Big cameras and big rivalries take center stage at Photokina

Big cameras and big rivalries take center stage at Photokina

The most exciting announcement is perhaps that from Panasonic, which surprised everyone with the S1 and S1R, a pair of not-quite-final full frame cameras that aim to steal a bit of the thunder from Canon and Nikon's entries into the mirrorless full frame world. Panasonic's cameras have generally had impressive video performance, and these are no exception. The timing and inclusion of so many desired features indicates either that Panasonic was clued in to what photographers wanted all along, or they waited for the other guys to move and then promised the things their competitors wouldn't or couldn't.
