It delivers 96-megapixel images for the S1, while the S1R can shoot incredibly detailed images at 187 megapixels, equivalent to 16,736 x 11,168 pixels. If you need more resolution for landscape and other static images, there's a high-resolution mode that takes multiple, slightly offset photos of the same scene. Panasonic said it listened to concert and other event photographers and was obviously confident about the low-light capabilities of the new cameras. ![]() The S1R maxes out at 25,600 in regular mode or 51,200 expanded. The normal ISO range is 100 to 51,200, or 50 to 102,400 in expanded mode. The S1 has better low-light capability, especially when shooting video. That differential will get even larger when Panasonic adds support for 1,400 MB/s CFexpress cards in a future firmware update. That will be a bit awkward, though, because XQD is a lot faster than UHS II, with max speeds at 440 MB/s compared to 300 MB/s. Weirdly, one is SD UHS type II and one is XQD, so you'll need to carry two types of cards, but at least you can have a backup. Panasonic did one better than its rivals by building the S1 and S1R with two memory card slots. Still, as with other full-frame mirrorless models, you'll need to carry around more batteries than you would with a DSLR, which negates some of the weight advantages. Battery life is rated at 360 shots, but Panasonic said that real-world performance should be better. ![]() Videographers will be happy to see microphone and headphone ports, and there's also a USB Type C port for data and charging. They're weather-sealed, as are the lenses, and can operate at temperatures down to -10 degrees Celcius (14F). Panasonic didn't see the need to compete with rivals on size, as the bodies weigh just over 1,000 grams, considerably more than the Nikon Z6/Z7, Canon EOS R and Sony A7 III/A7R III.
