Sorry this video is a little delayed. We spent over 12 hours trying to render the damn thing (Cheers Premiere!!!). Let us know what you think of the S1H down in the comments below!
Here are the timestamps for the video structure.
Physical - 01:07
Menu - 05:50
Tech Specs - 14:58
Creative - 19:53
Why do you think it took so long to render?! Did it have to do with the 6K footage?
12 HOURS!
WOW! You guys are a tenacious bunch aren't you?
Thanks so much for going to all that trouble to bring us this. I for one really appreciate it.
A lot of people take watching videos for granted and don't really acknowledge the amount of work that it takes to produce one, so I just wanted to let you know that I respect your efforts and work.
Thanks again.
@@TOKYObrah It was because the timeline was massive with a range of different codecs (CRM, A bunch of S1H codecs, XAVC-S, XAVC-I, R3D, ProRes). Plus all the colour grading. Lumetri was crashing towards the end of the render. If it didn't crash 3 times it would have been a 3 hour render. Jake
@@PHSPictures Haha appreciate the kind words! Lumetri was crashing towards the end of the render each time which is why it took so long :( Jake
Maybe it's time to switch to resolve?
This is the best comprehensive breakdown of the S1H so far. Amazing job! Also that one girl is dressed like Kitana from Mortal Kombat lol
This is the 5th TH-cam review I've seen on the S1H and it is by far the best. Professional videographers should love this review.
The Black Magic Pocket 6K seemed to perform quite well against the S1H in your tests, which is interesting considering the $1,500 price difference. But as I looked at your sample video you provided for each camera I liked the S1H the best - I thought it looked sharper and richer. But that's just me.
mediamannaman I think sharpness has more to do with the lens. I own both cams, but my own impression is the bm 6k has better color and the image is more organic.
Both terrific, both with pros and cons. For instance, my S1H didn’t come with a fork lift.
@@avarmadillo organic? You mean softer. The OLPF gives the S1H an organic image and does something special to highlights.
Atomos is now working with Panasonic to bring RAW to the S1H! Check out the press release.
Holy crap have you just seen this is going to do RAW output to the Ninja V!! Huge game changer.
Yeah that's insane!! Panasonic didn't tell me this beforehand but it's great news!!
I just read about that. Wonder how long that will take to get implemented? Also, wondering if it will be 10-bit or 12-bit RAW. To me 10-bit ProRes Raw is just slightly better than ProRes HQ.
Wait... what?!?!
I knew they were in talks, I didn't realise it got confirmed. Awesome
Watch the battle between Sony and Panasonic.It’s several decades long with Sony being the winner in Broadcast video.I think the battle between these two will greatly benefit us! Canon and Nikon both on stills and video will be left in the dust.(just my opinion)Black Magic will drive them as the front runner with a end to end affordable solution..
As a Gh5 lover for my light weight video needs, this camera is the natural addition to my kit. I shall be saving my pennies or taking a few extra commissions to obtain this most welcomed tool!😉🙏🏾
I have been oogling the GH5S for a long time as a pairing to my GH5.. But now Im really unsure! This looks like a beast of a camera. At twice the price...
I'm going to have to sell some organs on the black market. How much for a overused liver selling for these days?
@@SSingh-nr8qz 1765.00😭😩
Holy cow, the dynamic range in the opening night scenes. This alone makes this camera worth it. Add all the other features like 6K open gate anamorphic, 5.9k 16:9, 4k Super 35 10 bit 422, in body stabilization, dual native ISO sensor, DSLR size and handling... This camera will be incredible in the right hands.
All I have to say is that this is the best camera review ever!
Great review---detailed, well organized, and clear. Thanks so much. I own an S1H. My summation: a beast of a camera...but easy to use and navigate with a lovely image. As you said, "a full frame GH5"---true except for one thing: the color is better. Would prefer the focus peaking be better. The Fujifilm X-T4 still holds the Gold medal for focus peaking.
