Panasonic S1R + 24-105mm Lens (SKU DC-S1RME-K)

The Panasonic Lumix DC-S1R is Panasonic’s high-resolution full-frame mirrorless camera, combining powerful imaging performance with a robust, weather-resistant body. At its core is a 47.3MP full-frame MOS sensor paired with the Venus Engine processor, delivering extremely detailed stills, wide dynamic range, and video recording up to 4K60p. The sensor does not use a low-pass filter, maximizing sharpness, while on-chip aspherical micro lenses improve light gathering, sensitivity, and color accuracy. The camera offers an extended ISO range up to 51200, fast continuous shooting at up to 9 fps, and advanced DFD autofocus. A 5-axis sensor-shift stabilization system helps reduce camera shake for sharper handheld images by up to 5.5 stops.

The body is built for professional use, with a 5.76m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, a 3.2" triaxial tilting touchscreen LCD, and a tough magnesium-alloy chassis that is splash, dust, and freeze resistant. A top status LCD provides quick access to key shooting information. Dual card slots (XQD and SD) give flexible storage options, and integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support remote operation and wireless image transfer.
