Danilo Del Tufo Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 According to L-Rumors' website it will be a new camera from Panasonic this year, a new cinema camera called "S1V". The camera will have the same form factor of S1H, but finally enhanced DFD autofocus, and other interesting features. I dunno if it could happen, but I think it's possible, this is the link of the rumor: https://www.l-rumors.com/very-wild-rumors-about-a-new-panasonic-s1v-l-mount-cinema-camera/#disqus_thread What do you think about it, guys? Have you heard something about it too? IronFilm and Emanuel 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 People only have eyes and ears to COVID-19 these days, I'm afraid. Thanks to be a breeze, Danilo : ) Keep safe at home. Hope you all in Naples are OK : -) Danilo Del Tufo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danilo Del Tufo Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Dear Emanuel, all Italians are at home, me too. Hope we'll have some good news about it soon, I hope you're at home too, safe. I'm ok for now, I'm trying to be informed about new cameras despite COVID-19, but I know everyone having hard times in the world. In Naples there are no so many cases, instead North Italy has a more dangerous situation... Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinad Amir Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 This could be epic if the spec is true plus DR on current S1H is killer 14stops Danilo Del Tufo and IronFilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on their track record I give this a 5% chance of being anywhere close to Sony/Canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panasonic could have learned the lesson, the only thing that disappoints everyone is the autofocus, so I suppose they will try to address this feature. Probably they will try first to enhance the S1H's autofocus, I hope. If they don't provide a good autofocus I won't buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazeballs Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Advanced DFD doesnt sound very optimistic. I wish they would just add PDAF everyone is asking for the past 4 years. Danilo Del Tufo, Emanuel and buggz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video Hummus Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I thought they said 2020 will be a focus on MFT. But at this point I have very little faith their will be a market for any camera. I might have to film the apocalypse on my GH5S...😫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GH6(?), and it, hopefully, offers more bang for the buck than the XT4. Panasonic should have a superb announcement video. The world of low morale indie filmmakers could do with a new M43 monster. If they announce another S Series camera ... 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
