Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 2021
The 24.2MP full-frame MOS sensor and Venus Engine processor deliver detailed stills, backed by a 5.76m-dot OLED viewfinder in a weather-sealed body. In-body stabilization offsets 5.5 stops of shake, and the 3.2-inch triaxial tilt touchscreen streamlines low-angle capture. It’s best for travel photographers who need a rugged, stabilized full-frame camera with high-resolution stills and 4K60 video.
