Panasonic Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera

[PCI-Express 3.0] I brought this card for my Panasonic Lumix GH6 Mirrorless Camera, it works great, however what I did not know is that 4K recording is only giving you about 42 mins recording time.

Let me start by saying that there is no perfect unicorn camera, but this camera presents itself as a next wave, mirrorless powerhouse. Panasonic upgraded this camera from the GH5 family in so many ways. The list of features all deliver and the look of the image is just incredible. I have used it on a few shoots and have not been afraid to use any of its video quality settings. I have no fear of overheating and the unlimited record limit keeps my mind on my shots and not the camera. Some things on it could still be better (I'm not going to say it), but it is a big improvement from the GH5. Also, in a time when camera manufacturers can easily get greedy, Panasonic obviously chose to keep the price at a point that makes sense.

[1.23 lb] I have used a variety of mirrorless cameras, starting with Sony A7s and A7rII and then the GH5 and most recently the Canon EOS R. The only camera that Ive held on to long-term is the GH5, so I was very excited when I heard Panasonic was releasing a full-frame mirrorless camera. Now that it has arrived, it is truly the most professional, robust, and beautiful mirrorless camera Ive used.  To complement my GH5, I wanted a full-frame mirrorless as well. I bought and tested out the Canon EOS R, but found it frustrating ergonomically and with hindered video specs (big crops, no stabilization, etc), it required a lot of compromises. It took beautiful images, but for video (which is what I mostly do), the GH5 outperformed it in every way.  Next to the EOS R (and definitely all the Sonys), the Panasonic S1 feels like a true professional camera. Its a bit heavier than the other mirrorless cameras, but since I mainly use Sigmas 24-70, 18-35, or 50-100mm, once you have the lenses on there, its not a huge difference. Its actually more comfortable because the grip is so nicely designed.  REALLY looking forward to the 10-bit, V-Log update in a couple of months as well as the Sigma EF L adapter in a few weeks. Will really help make this camera shine.  With Sigma officially on board to make a lens collection and with Panasonics track record of amazing lenses, the L-Mount and Panasonics full frame cameras will be the system to beat in the near future.

[Glass] I use this filter on a camera with an integral (i.e., non-interchangeable) lens without any perceptible loss of optical performance.

[Zipper] If you have a compact digital camera preferably with a zoom or even a light interchangeable lens one to which you can attach an extension tube between the body and lens (or use a screw in diopter CU lens). You'll have to experiment a little, and watch the (conservative) attachment weight limit. The 2 position arm allows it to adjust for different distances. It even accommodates cell phone with included accessory.

[Autofocus] I purchased this camera as my first interchangeable lens camera, and I haven't regretted my choice. My main concerns from other reviews I read were its size and the lack of a dedicated ISO control, but neither has proved to be an issue. I have large hands and it fits comfortably in my had (I never accidentally hit any buttons). It is also easy to switch between aperture and ISO control. I was between this and the F-T3, and I don't regret my choice.
