First rumors about a possible S5H…

For what’s worth. I got this from an anonymous source:

Panasonic S5H: It’s a lightweight camera, but likes the 15Mp version of S1H. S5H supports FF 4.8K oversampled UHD-4K 120fps with the DFD AI. Also, FF 16:9 4.8K 60fps or FF open gate 4.8K 48fps with the ‘Dynamic Range Boost mode’ is supported.

Lumix Ambassador makes another Easter egg: Teases the launch of a new camera with “Sick AF”?

In his latest LUMIX live-session, Sean Robinson did place another easter egg. While picking up a card reader that “accidentally” fell to the ground, he showed a printing on the back of his t-shirt: “S1CK A.F.”

Likely a hint for a new camera with phase detection AF? Sean did a similar “eater egg” action before the GH6 launch. And I guess this time he is doing it for a new S camera!


Thanks Harry!

Sigma patented a new 18-50mm f/2.0 APS-C lens

Asobinet, who spotted the patent, says [google translated]:

Looking at the lens configuration, it is very similar to the 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN (not 100% match). Perhaps F2 zoom was one of the options during the examination stage of practical use lenses. However, now that F2.8 zoom has appeared, it seems unlikely that F2 zoom will see the light of day.
