Panasonic has officially registered two new cameras…Are they L or MFT mount?

Panasonic officially register two new cameras with dual WiFi support:

  1. On December 17, Panasonic registered a new camera model in China with the code “P2305A”
  2. On November 22, they had registered another camera, “P2307A”

For clarification, these codes are not for the upcoming G97 or TZ compact cameras, as those only support 2.4MHz. The newly registered models support 5.1MHz as well, indicating something more advanced. Usually it takes up to 4 months until these get officially announced. So far I am sure one is the S1RII L-mount camera. But I don’t know if the second model is also an L-mount camera (S1HII?) or a MFT camera (compact GF/GM model?).

Stronger hints something new is coming in the MFT world…a new camera lineup?

Over the last few weeks I’ve been getting hints of something “new” for the MFT world. I hope to get 100% confirmation of this soon, but it should be a new camera for a new product line…

Will Panasonic announce a new Lumix TZ compact camera next week?

As you know, Panasonic will make an announcement next week. I don’t think we will get something big like an bigger MFT or S camera. It has never happened before that we have announced such a big camera a week before Christmas :)

A new source just told me this:

Next week’s announcement will be a Lumix TZ compact camera to compete against Canon SX740HS and G7X series. Stock towards end of Q1 next year.

Even though it’s a new source and we can’t be sure he’s right, I think this would make a lot more sense than an system camera announcement.

Wild Rumors: New vintage OM-1II edition to be announced in January?

I’m still getting completely wild and unconfirmed rumors about some sort of new vintage camera. The latest I’ve heard is that it could be a vintage OM-1II edition. And it could be announced in January.

In the past Olympus has actually announced some limited edition titanium cameras. But I don’t know if that’s what’s coming….

 

Some wild rumors from China: OM Digital to announce a “vintage” camera….that is NOT the PEN-F?

A chinese reader told me that on chinese forums the following rumor is going around:

I have received a news that OM will release a new camera in the end of 2024 financial year.
It is a vintage looking camera with most of the OM-1 Mark II features and sensor. The engineering samples have been tested in numbers of photographers.
From what I have understood that will not be a OM-5 replacement. Not a PenF like body.
Sales price is around 12000 RMB body only

12000 Yuan is around $1700. So if this is NOT a PEN-F I really don’t know what else this could be. Provided the rumor is true…and at this moment I am extremely skeptical about this info being correct.

If you happen to have some more info on this camera please drop me a message through this anonymous contact box or directly via 43rumors@gmail.com. Thanks!
