Panasonic S1R Print Quality & Image Quality Comparison

Panasonic S1R Print Quality Analysis

Editor's Note: Fear not! Our S1R print quality analysis is coming. Due to the current pandemic situation, we've had to limit our time at IR's Galagtic HQ. Rest assured that once we are able to return to HQ, we'll fire up the printer once more.

Pansonic S1R Image Quality Comparison

Below are crops from our laboratory Still Life target comparing the Panasonic S1R's JPEG image quality to a series of competing cameras with similar high-resolution sensors. Unlike most Image Quality Comparisons, there is no predecessor to the all-new S1R. For this comparison set, we're showing the S1R up against the 50MP Canon 5DS R, the 50MP (medium-format) Fujifilm GFX 50S, the 45MP Nikon Z7 as well as the earlier 42MP Sony A7R III and current 61MP Sony A7R IV.

NOTE: These images are from best quality JPEGs straight out of the camera, at default settings including noise reduction and using the camera's actual base ISO (not extended ISO settings). All cameras in this comparison were shot with our very sharp reference lenses. Clicking any crop will take you to a carrier page where you can click once again to access the full resolution image as delivered straight from the camera.
