Lumix

Lumix S1 II

Panasonic's breakthrough hybrid — a partially-stacked full-frame sensor finally brings fast readout to the S-line, with internal ProRes RAW and open-gate 6K video alongside a genuinely fast 70fps electronic burst for stills. The AF, historically Panasonic's weak point, is reworked with real subject-detection AI across people, animals and vehicles.

✅ Great For
⚡
Sports & Action 9.1 Strong on burst speed, autofocus and viewfinder. 70fps electronic burst and internal ProRes RAW in one body — few cameras cover both extremes this well.
🦅
Wildlife 8.8 Strong on autofocus, burst speed and lens reach / ecosystem.
🧑
Portrait 8.6 Strong on autofocus, image quality / low light and lens reach / ecosystem.
⚠️ Not Ideal For
📷
Casual 5.4 Held back by portability and ease of use.
📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
