Last week, Panasonic announced the S1RII, the second-generation version of its high-resolution camera. While the original model was mainly focused on stills, the S1RII is being billed as a hybrid camera with the ability to shoot 8K video.
The video chops are possible because Panasonic is using a new 44MP sensor, which has a slightly lower resolution than the 47MP model found in the S1R. Thankfully, we got the chance to shoot some initial samples with while in Japan to cover CP+, and we’ve put together a sample gallery. It also includes a few examples of the camera’s handheld multi-shot mode, which produces 177MP images.
We’ll be shooting a lot more with the S1RII in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
