At 15:00 Berlin time Panasonic will live stream their product announcement event at the IFA in Berlin (just click play on the button of the video above). UPDATE: Live stream is over and as expected they announced the new Panasonic HC-X1 camcorder we leaked previously.

The next press event is on September 19 at Photokina. We know the new G80 (or G85) will be announced along the new GH5 “prototype” or “preproduction” camera!
