Panasonic just listed this youtube live stream event for January 8th. This is one more proof our sources are spot on and as rumored we are getting the 100mm f/2.8 macro lens on that day!
Warning: this is a spec list I got from a totally unknown source. So this might be total BS. So far I only can confirm that we are getting a 100mm f/2.8 macro L-mount lens around Jan 8th.
This is the rumor:
S1ii & S1iix
– 34mp stacked oversampled 7k with very low rolling shutter
– ND filters with slim sealed magnesium body, compared to the big c70
– Fan no overheating in direct sunlight 50 Celsius.
– 6k 120, 4k 120 no crop.
– Better ibis no wooble
– Much better autofocus with ai chip similar to Sony.
– Just 1000 dollars more compared to s5iix very aggressive pricing, so around 3000 dollars.
– Improved battery life.
– improved dynamic range for video and photo.
– No AA filter
– very strong low light, improved low light with a lot of MP.
I repeat, highly chance this is BS…hope trusted sources can soon tell me more about the next Lumix cameras!
A couple of Japanese stores marked the S1 as discontinued.

Asobinet reports that the old Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM L-mount has now been discontinued- No surprise as there is now a new version available since early this year.
