    H = HEATSINK. LOL.

    My source on history of this camera:

    • Camera was not planned ahead much, hence almost no mentioning on top meetings
    • Some engineering issue happened with S1 so they could not announce planned 6K (as in S1H) at proper CP++ time that should be the case
    • Sony, as they supply all sensors, prohibited making rescaled 8K as had been intended in initial goal
    • S1H has slightly higher clocked LSI and better heatsink
    • Body has small design changes
    • Panasonic now is in panic due to sales numbers of FF cameras

    Panasonic Corporation is proud to announce the newest addition to the LUMIX S series, the LUMIX S1H, a new Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera equipped with a full-frame image sensor. As the world's first camera capable of video recording at 6K/24p ^1^ (3:2 aspect ratio), 5.9K/30p (16:9 aspect ratio), and 10-bit 60p 4K/C4K.2 *3, it combines the video quality of a professional camera and the high mobility of a mirrorless camera. The LUMIX S1H will be released to world markets in fall 2019.

    The main features of the new LUMIX S1H are as follows:

    High resolution up to 6K for multiple formats.

    Maximizing the use of the pixels in the full-frame image sensor, the LUMIX S1H, as a digital camera, has achieved 6K/24p (3:2 aspect ratio) or 5.9K/30p (16:9 aspect ratio) video recording for the first time in the world. It is also the world's first full-frame digital interchangeable lens system camera^*1^ to enable 10-bit 60p 4K/C4K video recording. It accommodates a variety of recording formats like 4:3 Anamorphic mode, to meet professional needs. Its high-resolution data can also be used to create 4K videos with higher image quality or to crop images in 4K.

    Rich gradation and a wide color space virtually equal to those of cinema cameras.

    The LUMIX S1H features V-Log/V-Gamut with a wide dynamic range of 14+ stops, which are virtually the same as those of the Panasonic Cinema VariCam, allowing it to precisely capture everything from dark to bright areas. So much so, that the color and even the texture of human skin are faithfully reproduced. Designed under consistent color management, the S1H's recorded footage is compatible with V-Log footage recorded by VariCam or the LUMIX GH5/GH5S.

    High product reliability that allows unlimited video recording.

    In every S1H recording mode, video can be recorded non-stop under the certified operating temperature so the user can concentrate on shooting.

    Since the 1990s, Panasonic has been a leader in the development of video recording technologies for digital cinema, and has produced a host of innovative technologies for impressive cinematic imagery, such as 24p video recording, slow motion video using a variable frame rate, and the wide dynamic range and color space of V-Log/V-Gamut. By working with film creators for more than 25 years, Panasonic has successfully designed a number of cinema cameras that exhibit stunningly high video performance. The LUMIX GH1 made its debut in 2009 as the world's first Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera capable of full-HD AVCHD video recording.  The LUMIX GH4 was launched in 2014 as the world's first Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera capable of 4K video recording. Next, the LUMIX GH5 was released in 2017 with the world's first 4K/60p, 4:2:2 10-bit 4K/30p recording capability.The LUMIX GH5 is highly acclaimed by film creators for its high performance, excellent mobility, and superb versatility in film production. And now, in 2019, the LUMIX S1H joins as Panasonic's newest cinema camera.

    Panasonic now offers three innovative models in the LUMIX S Series of full-frame Digital Single Lens Mirrorless cameras -- the S1R, the S1, and the new S1H. The LUMIX S1R is ideal for capturing high-resolution images, while the LUMIX S1 is an advanced hybrid camera for high-quality photos and videos, and the LUMIX S1H is designed especially for film production. With this lineup, Panasonic is committed to meet the demands of every imaging professional by challenging the constant evolution of the photo/video culture in today's new digital era.

    The LUMIX S1H prototype will be exhibited at the 2019 Cine Gear Expo.

    According to an article with leaked informations, the body will be slightly bigger than the S1/S1R body due to the extra processing power and heat dissipation requirements

  • meemee

    @pureaxis, looks to be. Thought it looked smaller, and got excited for a moment thinking they may have sized down things considerably.

  • pureaxispureaxis

    wait is that just the G9?

  • pureaxispureaxis

    looks like a different grip design, with record button on top and on/off on shutter, a welcome change.

    From the autumn of 2019, it will be necessary to count on the LUMIX S1H. It’s the 3rd Full Format Camera from Panasonic, after the brave Lumix S1 and S1R.

    This 3rd box, very oriented cinema and video (more than the S1) announces a world premiere of shock: the video recording in 6K / 24p (in format 3: 2) or 5,9K / 30p (in format 16: 9) . It also announces the C4K / 4K (the famous DCI) in 60p in 10 bits. It also adapts to 4: 3 anamorphic mode. Rumors were running about the arrival of the 8K, or even a GH6, but it will be 6K in Full Format. Not bad…

    In short, the engineers seem to have concentrated their efforts on an invisible but problematic parameter: the heating of the case. And the higher the resolution, the more it heats! As a result, heat dispersion seems to have been studied to provide the expected video performance. However, the manufacturer states in its statement that when the temperature of the device exceeds the certified operating temperature, the device can automatically stop video recording to protect it from heat damage.

    4K MODE

    4K mode is not forgotten with the ability to record in 4K or better (from our point of view), to crop 6K videos in 4K, which should increase the image resolution in Crop mode or allow to reframe more. Stabilization could also be improved in this same logic.

    As for personalization of the image, the LUMIX S1H also features the V-Log / V-Gamut with a dynamic range of 14 stops, practically equivalent to that of the brand’s VariCam, enhancing the texture of human skin.

    Note that the S1H’s recording format is compatible with the V-Log format recorded by a VariCam or the V-Log L recorded by the LUMIX GH5 / GH5S.

    The video recording length is unlimited. It is “camcorder” type camera.

    The prototype of the LUMIX S1H will be exhibited at the “Cine Gear Expo 2019” show from May 30 to June 2, 2019.

    The price is of course not yet communicated.

    Availability: Fall 2019

    For me it seems like they had NOTHING.

    And want to announce something because Sony A7s III is coming very soon.

  • AKEDAKED

    I thought H stands for: „Hope it sells“

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    I think H stands for "High priced" :-)

  • meemee

    The H stands for Helium. Last ditch effort to shave weight =)

    I'm going to go to the announcement, will try and get some decent pics of whatever the heck it is.

  • Glenn7Glenn7

    Need to wait pair of days.

    Most probably it is again $4000 niche thing.

    Will this be it or is this just a big joke with „6 fucking K“ and "PRAW" :-) ?

    @retrospective, same here. From my view, Panasonic left their core hobby/prosumer users behind with overpricing several years ago. G series is now 1K, when GH series was $700 just a short time ago. Maybe I am wrong, but I think we are going to see allot of people holding off on many companies next offerings as there are plenty of nice last generation camera's to get us through until prices get a bit more in line with true core consumers. I am not saying the S1 and S1R are not priced appropriately for what they are, but the market for them is very small. . GH and G line camera's have a much larger market, but pricing should come down at least 20% to stay competitive with lesser camera's that most will settle for since the core functions and image quality is close enough. Hopefully "Price rumored to be at $3699-$4299 range for body only. And with possible $999 6K raw license" is not the case for whatever it is coming out, I think it would have to be 8K with the organic sensor to have a chance at that price range. Still very curious of specs and features regardless of weather I can afford it.
