No other new Lumix MFT camera in 2024?

Share

Just recently (on July 12) Panasonic officially registered a new camera model in China. The camera code is “P2403A” and it supports dual-band WiFi + Bluetooth. But I have been told this is highly unlikely to be a new MFT camera. It’s going ot be a FF L-mount model.

Sources also didn’t get any hints about any other possible MFT camera coming in late 2024. I would love to get anew Gm/GF kind of model but Panasonic seems to act according to my dreams :(

I also did not get any rumor about possible Lumix MFT lenses…

What do you think…what kind of products Panasonic should release to make you happy in 2025?
