Panasonic S1R II vs S1 II vs GH7
If you’ve ever thought of pairing your compact LUMIX rig with ARRI’s cinematic color science, Panasonic just made it happen. With the new DMW-SFU3A Software Upgrade Key ($198), the L-mount S1R II, S1 II, S1 IIE mirrorless cameras, as well as the MicroFourThirds mount GH7 and GH6 can now shoot in ARRI Log C3, letting you match your footage to industry-standard ALEXA cameras such as the ARRI ALEXA Mini without breaking the bank.
