I am working right now on getting more info about the new Panasonic Full Frame camera. In the meantime join the new Facebook group to discuss this camera further.
Just to be clear, this is rumored to not be a fixed lens camera as someone suggested. This is a entire new system camera!
This rumor has yet to be confirmed by my usual trusted sources. But this is what I am hearing for now:
The new Panasonic Full Frame camera will NOT use a Sony sensor
I have no idea if it means that Panasonic “designed” the sensor and Sony produced it. Or if this sensor is made by Towerjazz. Still, the exciting part of this rumor (if it turns out to be true) is that Panasonic will not simply reuse existing Sony FF sensors.

This is what Panasonic has to beat to win over potential buyers. They key for their success also lies on the lens roadmap. I hope they have some fast primes and zooms coming soon too!
I am working to get some info about the new Panasonic FF. Stay tuned and join our new Panasonic FF facebook group!
Rendering of a GH5 camera with Full Frame sensor and FF sensor (just a rendering and not the real camera!!!)
Well, folks the day has come that will mark a new history in this photographic journey. 10 years ago Panasonic announced the first mirrorless camera named “G1”. And now 10 years later Panasonic will announce a new Full Frame system camera on September 25!
Word on the street is that Panasonic will show a prototype and the final product will be on market during the first half of 2019.
One of the sources testing the camera said this is “as exciting as the Nikon Z7 announcement“. One went even further and said it’s “more exciting“. But of course, they might got carried away with their emotions so let’s keep our feet on ground. A third source said “video performance is superb“.

And now to the purely speculative part (no rumor here and no fact):
We have yet no specs to share and it’s unclear if this new system is made in collaboration with Leica and/or Olympus. I hope Olympus is on board with this but from the whisper I got it doesn’t seem that’s the case yet. The best guess (I repeat guess!!!!!!!!!) is that it used the same Leica SL mount. This is the accurate size comparison between the Gh5 with Leica SL mount and the current GH5:
I repeat, we have yet absolutely no info if that’s a new Panasonic mount or if Panasonic will join the SL mount system. Of course the advantage of joining Leica would be that they already have six lenses (see them here)…althaugh they are expensive :(
Moreover we have no info if they will keep the 4:3 format. I hope so! You can join the new Panasonic Full Frame Facebook group if you plan to buy this camera. There you can discuss all features and tests once it’s released!

The Sigma teased 50mm lens could be finally announced at Photokina. Months ago SAR reportsed the likely specs of this lens:
“Sigma 50/1.4 APS-C E-mount: 9 blades, less than 300g, around $600. Most probably around NAB 2018.”
This lens will be released for different mounts like Sony E, Fuji X and Micro Four Thirds.
