More info about that new Lumix S5D camera and about the new S1HII

Reminder: all I know from RELIABLE sources is that Panasonic will announce “multiple” new products on October 8th. All the rest is just speculation or unconfirmed rumors. My personal sense is that the S5D entry level camera and a new lens is likely to be announced on October 8th. While I am totally uncertain about possible additional S1HII and S1RII. With that in mind I am going to share two more rumors from “new” sources (therefore unreliable and unconfirmed):

Source 1:

The S5d rumor is correct but will not be a new launch. It will replace the S5 with updated Oled evf. So at lower price a beautiful evf can be released which was not available for S9. This will be photography version of S9 more than new S5.
One more update on S1H mark 2. It is Netflix approved from beginning and will also have external SSD recording and new battery.

Source 2:

Son’t get fooled – there will be no S1/S2 or anything like that on 8th October. Just 1 Entry-Camera, 1 Lens and Firmware, that’s all.

My personal bet yet is that Source 2 might be right. Still..I have some tiny hope left for a new S1HII too!
