On Mirrorlessrumors you can read the full rumored Leica Q2 specs. The curious news is that the Leica seems to use the same Panasonic S1R 47 Megapixel sensor. Panasonic said this sensor isn’t made by Sony. But that’s something Nikon keeps telling too and we know their sensors are made by Sony.

Panasonic stated multiple times they will not make APS-C L-mount lenses. But yet here we are with a brand new Panasonic patent disclosing the 18mm f/4.0 APS-C lens. I am uncertain if this lens will have L-mount or still be for MFT.
I don’t see Panasonic making APS-C lenses any time soon. They focus now will be on making new FF lenses as fast as they can.
Sigma is rumored to announce their first L-mount lenses in one month from now! Right before the Cp+ show they will unveil a roadmap of L-mount lenses. By end 2020 there should be 14 Sigma L-mount lenses on market!

A readers sent me this screengrab from the Panasonic S1 and S1R press release:
So the Panasonic S1R will be $300 more expensive than the Nikon Z7 and $500 more than the Sony A7rIII.
The Panasonic S1 will be $500 more expensive than both the Nikon Z6 and Sony A7III.
Price different might be hopefully justified by the performance. But it’s annoying to know you have to pay extra to get 4k30p 10bit 4:2:2 !!!
The announcement will happen in a few hours at exactly 11:00 London time. I will live blog here and give you all early info and reviews. Let’s hope the new Panasonic are even more impressive in real world performance!

Seems like Panasonic made a bit of a mess. First they made a teaser for the Jan 31 announcement but in very last-minute they decided to postpone it for a few hours. We have been told the official Panasonic S announcement will happen at tomorrow (February 1st) 11:00am London time.
