Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 DC-S1

The Panasonic Lumix DC-S1 pairs a 24.2MP full-frame sensor with 5.5-stop IBIS and 4K 60fps 10-bit video in a fully weather-sealed body. A 96MP high-resolution mode and 5.8M-dot EVF make it a strong hybrid for both stills and video. Best suited for hybrid shooters who need reliable 4K video and high-resolution landscapes, though its autofocus lags behind competitors.