Jake, jokes apart, I would really appreciate to hear from you a technical analysis on the following:
My following thoughts are solely based on reading reviews and watching bloggers telling me all kinds of things about APS-C/FF sensors, their lenses and so on. Leaving aside camera bodies finishes, ergonomics and specs on EVFs,, menus, etc., this is what I think about how to yield an optimal IQ result from any APS-C sensor camera: use a lens engineered for FF sensors! Why? Well, it is an universal fact that ALL lenses, regardless their focus length, are curved made. As a result, the light rays passing through the outer surface of the lens tend to bend, thus deteriorate, the captured image on the flat sensor, compared to the rays passing through the central area of the lens, less curved. The farther from the real world imagery produced by a lens the more occurrence of "aberrations". Optical aberrations occur when points in the image do not translate back onto single points after passing through the lens - causing image blurring, reduced contrast or misalignment of colors (chromatic aberration). Lenses may also suffer from uneven, radially decreasing image brightness (vignetting) or distortion. Also, the wider the focal length, the more susceptible to aberrations. To minimize such inevitable events under the law of optical physics, camera manufacturers developed a number of optical counter-measures by adding ingenuous and costly engineering solutions via complex computerized experiments. Yet, none of them has, so far, zeroed the threshold balance between the real world imagery and its transportation onto digital photography sensors. Some have come close and cost a fortune. How about, then, through a simple and also ingenuous economic trick, to achieve the same similar results yielded through the above costly laboratory processes? Mount a lens meant for a full frame sensor onto a smaller one, such the APS-C. By doing this, the APS-C sensor will capture the light rays coming from the less curved surface of the FF lens, its central area, leaving out all those annoying bent rays susceptible to cause the above mentioned aberrations.
This same thoughtful exercise of pure ancient Greek syllogism could be applied on the correlation between large to medium, medium to full frame and APS-C to Micro 4/3 formats.
As I said in my opening remarks, all of the above is just an empirical theoretical logical exercise. Therefore, in the real world of real photographers like you, I may be completely off the track from sanity thinking.
U done a lot of good work.. I wish people wouldn't put the horrid synth music in the background for the whole duration.. which swamps the voice we'd like to hear.
Music really should not compete with voice in a mix. I had a hard time hearing the voice. With the British accent and high speed speech to boot, this American had a hard time hearing and processing the information in real time. I did watch it twice, though!
(2) years later and this camera still hasn't really seen a price drop lol. So annoying because I'm ready to upgrade from the GH5 but, I'm not paying $3600 for the cam + no lens.. LOL.
Sony makes awful cameras. Anyone who buys a Sony is getting ripped off.
Sometimes true
Awesome review - loving the look of the S1, really appreciate the detailed review you guys have done! CVP killing it...
Would love to see more comparisons in Dynamic Range + Skin tone shots side by side in comparison + Vlog + Slog with the Sony A7iii & BMPC6K etc... also great idea using the same lens!
I can't believe that this video does not have 200K views.. insane! this is probably one of the best video reviews I've seen on this camera to date. The internet is confused.
Really great review! You say: "The beefiest codec is C4K 10 bit 422 All-I 400Mbps downsampled". You emphasise on "downsampled". It seems to me, that ALL 4K and FHD codecs are automatically downsampled from 6K (in Full Frame and Super 35, obviously not Pixel to Pixel). Not only the 400Mbps codecs. Which is good because downsampling provides more accurate colours, sharper edges and less noise.
Hard disagree on removing the evf, best part of shooting with mirrorless cameras
or that it's also a stills camera haha .. why in the world would you remove the evf.
@@ericung6271 EVFs are a must integral part of any camera, stills or video. Period. Without them any camera goes back 100 years in time.
Dopeeeeeee review.... This camera is hard to beat for convenience and usability. Low light looks as great as the varicam I have to check it out again on the tv though to tell
Thanks and yeah it's a great camera!! Hopefully Sony respond with something to :) Jake
Oh how I wish they had that screen on the other S models. That design is brilliant for hybrid work and should be the industry standard on every mirrorless camera going forward.
great review, thanks for going so in depth. it was really helpful to see your real world experiences with the camera as well as all of the tech spec. thank you!
No worries thank you for the feedback! Jake
Best review I've seen! Hard work, great job! Thx for helping decide on my next kit :)
Great review. Very detailed. I am a CVP customer. Only I would change is maybe lower the levels of the music down a bit as I want to hear the dialogue please.
Thank you and noted! Jake
Keep up the good work Jake. Look forward to you reviewing the GH6 when it comes out.
Thanks for the exhaustive review. That must have been a lot of work! And you've certainly given me a very detailed picture of what this camera can do.
Still one of the best cameras around
Someday i will upgrade from my Lumix G7 to this Lumix S1H and it will be huge!!! Great vid!
Keep hearing the new S1H II is coming, looking forward to it, especially if they implement internal ND’s as per Panasonics patent.
