so this vs a7siii vs z cam f6 which one for video

Panasonic has announced that they will be releasing firmware update programs for the LUMIX Digital Single Lens Mirrorless cameras S1R, S1H and S1 to enhance functions and usability by the end of 2020.

The new firmware enables the S1R to record 5K video, making the most of its high-resolution image sensor. Also, LUMIX’s state-of-the-art AF technology and performance of the new LUMIX S5 will also be available on the S1R, S1H and S1. The upgraded AF notably excels in detection of human and its movement. In addition to the eye, face, body the head is also separately recognized by real-time detection technology to provide even more precise focusing. The camera keeps tracking the subject person even if he/she moves quickly, turns his/her back to the camera, tilts his/her head or moves far away from the camera. On the other hand, improvements to the DFD technology has enhanced AFC, which also enables users to keep tracking small or fast-moving subjects to capture them in crisp focus. Users can take these advantages in both photo shooting and video recording.

Panasonic further addresses technology development and its achievement shall be applied not only to the new products but also to those already released via firmware update.

I noticed on the first post that Vitaliy Kiselev spoke about Panasonic looking at CinemaDNG files out of this camera. Why didn't they do it like Sigma on their FP camera. I know the file size is huge, but the latitude it gives you for grading is second to none (according to Sigma FP users). It could be routed via the USB C that is already on the S1H like Sigma FP. That would bypass the RED litigation problem and a super extra bow to this camera. I just bought it for £2,799. /noticed the last firmware update was nearly a year old. Vitaliy is the man to talk about this

It says 8K is this the Mark II?

Sure, my GH6 will go 8K with an anamorphic.
