Weird: No Panasonic announcements so far this year

Share

A bit unusual for Panasonic is the fact that they did not announce any new product at the start of this new year. N new MFT or L mount camera or lens at all has been unveiled. SonyAlphaRumors made this list of products announce in January-February:

Nikon (6 products announced):
Nikon Coolpix P950
Nikon D780
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 120-300mm F2.8E FL ED SR VR
Nikon Nikkor Z 70-200 F2.8 VR S
Nikon Nikkor Z 24-200mm F4-6.3 VR
Nikon Nikkor Z 20mm F1.8 S

Fuji (5 products announced):
Fujifilm X-T200
Fujifilm X100V
Fujifilm X-T4
Fujifilm XC 35mm F2
Fujifilm GF 45-100mm F4 R LM OIS WR

Canon (4 products announced):

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm F4 Pro

Ricoh-Pentax: (2 products announced):

HD Pentax-D FA 70-210mm F4 ED SDM WR

Sony (1 product announced):
Sony 20mm F1.8G

Leica (1 product announced):

Panasonic (0 products announced):
no product announced (a part of a new L-mount lens roadmap).

Maybe Panasonic (and Olympus) decided to shift the product launch focus at Photokina in May. But the coronavirus outbreak may will mess with their plans as I expect productiion shortages accross the industry :(