Hello support stabilization when record anamorphic? like GH6 or S5 II and S5IIX ? thanks
I'd love to see a dynamic range test
Any idea what is wrong with, and how to fix, the random rainbow artifacts on this Panasonic Lumix S1H th-cam.com/video/vHRAb2iNtSs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lqtrQFrFmZo7XkSt&t=4448
I'm curious about the blue highlights issue when shooting v-log, because i have the S1 and i see the same issue. Have you reached out to Panasonic with regards to that?
Just had it confirmed by Panasonic that this is going to be fixed in an update very soon! Jake
That was a comprehensive review. Thank you!
EXCELLENT and informative video, props to you, subscribed!
I wanted to ask you what camera and more importantly what mic do you use for your speaking parts?
I’m currently looking to get a new camera and debating between the S1H or wait for Sony to announce an a7s III. I appreciate the video specific workflow of the Panasonic but the color science of Sony is just beautiful.
Thank you Manny! We use A C200 and a Sennheiser MKE600 for our PTC setups. Jake
I just ordered the S1h and the 70-200 F2.8 Lens 🍕😊 this is my dream camera..
So what about the Elephant in the room - Autofocus? Did you get a chance to test this bane of Panasonic camera’s?
Yeah it's the same as the S1. I shot everything in this video without using Autofocus so I think this could be a deal breaker for some but not for all filmmakers, especially when you compare all of the pros of this camera has that the Sony, BMD or Canon counterparts don't have. Jake
@@CVPTV Fair enough comment Jake. It's a great shame really when you think major sales come from TH-camrs running channels who want a great camera but need that Autofocus without the requirement of advanced manual focus pulling techniques.
@@arthurbrown7501 This is not a camera for the typical TH-cam shooter, they want smaller and lighter cameras with fast autofocus. This is a camera for professional video production and will likely be used like the Panasonic GH5s is used on the broadcast TV shows "Top Gear" and "The Grand Tour" where 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 GH5s footage is intercut with ARRI ALEXA interview footage.
Probably the best camera Lumix have made since the GH5. I'm looking forward in seeing the S1H Mk2.
Great video
In manual photo mode I have a big problem with the s1h which I found no fix for. In live view at display and viewfinder the image is always displayed as if it was not over or underexposed. Sometimes only after I made a photo I see: Oh it was overexposed. But I want to see if I am over or underexposed in camera in the viewfinder. But the camera in viewfinder pretends everything is fine. It is annoying to always have to check whether I hit the settings. Especially in night shoots where some lamps are much brighter than others but the human eye has hard times telling this is very frustrating. Is there a way to fix this?
This has been a great camera, coming from professional cinema cameras like the Red's and Arri's I am right at home with this camera and am still reasonably happy with it after all this time and will continue to use it as a B and C camera to the big cameras. Even with the advent of the Komodo.
Hello maybe you can help me I format a brand new sd card Sony tough 300mb/s and I record a few videos with the S1H and when I try to play the videos on my computer and they can't play any clue why?
21::19
I had to screen shot that. it was so damn beautiful!
Nice review! Thats alot of work! Appreciated that
Thank you for the kind words and yes it was! Jake
4:46 - I too wish they removed the EVF. When the EVF is fixed like it reduces its usefulness.
Agree too
Great review. I really doubt that the a7S III is going to come close to this... and I'm a Sony shooter.
yeah, me neither, we might have to jump ship?
Is better than Sony A7s ii in low light performance??
And now RAW coming soon via Ninja V: www.atomos.com/press-releases/atomos-panasonic-lumix
How’s the rolling shutter? I’m split between the BS1H and the BGH1 but from the little bit I’ve seen the BGH1 looks like it has better rolling shutter performance. I figure the BS1H and the S1H have identical sensors.
The BGH1 will have better rolling shutter but that's not suprising given its a much smaller sensor, so there will be trade offs for that. The S1H & BS1H do have the same sensor. Jake
Awesome video. What was your WB for the night shots?
Ya good luck using the R5 in such situations.
I’d love to see a firmware update to the s1 which would allow shutter angle and maaaaaybe exposure control during HFR recording. That would be so, just so great.
Me to! Madness that it's not in the S1. Jake
ive heard Panasonic is not going to do this to keep a bigger difference between s1 and s1h. Gerald Undone said it not me lol
Amazing review! Thank you very much!
I have heard that the camera has had some issues with corrupted files. Have you yourself had this issue by chance? And do you know whether Panasonic has issued an update for this?
