An anonymous source sent me the following rumor about the new Panasonic FF camera. Note that this is from a new source meaning it could be completely wrong. But I do hope trusted sources can read this and quickly tell me if what’s written here is right or wrong:
Confirmed and Unconfirmed details of Panasonic FF camera from a mid level Panasonic engineer who worked on early camera development:
Unconfirmed: the camera will use a new Panasonic sensor unsure of MP but believed to be around 30MP
Confirmed: full frame readout in 4k no pixel binning, no crop in 4k 24/25
Confirmed: internal 4k 10bit 4:2:2 recording up to 60p (all i frames in 24/25 believed to be around 200mbs)
Unconfirmed: possible 4k raw recording (may be external output only, there had been some early difficulty with hdmi and raw output)
Unconfirmed: two card slots not sure if they are 2 x sdxc or 1x cfast 2.0 and 1x sdxc (probably depends on whether raw recording is internal or external)
Unconfirmed: early prototype had no ibis due to sensor size and other internal elements, may change on release.
Unconfirmed: new ff lenses will have is, unsure if all new lenses will have it but if there is no ibis then it would make sense.
Confirmed: audio adaptor similar to gh5 with more robust connection and additional controls
Partially Confirmed: there will be some type of variable nd, not sure if this is an add on adaptor or built in.
Confirmed: adaptors will be available for other lens mounts canon ef etc… unsure if they will work with the nd adaptor.
Confirmed: weather sealed body, unsure if it is fully weather sealed but speculation is it is shower /splash dust proof.
Ports: headphone, mic, usbc, hdmi, flash to double as timecode sync as with Gh5s
Pricing unavailable: estimated to be in the region of 3k
Panasonic are confident this new camera will be a big seller and will seriously challenge Sony and Canon as the top selling ff mirrorless camera.
I repeat that this info is from a new sources. So please keep that fact in mind when discussing the specs.
