Today Panasonic published the Q3 financial report.

Q3 was a bad quarter for Panasonic. Sales and profit decreased and forecast for the whole company full-year operating profit was cut by 9.4% to 290 billion yen from 320 billion yen. The company cited heavy restructuring expenses and a “push to reform its group” as the primary reasons for the downward revision.

There is zero info about the camera business. So we don’t know how Lumix sales are going :(

Cameras are legendary imaging powerhouses, but even great gear has limits in real-world shooting. Noise in low light, resolution drops in Super 35 crop mode, and micro jitters from handheld B-roll can make post-production challenging. Most NLEs offer tools to fix these issues, but heavy manual tweaking often delivers mixed results and strains your hardware. That’s why I use VideoProc Converter AI as a prep and enhancement tool. It cleans, deblurs, denoises, and stabilizes my clips before editing, lets me apply quick adjustments when needed, and post-processes the final output, ensuring every shot is cleaner, steadier, and fully 4K-ready before it hits the timeline or is shared.

LUMIX has unveiled its CP+ 2026 theme: ‘DISCOVER YOUR COLOR‘. The booth’s floor plan is specifically designed around this concept, creating a space where creators can find the aesthetic and palette that best suits their style.
While the official CP+ LUMIX website is now live, we are still waiting for the full seminar schedule. A major highlight of the show will be the return of the L-Mount Alliance joint talk, featuring Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma. As for new gear, the rumor mill is currently quiet—there are no whispers of new cameras or lenses just yet—but all eyes will be on Panasonic to see if they have a surprise in store for the event.
