UPDATE: I still cannot confirm if the announcement is happening tomorrow. That image you see on top is for the closed press event. Not sure if there will be some days of NDA before the actual public announcement!

I still cannot confirm this via solid sources. But one source heard that Panasonic will announce the GH6 development along the new GH5II launch. If this is true it would lift a heavy weight from all of us that are disappointed with the GH5II.

It would make indeed sense for Panasonic to offer an updated and affordable GH5II along a high end and more expensive GH6 camera. So let’s hope this one source isn’t wrong :(

at least we can have some fun on this rumor :)

In his last video Matti Sulanto announces he is no longer a Lumix ambassador. But there is also a teaser: He is testing a new MFT lens. No idea if it’s a Panasonic lens or from a third party manufacturer:

A reader sent me this teaser image for the GH5II announcement. Still hope this GH5II is just a new entry level model and the new high end GH6 might be announced in autumn.

Here are the full GH5II specs:

I hope this doens’t mean an 8K GH6 is far out :(

And we are finally here! Panasonic will announce the new GH5II very soon and those are the leaked specs:

• Name: Panasonic “LUMIX DC-GH5M2”
• 20.33 million effective pixels
• 4K60p video
• 3.68 million dots 120fps compatible EVF
• DMW-BLK22 battery
• size 138.5x 98.1×87.4mm
• weight 647g (main unit only)
• US price It will cost $ 1697 ($ 2297 for the 12-60mm kit).

This sounds like a minor upgrade to the GH5 and definitely underwhelming don’t you think? I don’t know if this means that there will be no new 8K GH6 camera at all :(

E-M1X now sells for $1,799 at Amazon, GetOlympus, Adorama, BHphoto.

I got a rumor saying that the EM1X will receive a FW v3 in June at earliest. And a successor is likely yo be ready in 2022. Makes sense to me!
