Super wild rumor: New entry level MFT camera coming in May too?

I just got this message from a reader that recently had a chat with Panasonic. He claims that a new MFT Lumix camera is coming in May too.

Sadly no trusted sources could confirm this yet so take this rumor with huge skepticism.

All I know is that:

  • Panasonic has NOT excluded making new entry level cameras
  • Panasonic actually has three new camera codes registered in China. So definitely a ton of cameras will be announced within the next few months!
  • Trusted sources confirmed one Panasonic announcement will happen in May with new “non High End” camera coming

Personal note: A new GM1 successor would make me happy :)

If you happen to know more about the Panasonic announcement drop me a message using this anonymous contact box or send me an email at 43rumors@gmail.com.

 

Confirmed: New Panasonic announcement in May

Finally I got some good news from a trusted source. But it’s not clear if this will be a MFT, L-mount or fixed lens camera. He told me this:

  • One new Lumix camera will be announced in May
  • It will be a completely “new kind of model”

The source has not yet provided any details about what this camera will be. Anyway stay tuned…I might be able to get some more details soon ;)

OM ambassador teases “One Big announcement” on March 4th

Emielie Talpin posted this video and writes:

Join us live on March 4th, at 5PM EST for a very special announcement. We will all be taking live questions too. Don’t miss it. Add it to your calendar now!

Now, two things seem odd to me:

  1. that OM Digital would announce a new product right AFTER the CP+ show
  2. that this teaser is coming from an OM Ambassador and not from OM Digitial.

So this maybe some kind of non-product related announcement? Something like a special action from OM Ambassador or so. I would not get hyped about this…