Here's a link to the subreddit where they discuss this issue, and it seems that many people have this problem as well:
www.reddit.com/r/videography/comments/fefpmn/corrupt_video_files_from_brand_new_panasonic_s1h/
How did you feel about the low light noise? did you push the ISO often at night and what was the highest ISO you felt comfortable with?
How did you feel about the AF in video mode? Is it "doable" for gimbal follow shots?
I talking about noise and low light in the video! And the AF really isn't great. If you're on a gimbal and really want reliable focus I would suggest either using a follow focus solution like DJIs for the Ronin S. Jake
Thankyou for a outstanding review. It was clearly a lot of work.
Thank you for the kind words & Yes it was! Jake
UPDATE QUESTION: Can the S1H output time-lapse movie sequences in 4K and 6K resolution, or is the time-lapse movie output limited to 1080p only resolution ?
Panasonic and video autofocus hehe
Hi, you mentioned that you use it charged with external power bank!!🤔🤔 why can i not do the same? My s1h says turn the camera off while charging through external usb?? I mean it charges the camera for sure but I am not able to record and charge at the same time. Is this the case for you too? Please advise
*Hi the images out of this camera are simply gorgeous ! The fire dancers on the beach look incredible. Perfectly lit low light source images. Even the slow motion was wonderful. I'm making arrangements to order a DC-S1H body and can hardly wait to receive my camera ! I already own the Atomos Ninja V, so I'm looking forward to capturing 6K ProRes RAW 12 Bit out of the S1H.*
The Panasonic Lumix S-Series Camera Professionals - S1H, S1, S1R Facebook Group has a good discussion going on about this camera. I recommend joining.
I hear that the S1H is one of the cameras that Netflix has approved for their arsenal.
Is it better than Sony A7s ii in extreme low light conditions??
Beyond 25600 I would say the Sony has the edge. But in every single other category the S1H is better. Jake
man great video.
thanks for sharing it
my thoughts
this camera is awesome and technology is sooooo freaking fast improving every single year. BUT
the highlights look not so good. this camera is way better than pocket 6k , BESIDE the highlights and the image in general..
i would totally buy this camera if it had those highlights like the blackmagic unusable cheap but then expensive camera
Wow, great work. Very exhaustive feature set covered.
very good review
Very good video👌🏽
Im interested if it’s possible to use the old e mount lenses.
By the way, amazing in-depth review
Thank you! Jake
Love the review! But dude, wtf is this annoying music you chose for the video?
What is the sensor readout speeds for full frame and super 35? How bad is the rolling shutter?
Great review CVP. I too do reviews and I realize how many days, if not weeks you have into just shooting and then editing and grading this. Nice work, the camera looks pretty exciting.
S1H 후속 나올때 됐잖아...😂
Fantastic overview! Thank you so much.
I love it! It is time to do a new prores raw review... 😂 Thanks
@8:21 thanks for mentioning the auto slow motion settings. I really think Panasonic is missing the boat on this one.
This is almost the coolest camera ever made.
But I'm skipping it because of Contrast Detect AF.
When Panasonic gets rid of the CDAF, I will get rid of my Sony and switch to Panasonic.
Yeah if only they could give Canon a run for their money! Cameras are full of compromise and if good AF outweighs all of the weaknesses the Sonys have over the S1H than that's fair enough! Jake
@@CVPTV full frame with sub-par Af. If resolution and codec matters S1H doesn't stand a chance in front of BMPC6k with more affordable lens choice will kill this unknown upcoming over expensive L lens line-up. For many videographers shots being in focus more important than the codec it shows
@@CVPTV I am not a Sony fanboyshit. My opinion full frame with reliable autofocussing is the only way forward. If I have budget yes I would hire red or Alexa not Mirror less any way both do t do autofocussing
@@eicarshiva You can actually use more lenses with the L mount of the S1 with a range of adaptors such as the ones I mention in this video. I agree AF is important to some people and that's why in my comment above you will see me saying that each camera has compromise and if you aren't a fan of manual focusing then this camera may not be the choice for you. I think the 6K looks to be a great option, especially at it's price, but it does have limitations and misses some of the features of the S1H. I would say the Panasonic has a lot more quality of life improvements over the BMPCC6K. Battery life is better, it has amazing IBIS, it has a more versatile screen, it shoots compressed formats internally with the option to shoot prores or prores RAW externally. It has a more versatile and modern lens mount. And of course the biggest difference is the sensor. The Panasonic has better low light performance, different colour science which is subjective but in terms of accuracy is better than the 6K and of course it's much larger than the Pocket 6K and has so so many different shooting formats. But don't get me wrong the 6K has pro's to and just depends on which ones mean more to the end user choosing. Jake
Hi Jake, nice summary of the S1H. I have it on preordered a week ago. Also just subbed to your channel. Thanks for putting in the hard work to make this video!
