wolf33d Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Full press release leaked An extract: the FZ2500. This camera utilizes the same 20.1MP 1" MOS sensor as the LX10, but optimizes video performance with the inclusion of DCI 4K video recording and a true 24 fps frame rate, in addition to more conventional UHD 4K and Full HD recording modes. Also benefitting videographers, this camera includes Panasonic's CINELIKE D and CINELIKE V picture profiles for better grading capabilities, and V-Log L can be added via an optional upgrade. Additionally, high bit rate recording up to 200 Mbps is supported in both MP4 and MOV formats; video can be output over HDMI with a 4:2:2 10-bit signal; there is no recording duration limit; and a built-in ND filter can be used for enhanced control over exposure settings while recording Cinegain, mercer, Rinad Amir and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they leaked a price point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Yes, serious video options for the all-in-1 shooters. ND Filter like the Sony RX-series (or older LX7), woohoo! I do hope they've given the LX10 a vari-angle or 180° tilt touch display and mic-in! Then it's the perfect all-in-1'er. The thing I tend to grab the most for snaps and casual shooting is the LX100. It's just a nice solid easy and basic camera. But yeah, there's some things that added could mean tremendous value! Color me excited!

MattH Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The wording of that suggests that the LX10 doesn't have those features. Maybe its just bad wording. It would be strange if thats true as LX are generally meant to be higher end enthusiast compacts aren't they? Cinegain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Ah, sorry, you're absolutely right... 'but optimizes' [..] 'Additionally,' That's a big but (and I cannot lie!) Long day at work... my eyes/brain only reads what it wants to read apparently. Well that.. kinda... blows (0:39). What's the lens on the FZ2500 anyways? Is it again not a constant f/2.8? That's kind of a bummer with the FZ1000, it falls off zoomed in, unlike the RX10 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf33d Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Both specs are all over the internet just have a look, the lx10 has good features but not all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Ah, yeah, I see now (burnt through my lasts bits of energy today, so didn't bother to look everywhere)... http://www.43rumors.com/ft5-full-gx85-lx10-fz2500-press-text-leaked/ Does have the 180° tilt touch display I begged for and f/1.7 improved to f/1.4 on the wide end compared to the LX100. So I'd still be tempted to get swapping. Mat Mayer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd still be tempted to get swapping. The LX100 has the m4/3 sensor though, so it will probably get an update soon enough. It almost seems like they're testing features on lower end models for future higher end models, so maybe the LX200 will have a constant 1.4, or a 1.4-1.8.

JurijTurnsek Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Looks like a real video monster, hopefully is has full-sensor read-out: http://www.43rumors.com/ft5-first-images-new-panasonic-fz2000/ Mat Mayer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Good be good green screen camera for example, if the 10bit 4K 422 external is good from the FS2000 (as the deeper DoF of the 1" for green screen is not a bad thing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Mayer Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I love Panasonic. Feel like I want them to have every penny I spend on cameras and lenses. Most intersting part for me will be to see if the 200 mbps internal recording is enough to make up for the small sensor. As that will bode well for the camera most of us are really waiting for.

ntblowz Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 built-in 3 stage ND and auto ND function! Take that XC10/RX10 with only 1 weak 1/8 ND Wondering if the HFR still have the same limitation ie can't focus/zoom once recording started Flynn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 These really do seem interesting. I like the form factor of the LX10/15 better, but the specs of the FZ2500 sound awesome. Hopefully a hybrid of the two will show up in an upcoming LX200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_tee_vee Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hopefully the LX10/15 did not eliminate the need for an LX100 successor by consolidating the LX7 and LX100 lineups. Wishlist for an LX200: - Articulated touch screen - Exposure compensation with Auto ISO in "M" mode - Improved color profiles (no magenta cast on lips), Cine-D, v-log Lintelfilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see a test I did with the G7/GX80/LX100/E-M5II here where I balanced everything before shooting. I find the GX80 to have much more pleasant colours than any of the Panasonic cameras that I have used so far. Here's hoping that the GH5/G80/LX?? use similar colour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGXsDFfKDxE mike_tee_vee and Lintelfilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
