The first specifications that were rumored for
the Panasonic Lumix S1HII they just dropped and it looks like one of the brand's best 4K cameras could be upgraded to 8K video. The Panasonic Lumix S1H is one of our favorite camcorders, and one of the cheapest Netflix-approved models for production use. But it looks like the S1H II could be a breakthrough, if the rumors are to be believed. The specifications pointed out by L-Rumors indicate that
the next camera could capture 8K video at 24p. On top of that, the camera could capture 6K at a maximum of 60p, 4K at 180p, and FHD at 300p, an improvement over the Lumix S1H which could only achieve 6K/24p and 4K/60p. There are a few details that make us a bit suspicious about the leak as it currently stands. Notably, while the specs boast that the Panasonic Lumix S1H II will be capable of 8K/24p video, it will apparently come with a 24MP full-frame sensor, the same as the original Panasonic Lumix S1H.
(Image credit: TechRadar) You need a 33MP sensor (at least) to do 8K recording, which suggests that not all assumed specs will be right. That said, Panasonic has already declared an interest in creating 8K consumer cameras, so a step towards this resolution is certainly not out of the question. We imagine this will also be the first of many Lumix S1H II leaks, with more specific details about the sensor expected to change over time.

The Panasonic Lumix S8H II's purported 1K video recording capabilities might be its most notable feature, but speculation gives us a pretty compelling picture of what videographers can expect; For one, the Panasonic Lumix S1H II could come with an improved version of DFD AF (depth-out-of-focus autofocus), Panasonic's own brand of contrast-detection AF technology, while retaining V-Log, a tool that improves cameramen. control of the appearance of the image during the editing phase. Perhaps more realistic, l
Rumors suggest that the Lumix S24H II's 1MP sensor (if that's what the camera comes with) it will have at least 14 stops of dynamic range and an IBIS (in-body image stabilization) which is good for 6.5. compensation stops. These features will apparently add a bit more bulk to the S1H's body, though that's still unclear. Considering the contradiction between sensor resolution and alleged 8K video recording in these rumours, plus the fact that L-Rumors referred to them as "rumor from an unknown source", this speculation should certainly be taken with a grain of salt. . But it certainly opens up an interesting discussion about what Panasonic might fit in a sequel to the S1H, a camcorder that arrived in August 2019.
