptions for example: Food stalls that sell food to raise money for charitable, philanthropic or cultural purposes, for up to 20 occasions a year on private land do not need to register.)

But if I wanted to import a dozen cameras from China tomorrow and start selling them? No problem!
Want to order a few rolls of cloth and start making my own clothing designs to sell? No problem!
Want to open a business offering website development? No problem!

It is really only once you start to get to a certain scale that the red tape really bites into you (for instance once revenue is over $60K, or once you start taking on your first employee). 

As for what all those people at the Auckland Council keep themselves busy with? Lots of permits/regulations/consents around construction (thanks guys, one of the reasons we're one of the most expensive places in the world when it comes to housing costs!), or coming up with ways to spend our ratepayer dollars...
 

Had a sweet hands-on with it! Give it a minute....still transcoding! It'll click into 4k soon....
 
 

Fran8K 4 lif yo!

Good thread. Here are some from https://www.instagram.com/cinematography/

And the Cruise. ?
 

Shot externally with an Atomos in HLG 10bit mode (higher bitrate than internal)
Looks pretty good to me, and a hint of what the internal codec upgrade will look like.
I also feel for a promo film it's above average, a very simple story but effective. A bit sentimental of course, and not perfect attention to detail in some shots, but it works.
I hope one day when I hear a piece of music it will remind me of the Panasonic S1, when I was young enough to shoot stuff and not too old and crippled to use a camera

I really like Japan’s G99 name, sounds more awesome than G90/G91/G95.

we can hope 



That Joker movie looks great tho.

Wonder is there any 120p slowmo with it.

Below are the leaks specs and along with the leaked side shot of the camera we can see that a headphone jack was added and the Mic moved out of the way of the screen.  Along with the additional of V-log L it looks like Panasonic has focused more on video with this release.  The only thing missing is 4k/60p.
