This looks exactly like those Sony rumors that where floating around which proved to be ludicrous. You have to be brain dead to think that Panasonic would release a FF camera that would shoot raw between 3-4K. People are starting to believe that these corporation are Santa, they would render all there other camera line obsolete just for fun.

Yes, the company responsible for building the GH line of cameras, which is famous for pushing leading edge technology at this price point, couldn't possibly make a camera that has the RAW capabilities of a $1300 camera just released, for only three times the price.  That is completely beyond comprehension!

Still it isnt unreasonable to think that Panasonic's 'class leading technology/specs' for video largely reflect the fact that it is using a sensor one quarter the size of FF with M43. It is quite a leap of faith to suppose that Panasonic can morph all those specs to FF. (It seems pretty clear for instance that Sony is failing/struggling to bring internal 4k 60p and 10 bit to the A7s series even with all its fancy sensor tech.)

Also it seemed pretty clear from Panasonic's presentation at Photokina that its move to FF was aimed primarily at breaching its gap in the 'stills' pro market (where M43 really isnt competitive especially going forward). Personally, I suspect that Panasonic's leading videocentric hybrid will remain the GH6/7 for at least a couple of generations and that people will happily pay a premium for its faster frame rates, greater bit depth and thicker bit rates that can be achieved by FF. The S1R was presented as the camera for 'ultimate picture creation' at their presentation - so its difficult to envision it with class video specs.

Agreed there with you in general. 

But we can hope the Panasonic S1 will at least broadly match the capabilities of the Nikon Z6? And no less.
