Panasonic will announce the new Lumix S5D, new firmware and new lens(es) on October 8th

The 18-40mm pancake lens

I am now 80% certain that tomorrow (October 8th) Panasonic will announce the following gear:

Panasonic Lumix S5D:

  • Slightly updated S5 camera
  • New Oled EVF
  • Price with kit lens is 1599 Euro

Panasonic Lumix S 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3 Lens

  • Lens announced in Spring and already listed here at BHphoto.

Firmware updates:

  • firmware updates for the current line with a focus on the app and new “Film simulations”

The rest of the rumors mostly published by Chinese news websites are totally unreliable:

UNCERTAIN: Another new lens

  • Possibly a new 28-70mm or 100-500mm L-mount lens (as teased on their roadmap)

VERY UNLIKELY:

  • Lumix S1HII
  • Lumix S1RII
