New Panasonic Lumix S1rII is rumored to use the new 44MP Sony sensor….here are the impressive specs!

As you know, Sony announced the 44MP IMX366 sensor 1-2 years ago. It’s a high speed sensor that may or may not find its way into the future new Sony A7V. My gut still tells me that the A/V will retain the 33MP resolution… but I have a curious competitor rumor: Panasonic will announce a new S1rII next week that has a new 44MP sensor. I suspect it will be a variant of the new Sony IMX366 sensor, and the rumored specs are impressive (Source: L-rumors.com).

Full Panasonic Lumix S1RII specs (preorder here soon):

  • New 44 MP “high speed” sensor
  • 40fps in electronic shutter
  • 10fps in mechanical shutter
  • 8 stops image stabilization
  • 176 MP High Res with sensor shift…handheld(!) and by combining 8 images.
  • 1.5 second pre-capture
  • 8k30p
  • 4K120 without crop
  • 8,1K Open-Gate will be released later with a Firmware Update
  • 6K ProRes RAW HQ internal recording
  • Internal RAW Video Recording: ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422 plus Proxy Recording
  • You can record on external SSD via USB-C
  • Frame marker for 2.39:1, 2.35:1, 2.00:1, 1.85:1, 16:9,
    4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 and Custom
  • 32 Bit Float audio
  • Multi-Angle-Screen like A9III/A1II
  • Body size about the same of the Lumix S5II (just a tiny bit thicker)
  • Weather-sealed and ventilated
  • RED record button in front of the camera on the corner near the mount
  • red Tally in front and on the back fo the camera
  • Price around $3,500
  • Announcement: Feb 25, 2pm London time

This camera aims to compete against the Canon R5II and Nikon Z8. Imagine the A7V would have those specs for $2,500…I know I am dreaming and this is NOT going to happen!

Tamron firmware udpate for the 35-150mm FE lens: Supports 120fps of the A9III but without AF-C

Tamron issued a firmware update for the 35-150mm FE lens: tamron.com/global/consumer/support/download/firmware/a058/sony_e/. Here are the benefits:

  • Improved AF performance during zooming
  • With α9 III, when its focus mode is set to AF-S, DMF, or MF, it will support continuous shooting at up to approximately 120 frames per second
    * Update can be done with TAMRON Lens Utility™.

But as noticed by PetaPixel:

While yes, the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 is now able to shoot at 120 frames per second on the Sony a9 III, it can only do so in AF-S, DMF, or MF focus drive modes. The lens remains capped at the 15 fps rate when using AF-C, as is typical with third-party lenses used on Sony mirrorless cameras.
