Lumix BS1H overview

The Panasonic Lumix BS1H is a 24.2 MP full-frame cinema camera for L-Mount, announced by Panasonic in October 2021.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits video and low light. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust, slow handheld shots with unstabilised lenses, and eye-level shooting in bright sun.

New, it sells for $3,014.95 in the United States (eBay.com); used and refurbished copies start at $3,014.95. It launched at $3,499.99 (body only).

Worth comparing it with the Sony FX3, Panasonic Lumix S1H and Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera 6K.

Low light & noise

6.0 µm pixels

24.2 MP on a full frame sensor, ISO up to 51,200
