Interesting if it is more compact than the S5 but i don't hold my breath. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planetwide Posted December 21, 2022 Share #142 Posted December 21, 2022 I am hopeful, I doubt that it will be better, probably the same as Sony/Canon. But you never know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmans Posted December 21, 2022 Share #145 Posted December 21, 2022 I think a pocketable video cam equal to the X2 size is in order. If I was Leica and Panny… I would question the younger crowd and tailor it directly to their needs size, ergonomics, memory, editing software Wi-Fi.. etc. the Panny price has to be under $1000 with the Leica over $1000.

SiggiGun Posted December 30, 2022 Share #149 Posted December 30, 2022 Of course, the new Panasonic may be a "goof" base for a SL3 at least to add 2 very often asked features: Phase detected AF and moveable screen (which is not my demand) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cboy Posted December 30, 2022 Share #151 Posted December 30, 2022 So the upcoming S5 mkII will suggest the Pana Leica camera Collab will also have PDAF? How likely is another Pana Leica FF Camera with PDAF? Or is it just a pipe dream? The only way I could think this could happen without cannibalizing existing product lines is a FF camera in the same vain as a lx100 /dlux. A FF compact camera with fixed (non 28mm sub f2) or zoom lens (perhaps a WATE OR MATE). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom.w.bn Posted December 30, 2022 Share #154 Posted December 30, 2022 The EVF definitely needs an upgrade. An upgraded AF is surely nice for some, although the existing AF-C was good enough for my needs. I don't understand the product policy with two similar bodys and the same sensor. One video oriented camers (S5 II) and an even more video oriented camera? Other manufacturers have photo oriented cameras and video oriented cameras. Panasonic currently only has the S5 because that's the only body that sells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planetwide Posted January 1, 2023 Share #156 Posted January 1, 2023 I think that the first is a S1 replacement, and maybe the second is a S1h replacement. Just a guess. Glad to see PDAF though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is to share development costs for the basic architecture, instead of having each company develop their own Bluetooth interface (for example). In other words, all of the un-sexy building blocks that are necessary for building modern cameras. This should free-up resources for the things that make each brand really unique. Sure, you could argue that the M9's SD card implementation was "unique," but it certainly wasn't what made that camera desirable! It's best to combine forces for this type of thing, so that more can be spent on design, haptics, colour science, etc. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharing development/increasing volum of e.g. the processor - like Leica's Maestro processor vs a common L2 processor - must be a significant gain for both companies (Leica particularly, I would guess). Personally, I prefer Leica and Lumix colours over those from Canon and Nikon (the other systems that I am familier with). Could be accidental, but more likely the result of collaboration. Etc.
