Exciting: Panasonic launches a new countdown for their Photokina Press conference!

Share

After Nikon also Panasonic rediscovered the old-fashioned countdown marketing :) They just launched this Photokina page with a countdown to their press conference. The press conference will start at 12:30 Berlin time on September 25.

What can we expect from Panasonic? All I heard so far is that there might be a new G90 camera with GH5s similar tech. And maybe some new f/1.2 primes too!

Thanks Lumixcan
