Panasonic Lumix S DC-S1M2BODY
A partially stacked 24.1MP CMOS sensor enables 70fps blackout-free bursts and 6K open gate recording with 15 stops of dynamic range, a first for the LUMIX S Series. Its 5.1K 60p open gate recording and ProRes RAW HQ internal capture provide flexible, high-quality video in a 798g body with 8-stop IBIS. This hybrid workhorse is best for filmmakers and photographers who need high-speed stills and robust internal video codecs without an external recorder.
