Panasonic rumored to announce two new cameras soon!

On December 17, Panasonic registered a new camera model in China with the code “P2305A.” Earlier, on November 22, they had registered another camera, “P2307A.” This suggests that Panasonic is gearing up to release two new cameras within the next 3–4 months.

For clarification, these codes are not for the upcoming G97 or TZ compact cameras, as those only support 2.4MHz. The newly registered models support 5.1MHz as well, indicating something more advanced.

My guess? We might be getting both the SR1II and the S1HII. That would be exciting, wouldn’t it?

 

 

Every Mirrorless Camera Under $100 Today

For all the budget-minded photographers out there you’re in luck because there are several interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras you can get today for under $100. I tried only grabbing those I could consistently find for $100 or less, but do keep in mind prices fluctuate a lot. The best thing to do is be patience. Pick the camera or two or want, put in search alerts and wait for the best deal. If you’re impatient, you will pay a premium ;)

Sigma is developing a telephoto lens that “has never existed before”

Kazuto Yamaki, the CEO of Sigma, recently shared his thoughts on the company and the photography industry in an insightful, honest, and thought-provoking discussion. The conversation is well worth watching!

At the very end, he offered an intriguing sneak peek: Sigma is developing a telephoto lens like no other. Yamaki hinted that this new lens could be a game-changer for sports and wildlife photographers, saying it’s something they might find very exciting.

While the specifics remain a mystery, a few unique Sigma patents from recent years come to mind, such as:

  • 60-700mm f/4.5-7.4
  • 50-500mm f/4.5-6.5

It’s unclear if this new lens aligns with these designs, but it’s certainly an exciting prospect. What do you think—or hope—Sigma will unveil in 2025? Share your thoughts in the comments!
