Welcome to my review of the LUMIX S1RII Mirrorless Camera. This camera has a new 44.3-megapixel sensor and can shoot 8K video! I've been testing this camera out for the last few weeks in the real world and not just in lab tests, and I have a lot to say about the Panasonic LUMIX S1RII compared with the LUMIX S5IIX and GH7, so stay tuned for my pros and cons review. This video covers everything from the body design, handling, overheating, low light performance, and more!
