Panasonic's updated all-rounder L-Mount body — S1 successor with phase-detect AF and improved features.
The Panasonic Lumix S1 II is the expected successor to the S1, updating Panasonic's all-rounder L-Mount full-frame mirrorless with the phase-detect hybrid AF that transformed the S5 II. It addresses the S1's main weakness while improving processing.
Expected to feature an updated sensor with Panasonic's phase-detect hybrid AF. Improved IBIS performance. Updated processor. Enhanced video specifications. V-Log likely built in. The phase-detect AF should dramatically improve the S1's AF tracking performance.
L-Mount with weather-sealed body. Expected improvements to EVF and touchscreen. Dual card slots. USB-C PD charging. WiFi and Bluetooth. L-Mount Alliance compatibility with Leica and Sigma lenses.
Very new — minimal used availability. The original S1 is available at much lower used prices. For photographers wanting Panasonic's improved AF in a robust full-frame body with the larger S1-style grip and dual cards.
