The original Lumix S1 launched back in 2019 as Panasonic’s do-it-all full-frame mirrorless, alongside its more specialized siblings, the high-resolution S1R and later the video-centric S1H. Fast-forward to 2025, and Panasonic is revitalizing its flagship S1 line, with the arrival of its second-generation Lumix S1R II in February, and now – the Lumix S1 II.
At first glance, the Lumix S1 II looks almost identical to its 47MP S1R II brother – and indeed it shares the same durable magnesium alloy body, deep grip, and control layout. However, under the hood, it’s a different beast tailored for speed. With headline specs including a newly developed 24.1 MP full-frame partially stacked BSI CMOS sensor enabling blackout-free 70 fps bursts, 779-point Phase Hybrid AF with AI subject detection, 5.1K/6K video up to 60p, and 8-stop in-body stabilization.
