These are the first leaked images of the new Panasonic Lumix GH7 that will be announced today at 22:00 London time. It’s confirmed it uses the same 25.2MP sensor of the Lumix G9II. Internal ProRes RAW and new XLR unit with 32bit float.
Stay tuned on 43rumors at 22:00 London time to follow the live stream and live blogging about the new camera!
On June 5 Panasonic will announce the new Lumix GH7. Different sources added some more tidbits about the camera but I still did not get any large spec list nor image. Send me a message at 43rumors@gmail.com or through the contact box if you happen to find some more info. Thanks!
Finally a trusted source confirmed it: On June 5 Panasonic will announce the new Lumix GH7! The source did not share the specs yet but I guess the “unconfirmed” specs I posted yesterday are likely to be true:
Most features of the Lumix G9II – >I guess this means same 25Mp G9II sensor?
internal RAW
new 32bit float recording methods via a new XLR unit
This week I got a rumor that a Panasonic NON-FF camera might be announced on June 5th. I still got no final confirmation this is going to happen. And I don’t know if this is going to be a new LX100 compact camera or a new MFT.
Fact is Panasonic has officially registered two cameras in China that still have to be announced. And in the past days I got some indication that we might get the GH7! Here are two messages I got:
Source 1:
Panasonic GH7 to be on market around July
has most features of the Lumix G9II
Has larger fan like the Lumix GH6
new 32bit float recording methods via a new XLR unit
Lumix LAB app support
Source 2:
Lumix GH7 is already being tested by “influencers”
This might be the camera announced on June 5 (but this is my speculation)
Testers feedback si that this is a near perfect camera for the MFT system
Our reader Jakub sent me a link to a ‘leaked’ information about a new camera. Now, if I shared this link publicly someone would get in trouble and probably get fired. So I’m keeping it under wraps for now, unless some other website publishes it and forces me to report it. In essence, this ‘leak’ tells us this:
It is an APS-C L-mount (I think this is very unlikely).
We know that Panasonic has registered three new Lumix cameras in China. One is for the new Lumix S9. The other two cameras have yet to be announced. it sounds pretty unusual for Panasonic to unveil a new camera two weeks only after the major S9 announcement. But the “leak” seems pretty accurate to me. I still don’t know what to expect, all I got is info from a new source saying this is a new MFT camera…but this is not a confirmed info yet.
I was hoping to get a new compact MFT Lumix from Panasonic. Instead on May 22 Panasonic will announce a new Full Frame version of the glorious little GM1 MFT camera. The new L-mount camera will be named S9 and be announced along two pancake L-mount lenses.
this is all we should get for now. But I heard more Panasonic events are scheduled from early Summer. They still have two more Lumix cameras registered in China. Usually this means we can expect two more cameras to be announced within 1-2 months!
Panasonic has invited a lot of “content creators” to the “Lumix Global Summit” event in Osaka. There is also this teaser for a May 22 announcement. All I heard is that there will be a new S9 L-mount camera. I have not heard any reliable rumor about a possible new MFT camera.
That said Panasonic officially registered three new cameras in China. The S9 is one of them…so we still have two more cameras to be announced soon! I hope one of them is the GH7 or a new entry level GM/GF kind of compact camera.
