(FT3) Panasonic Lumix GH7 to be announced soon?

This week I got a rumor that a Panasonic NON-FF camera might be announced on June 5th. I still got no final confirmation this is going to happen. And I don’t know if this is going to be a new LX100 compact camera or a new MFT.

Fact is Panasonic has officially registered two cameras in China that still have to be announced. And in the past days I got some indication that we might get the GH7! Here are two messages I got:

Source 1:

  • Panasonic GH7 to be on market around July
  • has most features of the Lumix G9II
  • Has larger fan like the Lumix GH6
  • new 32bit float recording methods via a new XLR unit
  • Lumix LAB app support

Source 2:

  • Lumix GH7 is already being tested by “influencers”
  • This might be the camera announced on June 5 (but this is my speculation)
  • Testers feedback si that this is a near perfect camera for the MFT system
  • Shoots internal RAW

What do you think about these rumors?

New Panasonic (MFT?) Camera announcement on June 5?

Our reader Jakub sent me a link to a ‘leaked’ information about a new camera. Now, if I shared this link publicly someone would get in trouble and probably get fired. So I’m keeping it under wraps for now, unless some other website publishes it and forces me to report it. In essence, this ‘leak’ tells us this:

  • On 5 June Panasonic will announce a new camera.
  • This camera will NOT be Full Frame

I see three options:

  • It will be a new MFT camera
  • A compact fixed-lens camera (possibly the successor to the LX100).
  • It is an APS-C L-mount (I think this is very unlikely).

We know that Panasonic has registered three new Lumix cameras in China. One is for the new Lumix S9. The other two cameras have yet to be announced. it sounds pretty unusual for Panasonic to unveil a new camera two weeks only after the major S9 announcement. But the “leak” seems pretty accurate to me. I still don’t know what to expect, all I got is info from a new source saying this is a new MFT camera…but this is not a confirmed info yet.

Please drop me a message at 43rumors@gmail.com or use this contact box if you have some more info to share! Stay tuned folks!

 

Curiosity: First leaked image of the S9 shows it’s basically a Full Frame GM1 clone

I was hoping to get a new compact MFT Lumix from Panasonic. Instead on May 22 Panasonic will announce a new Full Frame version of the glorious little GM1 MFT camera. The new L-mount camera will be named S9 and be announced along two pancake L-mount lenses.

this is all we should get for now. But I heard more Panasonic events are scheduled from early Summer. They still have two more Lumix cameras registered in China. Usually this means we can expect two more cameras to be announced within 1-2 months!
