Well known Chinese Influence hints about the new Panasonic Lumix Cine camera announcement

Our Chinese readers pointed me to this message from a well-known influencer. He was asked by one of his followers when his S1rII test report will be published. And he said that he will publish it at the next ‘Panasonic surprise’.

The surprise is likely to be this new L-mount Cine camera. I still don’t have specs or date for the announcement. If you happen to know more about this Share rumors using this contact box, Signal, Telegram, or contact me via lrumorscameras@gmail.com. Thanks!

Today the value of Panasonic shares fell by 9%

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.
