You sure? The S1 and S1R were identical bodies from what I remember. Looking at them on CameraSize they're pretty much indistinguishable other than the badge, same dimensions and everything.

Yes, sorry, I read and was thinking S1H!

Anyway, I'm interested in this. I think I'm ready for an S line with a dedicated video/photo button, top LCD and EVF and no crop.

A lot of leaked photos on l-rumors

But why 24-60mm? Of all the lenses they could have developed for this launch..

I mean if they use some sort of z6iii sensor with the same sort of read out speed but put a great OLPF in front of it plus Arri logC I’m kind of interested.

It looks pretty compact, which is nice, but yeah. Lumix did talk about making smaller lenses for the S9, perhaps this is one of them?

I'd prefer a compact 24-60 over the 28-70 I have. I find those first 4mm much more useful than the last 10mm

For me personally, after getting so much use out of the 20-60 kit lens, I'd have preferred something on the wider end like that with a constant aperture. Maybe a f4?

Totally agree, somehow the jump from 24-28 feels way more than just 4mm for me. 

20-60 / 2.8 or 4.0 would have been very welcomed.

I only got the 20-60 as a kit at the time of purchase, the body only was not available. I Figured it would just sit in the box until I sold the body, but surprisingly I have used it way more than I ever anticipated using a slow split aperture lens!

Let's continue to talk about millimetres, it's fascinating stuff.

Who needs an S1H II when you have an S1 Mark ?E?E?E?E?E

E for electronic shutter, to save costs.

E for Exactly the same body as the cheapo camera from 2022 to save costs.

E for enamoured with accountancy.

E for enormous lack of creativity.

E for eeee dear.

E for End, as in the brand, and soon the entire system as well.

E for E-mount which has a 3 year old model that's twice as good.

E for erm, do I want to sign an NDA and go to some fancy Knightsbridge business lunch to see it.

N for no fucking thanks!

> Let alone replaced the S1H II I had on loan, which promptly bricked itself.

@Andrew Reid This a typo or a hint of something to come?
