The market is crashing and many companies have seen their share value fall quite sharply today. Panasonic shares fell almost 9% and 21% overall since the tariff was introduced. I wonder how this will affect the release schedule for Lumix cameras and lenses. I think it’s likely that most companies will slow down their product releases until they have certainty about the impact of the tariffs.

I would NOT be surprised if Panasonic has decided to delay the launch of the next Lumix L-mount Cine camera. It simply would make sense for them to wait out the storm before to put a price tag on this camera.
