Panasonic Lumix S1H

Moving up from the $2,000 range, we take a look at the fantastic cameras offered by Panasonic with their Lumix S1H. As you can read in our initial write-up, the S1H is most definitely a camera designed with the modern video professional in mind. With capabilities to shoot 6K video at up to 24fps (along with a respectable 4:2:2 10-bit DCI 4K), the S1H isn’t to be confused with the more dual-purpose focused Lumix S1.

Overall, while the S1H does come at a higher price than say the BMPCC6K, for fans of other Panasonic cameras—like the uber-popular Lumix GH4 and GH5—the S1H will be one of the best options outside of the pure cinema cameras that we’ll get to later on our list.
