bherman01545 Posted September 13, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) On the Sony Alpha Rumors site, there is a post where they state that it is 99.99% confirmed that Panasonic/Lumix will come out with a new camera Here are the details: Panasonic will launch a new Full Frame system camera on September 25 (will be on market by March 2019)– It will probably use the Leica SL mount and be compatible with their six lenses (those are expensive but also very good lenses)– Panasonic will both offer superb video quality with 4k60p and a new very high-resolution sensor (around 50MP and sensor designed by Panasonic)– The camera is aimed to compete with the best High-End cameras from Sony, Nikon, and Canon but with a much lower price rumored to be around $3,000 We will see. If this is true, Leica will certainly need to ramp-up their production of SL/TL lenses. -Brad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Hi bherman01545, Take a look here Sony Alpha Rumors - New Panasonic/Lumix to get an SL Mount!. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
bags27 Posted September 13, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 13, 2018 And, as I posted (sorry for the double posting) on the SL site: at Photokino, Panasonic's press conference is scheduled for immediately after Leica's and in the same room, suggesting some sort of coordination. But I just can't imagine that Leica doesn't have something ready itself, if it's going to allow Panasonic to so drastically undercut the SL. And at $3k with a FF sensor, the Panasonic would even undercut the CL. Something is wrong here. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bags27 Posted September 13, 2018 Share #4 Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) I'm going to double post this with the discussion in SL because I've traced the rumor on the Panasonic with a Leica SL/TL mount. The Sony site says this: – It will probably use the Leica SL mount and be compatible with their six lenses (those are expensive but also very good lenses) https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/category/rumors/ It cites as its authority here:https://www.43rumors.com/ But this is what 43 rumors says: There is still one major thing we have to learn about: The lens roadmap…I hope there are many fast primes and zoom right from the start! If it used theleica SL mount we will at least have sixe lenses avaialable now. They have great quality but also a great price (see here) That's it! pure speculation. "IF it used...." and that is how we get "probably".... Edited September 13, 2018 by bags27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
