Panasonic Lumix S1R successor will be announced in February!

According to two reliable sources, Panasonic will launch a new successor to the Lumix S1R in February! This will happen before the start of the CP+ trade show (before Feb. 27). The sources have not yet shared the camera’s specifications, but it is clear that it will use the same Leica SL3 sensor and core technology. But unlike the Leica, the new successor to the S1R will be able to take decent video and will have a much more affordable price.

I don’t know yet if a lens will also be announced along with the new camera. I have heard some wild initial rumors that this might be the case, but I need further investigation….

Now, don’t be upset if you were hoping to get the S1HII first. Panasonic has officially registered three new camera models in Asia. All three cameras are expected to be announced in the first half of the year, and I suspect that the S1HII is one of them. I have no idea what the third camera might be, but I personally hope it will be this one 🙂

So now I will work on getting the full specs of the S1RII, possibly pictures and also some more information about the lenses. If all goes well, I might also be able to share the first information about the other two new cameras 😉
