Get ready to meet Panasonic’s latest addition to their camera lineup—the LUMIX BS1H! This new box-shaped modular video camera is a more compact version of the popular S1H model, but with upgraded features like open-gate 6K video recording, anamorphic support, and new RAW output for Blackmagic and Atomos recorders.
The BS1H is perfect for filmmakers who want to customize their setup for higher-end productions, as well as those looking for a better continuous recording/streaming camera for live video and other longer-form video productions.
But how does it compare to the S1H? While the S1H has more run-and-gun features, the BS1H is designed for more rugged and sophisticated projects, with a built-in fan that helps to unlock its unlimited recording capabilities in pretty much all modes.
The BS1H is set to contain a 24.2MP 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor that captures 6K resolution, with 10-bit output at up to 1080p over a SDI connector and 4K gamma-encoded or 5.9 RAW over HDMI.
So, is the LUMIX BS1H right for you? If you’re looking for a camera with live and cinema-quality recording capabilities, this might be the perfect option for you. And at a price of $3,499.99, it’s definitely worth considering.
