Here are the leaked Panasonic Lumix S1R II camera pictures and specifications from Chinese social media (announcement on February 25th):
The new Panasonic Lumix S1rII is rumored to use a new 44MP Sony sensor. Here are the impressive specs! -
As you know, Sony released the 44MP IMX366 sensor 1-2 years ago. This is a fast sensor that may or may not appear in the new Sony A7V in the future. My gut tells me that the A/V will still keep the 33MP resolution... But I heard an interesting competitor rumor: Panasonic will release a new S1rII next week with a brand new 44MP sensor. I’m guessing this will be a variation of Sony’s new IMX366 sensor, and the rumored specs are pretty impressive.
Here are the full specs for the Panasonic Lumix S1RII:
- New 44MP “high-speed” sensor
- 40fps burst shooting with electronic shutter
- 10fps burst shooting with mechanical shutter
- 8-stop image stabilization - 176MP high-resolution mode via sensor shift… handheld(!) and 8-image composite
- 1.5 second pre-capture
- 8k30p video
- 4K120 uncropped
- 8.1K Open-Gate coming later via firmware update
- Internal 6K ProRes RAW HQ recording
- Internal RAW video recording: ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422 and proxy
- Recording to external SSD via USB-C
- Supports multiple frame markers: 2.39:1, 2.35:1, 2.00:1, 1.85:1, 16:9, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 and custom
- 32-bit floating point audio
- Multi-angle flip screen, similar to A9III/A1II
- Body size is roughly the same as Lumix S5II (slightly thicker)
- Dust and water resistant design with heat dissipation system
- Red record button on the front of the camera near the corner of the mount
- Red tally lights on the front and back
- The price is about $3,500
- Release time: February 25 at 2 pm (London time)
This camera is designed to compete with the Canon R5II and Nikon Z8. Imagine if the A7V could have these specifications for $2,500.
