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