At the Photo & Imaging 2023 event in China Panasonic managers said that demand of 8K on digital cameras is very weak and therefore you should not expect 8K to be implemented any time soon. This likely means that the S1H and the GH6 successor will both NOT have 8K recording.

If you remember back in 2017 Panasonic promised to launch an 8K MFT camera by 2020. Well, we might have to wait til the second half od this decade before this might happen :(

Grant Robert Davies: M43 vs Full-Frame??? – Better In SO Many Ways!!!

Share

Grant writes:

Micro Four Thirds (MFT) and full-frame systems each have their own strengths, and the choice between them depends on your specific needs and preferences. Here are five reasons why someone might consider Micro Four Thirds to be advantageous:

  1.  Size and Portability: MFT cameras and lenses are generally smaller and lighter than their full-frame counterparts. This makes them more portable and convenient for travel, street photography, and situations where a smaller setup is desired.
  2. Cost-Effectiveness: MFT gear tends to be more affordable compared to full-frame systems. The cameras and lenses are often priced lower, making it a more budget-friendly option for photographers who want high-quality results without breaking the bank.
  3. Lens Compatibility: Many Micro Four Thirds cameras are compatible with a wide range of lenses from various manufacturers, thanks to the open standard. This offers users more flexibility and options for lens choices.
  4. Video Capabilities: MFT cameras are known for their strong video capabilities. The smaller sensor size allows for greater depth of field, making it easier to keep subjects in focus while shooting video. Additionally, MFT systems often offer advanced video features and codecs.
  5. Image Stabilisation: Many MFT cameras and lenses include in-body image stabilization (IBIS), which can help reduce camera shake and produce sharper images, especially in low-light conditions. This feature can be particularly beneficial when shooting handheld or with longer focal lengths.

It’s important to note that both MFT and full-frame systems have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the right choice depends on factors such as your photography style, preferences, and the type of subjects you shoot. It’s recommended to thoroughly research and consider the specific features and capabilities of each system before making a decision
