The 8K camera prototype wit organic sensor displayed by Panasonic a couple of years ago
PetaPixel had a chat with Tomoki Nakanishi, Supervisor at Panasonic’s Imaging Business Unit. About the organic sensor he said:
“If we [make a] new camera, we can choose that kind of sensor. But it’s kind of an R&D matter. So it is not [certain] that we will use that sensor in the next camera or not.”
PetaPixel put it this way: “You’ve made it, but you don’t know whether or not you’ll use it.” To which Nakanishi responded: “Yeah.”
Sigma is finally going to announce that is super exciting! According to my very best source Sigma will announce a super fast prime lens by end of this Month! I can’t share the final specs yet but this is what you can expect for sure:
Hopefully soon I can fully share the lens specs…
E8M on Weibo spotted two more new camera registrations from Panasonic (we now have a total of three registered cameras). Usually this means that Panasonic will announce those cameras within 2-3 months. All three cameras do support dual band Wifi (5.1 and 2.4 GHz). The dual band support usually is a sign for a mid to high end level camera.
Camera 1: Panasonic S1RII
I am certain one of the cameras is the new Full Frame S1R camera. I told you that my trusted source told me that Panasonic and Leica co-developed the just announced SL3. And the agreements says that Panasonic will announce their High res camera only a couple of months after this camera…with same sensor and similar specs. The S1RII will have better video tough.
Camera 2: new compact FF L-mount camera?
I am uncertain what we can expect from the second model. Panasonic openly confessed they are thinking about a more compact L-mount Full Frame camera. So this could be an option.
Camera 3: GH7 MFT camera?
It’s also clear that we are in dire need of a new GH7 MFT camera.
