Panasonic is considering the possibility of establishing a community for LUMIX Lab

Phototrend interviewed Mathilde Lécuyer, Product Manager for Lumix France, and Jérémy Hoffmann, Marketing Manager for Lumix Southern Europe. Most of the talk is about L-mount but some points are of interest for the MFT community too like the possibility of establishing a community for LUMIX Lab:

About the French photography market

• It remains a leading brand in France.
• No. 3 in the French mirrorless market.
• They are particularly strengthening their presence in the full-size market.
• Over the past 12 months, the full size segment has grown by 6% and is gaining market share.

Have Panasonic added any LUTs since the release of the S9?

• At launch, there will be around 100 LUTs available.
• We are exploring the possibility of creating a community within the application so that creators can use their own LUTs in the application.

S5 II, S5 II X, and G9 II also support Lumix Lab

• LUMIX Lab’s long-term vision is to become a truly central platform for creators, enabling them to do a variety of things.

Firmware Update Strategy

• They are very responsive to user feedback.
• Local teams in each subsidiary around the world play a key role in this process, providing direct feedback to engineers.
• Once you invest in the equipment, they promise to support you as a creator with regular updates to optimize the product.
• LUMIX does not charge creators for minor updates.

Why LUMIX S5D now?

• For those on a budget there is the S5D.
• The S5D comes with an 18-40mm kit lens, whereas the S5 had a 20-60mm.