Agree with all your comments here and above. As a consumer with all the new tech, we have so many options to choose from depending on our use cases.
I saw two YT videos last month on AF from Richard Wong and Gerald Undone showing the improvements with the new firmware update 1.2. It seems that at 60fps in both 1080 and 4k, the S1 AF matched or beat out A73. And with the current 3 native lens having parfocal, they don’t pulse when zooming which is great for sport video or similar use cases. The firmware update was able to improve the af on the S1, it’s promising for S1H and that Panasonic’s commitment to DFD might be paying off. Time will tell. May not be at Sony or Canon’s af levels or for wildlife and sports photography but good enough for video in cases where manual focus is not preferred.
Excited to get my hands on the S1H! I have the A73 (for stills and sports) and GH5 (for videos) and will keep them until I play with the S1H. If it replaces both cams, then maybe trade it in for 4k or 6k for cinema use cases.
Gotta love the competition and hope Sony comes back and counter with their A7s3 video centric version.
Cheers
Just watched it again! A lot of work gone into this so thank you. Really comprehensive review. I’m a long time sony shooter but I can”t wait to try this camera. I really think it can be a great bridge between creatives like me and big cinema cameras. I just need to save up for an anamorphic lens choice to go with it!
Quick question... Is it true that when shooting high frame rate the camera only does auto exposure and ont allow manual?? Thanks!
I do mention this in the video. But no, this was an issue with the S1 however Panasonic will updating the firmware of the S1 to change that. Jake
Great review and great footage. Thank you!
I will buy S2H with 8K !
You deserve a huge thank you. Reviewers should learn from you.
Thanks for watching and the kind words! Jake
thanks British guy. Gud review
How would you say the autofocus compares to the A7III?
Nowhere near as good unfortunately but it's a better camera in pretty much every other way! Jake
This is a spectacular review. Thanks for helping make my decision to purchase this camera.
Loved the review but did think it was presented at very fast pace . I do understand you tried to give out a ton of information in as short of a time as possible.
Again great great job and thank you .
I at the moment use Nikon DSLRs for live music shows. Love them for their hi iso abilities. But “we” are needing to go towards a more cinema style camera system.
This S1h is great for us having the fan for long runs at festivals.
I’d really like to see long run time tests done in variable environments of high heat and humidity or light rain. This is what really gets to our DSLR system at the moment.
Thanks again
Thank you! Sorry for speaking a bit quick though. I recorded the PTC at 6 o clock in the morning using a wireless mouse to prompt myself instead of having my regular operator :( I am also intrigued to sese how it handles in those enviroments! Once the camera hits end users hands I'm sure someone will put it through it! Jake
In general approximation, I can assume that the image quality with S1 will be identical to the footage that I see in this video? Except for 6k and the like, of course.
Still beta firmware. Wait for the tests made on the finished firmware before trying to judge what comes out of the camera.
🤝
Great stuff, thankyou!
Thank you for watching! Jake
Brilliant, thanks
how can it compete with bmpcc6k that does not have the video look ( th-cam.com/video/uPs13LN8Jbk/w-d-xo.html ) is cheaper, has far better codec and a wider lens selection (300 lenses- 118 being under $500 compared to only 50 L-mount lenses with 1 lens under $500, will FF sensor size and ibis over bmpcc6k be enough for s1h to not flop ?
Both cameras have compromise. I would say the Panasonic has a lot more quality of life improvements over the BMPCC6K. Battery life is better, it has amazing IBIS, it has a more versatile screen, it shoots compressed formats internally with the option to shoot prores or prores RAW externally. Of course the biggest difference is the sensor. The Panasonic has better low light performance, different colour science which is subjective and of course it's much larger than the Pocket 6K and has so so many different shooting formats. So if you are wanting that FF look then the S1H is the way to go. Also your point about lenses is simply wrong. The fact that the S1H uses a short flange mount (L) over EF means you can mount pretty much every lens ever, that has a larger flange distance than L with an adapter, so EF, PL, M42, F/G etc... So in actual fact, you have far far more lens choices for the S1H. Like I said at the beginning every camera has pro's and con's, one shooters choice will be different to the next and in all honestly both of these cameras are brilliant in their own ways. Jake
@@CVPTV good point about adapting lenses instead of buying expensive L-mount lenses. about color science, do you prefer camera B (panasonic s1 ) over camera D (bmpcc4k) in these 4 visual comparison tests th-cam.com/video/uPs13LN8Jbk/w-d-xo.html ?
