Description — Panasonic S1R II
The Panasonic LUMIX S1R II is a full-frame mirrorless camera built around a 44.3MP BSI CMOS sensor and the L2 image processing engine. It is a hybrid body in the real sense: stills shooters get burst shooting up to 40 fps with the electronic shutter and a 779-point Phase Hybrid AF system with AI subject detection, while video is covered by 8K 30p 10-bit internal recording.
The camera uses the L-Mount, so it accepts lenses from Panasonic, Leica, and Sigma. The magnesium alloy body is weather sealed and carries 5-axis in-body image stabilization, a 5.76M-dot OLED viewfinder with a 120Hz refresh rate, and two card slots covering CFexpress Type B and SD. Power comes from the DMW-BLK22 battery.
