I still don’t know WHAT Panasonic will announce but I am 100% sure now about that:

• Major announcement event on October 8th
• Multiple(!) products will be announced

Drop me a message using this contact box if you can share more info about the gear that will be announced!

A list of possible gear coming:

• Lumix S1RII -> The Leica SL3 for poor guys :)
• Lumix S5D (crazy rumor about a new entry level camera without phase detection AF)
• Lumix S1HII (The Full Frame version of the Lumix GH7).
• standard zoom lens (something like 28-75mm)
• telephoto zoom lens (something like 100-500mm)

What are you hoping to get?

Fujifilm officially announced the new summit on October 14!

Asobinet spotted this Panasonic patent that describes the optical design of a full-frame lens that appears to be exactly the same as the new Leica Q3 43mm camera. Panasonic is well known for making some Leica cameras (SL and Q series). I did not expect this lens to be made by Panasonic as well.

Starting tomorrow, Topaz will be raising prices on their P Photo AI (Click here) and Video AI (Click here) apps. This is your last chance to secure a 15% discount on all future upgrades forever.