I think colour is subjective from an artistic perspective but if you are referring to colour accuracy I would say the Panasonic S1H is better than the Pocket 6K which are the two I tested here. Before forming an opinion on 4K vs S1 I would want to test using my methods. I don't think the clips you have linked (I only watched the first set of tests at the timestamp you linked) are a good way to judge colour accuracy when they are so stylised and I don't know the constants and how they have been processed. Jake
@@CVPTV earlier in the video he also tested color charts and you are correct s1 was more color accurate than bmpcc4k, about color i was more speaking about subjective color like a pleasant skin tone, there is the same debate in the audiophile community : do we prefer studio monitors that are flat and sound accurate, or do we prefer hifi speakers with tube amp that color sound and make it pleasant to the ears in a unique way but inaccurate, both choices are valid and are individual choices but i do not think it is a 50-50% split i believe it is more a 80-20% split in favor of unfaithful but pleasing sensations if we look at what gear people buy or photos that people like
@@CVPTV about color preferences, it is shocking how the others affordable prosumer cameras look "video" (too much saturation and too much contrast) compared to bmpcc2k-4k-6k here against xt3 th-cam.com/video/tijql_uMnb8/w-d-xo.html or here against a7RIII th-cam.com/video/d8bEv2yloFE/w-d-xo.html. it may be less color accurate but so much pleasing to the eyes (at leat to mine, it is like comparing harsh noon light to golden hour light or flashy pop art colors from the 80s to the tonally soft 19th century impressionists and 16th century sfumato )
Thank you the comprehensive review, that's a lot of info., well done. On the live view LCD, it would have been good to have an image of something with a large tonal range, instead of a string of fairy lights.
Thank you! and will take it into consideration for the next one! Jake
Amazing work guys! Thanks for all the effort. Would love to get my hands on one some day
The lowlight recordings are nothing but amazing. So is the detail level of the review, thx!
Thanks for watching!
Is there any frame problem in 3:2 , 6k mode ?
Sorry what do you mean frame problem?
Hi,
Quick question : can we use desqueeze while filming in 6K Full Frame 3:2 mode ? (since it's close to the 4/3 aspect ratio....)
Yes you can! Jake
@@CVPTV Thank you ! :)
Does this balance on the ronin s?
I haven't done it but the S1 was fine and this camera is only a little bit bigger! I believe I've seen a few people post pictures of Ronin S setups with the S1H. So you should be good! Jake
premier...Really?It lives in an old shell.
Placed Preorder with CVP!
So do you think an adapter to use canon EF lenses with the s1H?
You can, it's called the Sigma MC-21. Jake
I had to go back to edit this. One of the best reviews on TH-cam as usual. it's your dedication and your approach to the video camera like it's a video camera. Bmpcc 4k and 6k highlight recovery is just a gimmick since it's bringing back channels that did not clip and then artificially represents them like 3 channel color. What would the comparison be if you use the same trick for Panasonic? DaVinci resolve doesn't allow that probably but there are ways to do it. Also 14 stops of dynamic range is a straight out lie-and I know that manufacturers are lie on that front all the time, but they should be at least called out for that. Varicam 35 and Lt have the same advertised dynamic range and I can guarantee you that they have three stops more than this one.
The website Cinema5D has a maximum dynamic range list for the cameras that they have tested, and here are the first four entries on that list...
1- ARRI ALEXA Mini
2- Blackmagic Ursa 4.6 Pro G2
3- Panasonic S1
4- Sony FS7
...So it would not surprise me if Panasonic is able to produce Varicam color and dynamic range with the S1H camera.
@@SewTubular thanks. But that website itself gave 11.5 stops for blackmagic without the highlight recovery of course. here they say they are equal. Something is not right
@@SewTubular also black magic ursa or any bm camera that is close to arri? I'm pretty sure that's correct. Maybe with the highlight recovery again
U could compare it with a7 r 4
Really enjoyed how comprehensive this video was
Good to hear! Thanks for watching. Jake
Awesome review 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! Jake
