Panasonic DC – S1R Full Frame Mirrorless Body

Panasonic‘s high-resolution entry into the full-frame mirrorless world, the Lumix DC- S1R. The S1R pairs impressive and versatile imaging capabilities with a durable physical construction. The S1R boasts a full-frame 47.3MP MOS sensor, paired with a Venus Engine, to produce detailed, high dynamic range stills along with video recording up to 4K60p. The sensor’s design omits a traditional low-pass filter in order to achieve the greatest sharpness. On-chip aspherical micro lenses promote greater sensitivity, light condensation, and color response. Additionally, the sensor and processor work to achieve a top expanded sensitivity of ISO 51200 along with quick 9 fps continuous shooting rate. Complementing both stills and video capabilities, the image sensor also utilizes an advanced DFD contrast-detection autofocus system for quick and precise focusing and subject tracking. Additionally, sensor-shift image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by 5.5 stops for sharper handheld shooting.
