Panasonic is known for its successful M43 cameras. However, the manufacturer also makes impressive full-frame cameras. The flagship has received an upgrade, the Lumix S1R Mark II.

Like its predecessor, the S1R Mark II has a 44.3-megapixel full-frame sensor. The hybrid camera can now record 8K video directly in the camera. The camera also offers the option to create a 177-megapixel photo.

The S1R Mark II is suitable for action photography, with 40 frames per second in burst modes. The mechanical shutter can reach a maximum of 10 frames per second. It is also possible to use up to 1.5 seconds of pre-burst.

The autofocus of the S1R Mark II is provided by Phase Hybrid AF. It offers AI technology for recognition and tracking. The camera offers 5-axis image stabilisation of up to 8 stops, including Active IS technology.

In addition to the available video recording options, the hybrid camera offers a range of tools. LUTs are available and you have V-Log at your disposal. The camera has an anamorphic desqueeze display in various formats, false colour, a vectorscope and much more.

The Panasonic Lumix S1R Mark II costs 3,599 euros for the body, or 4,499 euros with a 24-105mm standard zoom lens.
