Will Canon announce the R5II and another camera on May 15?

Canon might announce two new cameras on May 15. One could be the R5II while it’s unclear what the second camera might be. But according to Simon from ordinary Film maker there will be definitely no new R1. He reports this camera launch has been delayed due some issues on the prototype.

I hope the second camera is a new Canon vintage model…what do you hope to get?

Panasonic is rumored to announce a new Lumix Full Frame fixed lens camera in May!

There is a fair chance that in May Panasonic will announce as new fixed lens compact camera! We have no specs yet but it should be

  • Full Frame
  • way more affordable than the only player in this field, the Leica Q3
  • Come in different color variations

So this camera would fall right into the hype of fixed lens cameras and in particular unique spot: Much more affordable than the Leica Q3 and much higher image quality than the Fujifilm X100VI. Could it become a hot seller too?

I have no info yet about the possible specs although i speculate it will use the same S5II sensor. What do you think about this possible new fixed lens model?

Thanks L. for sharing this! Hope you can share more info soon!

Panasonic will announce a new “unprecedented” Lumix camera in May

Trusted sources confirmed that Panasonic will have a major announcement in May! The interesting tidbits is that this will be a completely “new kind of Lumix model”

The source has not yet provided any details about what this camera will be. But certainly do not expect a successor to a current model. We can only speculate that it could be a new fixed-lens camera, a Vlogger model, or perhaps a compact camera with an L FF mount. What do you wish for?
