seku Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 an FT5 (high probability) rumor on 43rumors seems to point at a "BIG" product announcement from Panasonic : Quote I told you yesterday that Panasonic will announce “something big”. The new info I got is that there is an event on December 15. So we should expect tos see this new product around that day (+/- 1 day depending on your time zone). I still don’t know for sure what this might be. But definitely it’s something related to Micro Four Thirds and to something BIG. Which means we will not just get a new lens or entry-level camera. But something more High End! Now, I hope, that BIG refers to BIG Pixels, as in Quad Bayer HDR coding of the successor sensor of the GH5. There's some pointers a new high sensitivity camera out in the wild... Some of my musings on that topic here Frankly, i cannot wait for December 15 JordanWright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Kotlos Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 After GH5 and EVA-1 I can't see Panasonic releasing another videocentric camera this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanWright Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Panasonic or Leica prosumer Anamorphic lenses is on my wish list A GH5s would be cool but I don't think it would draw me away from my GH5 IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There also was the Panasonic G9. Not super video related, but for the average person probably better way to go than the GH5. Yeah that would seem to me also like a heck of a lot of cameras in one year to still add another.. Eno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I spoke to a Panasonic rep some months ago who said they would be announcing more about the organic sensor at the end of the year. Cas1, DBounce and Eno 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see an anamorphic lineup from Panasonic/Leica. A raw output option for the GH5 would also be welcomed. Or perhaps a lowlight GH5 variant? Just read about the organic sensor that Panasonic has been developing for the past several years. 100x wider DR and also another that can capture color in just 0.01 lux of light. We can only hope! webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonpais Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 @JordanWright Have you got any idea how much a PanLeica anamorphic would cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanWright Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Cheaper than the competitors I would imagine, but who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 ??? Veydra tried, I think it was going to run over $5,000, so they abandoned the idea, and they’re for budget filmmakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanWright Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Ahh I didn't know that - would have been awesome if they were able to get them lowered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but if it even more bettered selling of their topline m43 cameras - fulfilling most demanded dreams of indie filmmakers - wouldn't be that step not so out of logic from commercial/branding point of view? I don't know, but isn't it also obvious that markup margin for Panasonic is greatly higher than for small company lens makers? So, if Panaleica 42.5 has production cost of, say, 500 $, maybe some similar anamorphic lens wouldn't be more than 1000$? Or I'm too naive...

jonpais Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 A Rectilux alone runs around $1,000. PanLeica's new telephoto, $3,000. Sorry, anonim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonim Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Well, than PanLeica 42.5 + Rectilux = Anna1(stepsister of Eva1)Leicamorph 2000 $ Voila! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
