The Lumix S1 is one of two inaugural models in Panasonic’s Lumix S series, the other being the high-resolution S1R. With its 35mm format 24.2MP sensor, it is designed to compete with existing full-frame mirrorless models such as the Sony A7 III, Nikon Z6 and Canon EOS R.

There are however only a couple of mirrorless models capable of competing with the S1 for video, one of which is Panasonic’s very own Lumix GH5. In this comparison preview, we’re going to be exploring how the two compare, not only in the video department, but also in other ways such as the design, stabilisation capabilities, autofocus performance and more.

Panasonic has launched the S1 and S1R, making it the fifth camera company to release a full-frame mirrorless system in what has now become a very crowded market.

The S1 offers very interesting video specifications, as well as five-axis stabilisation, the highest resolution viewfinder on the market and many other features, all packed inside a large and robust body.

Its most natural competitor is the Sony A7 III, whose performance and popularity is unmatched in the mirrorless world (if not the digital camera market in general). The two cameras have some important specifications in common such as a 35mm format sensor, 24.2MP of resolution and an ISO range of 100 to 51200, with extended values up to 204800 ISO.

This week, Sony announced the latest model in its range of mirrorless cameras with an APS-C sensor: the a6400. Unlike the existing models in the line-up, it features a LCD screen that flips up 180 degrees to facilitate v-logging and selfie shooting, and a more advanced autofocus system.

Another popular model that houses an APS-C sensor is Canon’s EOS M50. Despite being an entry level model, it is the first camera in the line-up to feature the new DIGIC 8 image processor and 4K video. Because it shares a number of characteristics with the Sony camera, we felt it would be interesting to pick out the main differences and by doing so, hopefully help you decide which is best for your needs.
