The Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 is a mirrorless camera that Panasonic announced on September 25, 2018,[1] and released on March 23, 2019.[2][3] It was the company's first digital camera to feature a full-frame sensor. The "LUMIX S series" was named as a "specialized model" designed for professional use, offering high image quality, functionality, and ruggedness.[4]
It adopted the Leica L-Mount based on the "L-Mount Alliance" jointly announced by Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma Corporation on September 25, 2018.[5] Panasonic's development team determined that the L-Mount offered advantages for both still photography and video; by leveraging the large camera body, they were able to incorporate excellent operability and powerful features.[2]
The DC-S1 (featuring a 24.2-megapixel sensor) and the DC-S1R (featuring a 47.3-megapixel sensor) were released simultaneously on March 23, 2019.[2] Additionally, the DC-S1H—equipped with a vari-angle LCD and enhanced video recording capabilities—was released on September 25, 2019, followed on December 16, 2021, by the DC-BS1H, a box-style camera dedicated to video recording that was sold on a made-to-order basis.
The DC-S1R won Camera Grand Prix Camera of the Year 2019.[6]
