Looks like the September 2 announcement from Panasonic will not bring us any new MFT gear. We will “Only” get the new S5 (specs here on L-rumors) and probably some affordable L-mount glass.
No info yet when we can expect an announcement with new MFT gear :(
On September 2 Panasonic will announce the new S5 L-mount full frame camera. This one will feature a new battery named “DMW-BLK22”. The new battery “DMW-BLK22” is compatible with GH5/GH5S/G9 in addition to S5. The prices currently listed are $89 for the DMW-BLK22

A source told me this:
I have recently been told by a Olympus representative that JIP is most likely to continue developing the PRO segment of their MFT system, and possibly there will be a re-branding without the Olympus name. It is also likely that they will discontinue the volume cameras, such as the E-PL series. Non of this is officially confirmed, but it is said that they are working on a press release that will be released within approximately one month from today.
Makes sense to me….what do you think?
Panasonic will announce new camera/lens gear during the first week of September. For sure there will be a new S5 Full Frame L-mount camera. Don’t know if there is going ot be new MFT gear too…
