Engadget Review
With the Netflix seal of approval, the Panasonic SH1 has earned its title as the best mirrorless camera on the market for video. You can capture video at up to 6K with 10-bit colors, giving you sharp, rich video and HDR, with lots of flexibility in post production. The ergonomics are outstanding, and it has excellent low-light capabilities. It’s also good for hand-held video shooting thanks to the five-axis in-body stabilization system. The only drawback is the mediocre autofocus performance, but the AF is fine for vlogging and other types of shooting. It’s also very costly.
Netflix approved and it’s great for photographers, too.

Panasonic Lumix S1H

- 90AVERAGE CRITIC SCORE4 ReviewsDigital Photography Review90Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H reviewThe S1H brings the features and feel of Panasonic's GH series to the L-mount full-frame system. It's a compact and affordable package if judged according to the standard of its broadcast-grade footage. The rolling shutter figures are worth being conscious of, and the autofocus isn't as impressive as the rest of the camera, but overall it's a superb video tool that will address a wide range of needs.Digital Camera World80Panasonic Lumix S1H reviewIt’s a very interesting ‘bridge’ between conventional system cameras and higher end cine gear, especially for existing Panasonic videographers. But while it has the power for professional video productions, its size, weight and patchy video AF are bad news for vloggers.TechRadar100The cheapest, smallest Netflix-approved 6K video cameraIt’s also the small things that count, from a cooling vent that lets you shoot for hours without worrying about overheating, to an impressive EVF and a flip-out rear display – Panasonic has put a lot of thought into the S1H.Photo Review90Panasonic DC-S1H reviewThe high price tag and specialised nature of this camera make it most attractive to multi-media professionals, for whom it provides an at present unmatched suite of stills and video recording functions. There’s nothing on the market so far that offers the same capabilities.
