Reviews in English

DPReview 8.8/10
It is an incredibly well-built (but heavy) camera with excellent image and video quality. The body has numerous control points and is highly customizable. The S1's built-in image stabilization is effective, and the camera can use this system to produce ultra-high-res stills. Autofocus is speedy and accurate in most situations, though the continuous AF experience can be frustrating when using the EVF. Video quality is excellent, with 4K/60p support.

DDay 8.1/10
Mirrorless, secondo Panasonic, vuol dire macchina migliore e - si vede chiaramente - ce l'ha messa tutta per dimostrarlo [...] come tutte le mirrorless di prima generazione paga qualche errore di gioventù, soprattutto nella gestione dell'autofocus e del menù, e la limitata gamma di ottiche disponibili al momento. [...] Per il resto la macchina è di razza.

Nella nostra prova abbiamo testato la Panasonic S1 e dobbiamo dire che le promesse fatte dalla casa madre in merito alle sue qualità, sembrano mantenute.
