Panasonic Japan writes:

The theme of the LUMIX booth at CP+2025 is “PLAY with COLOR.”

At this year’s LUMIX booth, in addition to being able to experience the imaging performance that is a hallmark of LUMIX, we will also be offering touch-and-try events and seminars/workshops that will enable users to discover their own ways of enjoying image creation,including a wide range of photo styles and real-time LUTs .

The curious interesting thing on this page is the “coming soon” seminar which I am 100% certain to be for the new Lumix S1rII. I do not expect any new MFT gear

KORIN launched a new AntiTheft But resistant camera bag on Kickstarter (Click here). They have launched successful campaigns in the past, and I’m sure this one will sell well too. If you want the ultimate peace of mind, watch this video to see how it works:

Panasonic issued the full year financial report (PDF available here) and a plan to restructure the company (PDF available here). The financial report contains no info about how the camera business is doing. But there is an important news:

Panasonic announced a major asset restructuring plan, abandoning the unprofitable, hopeless, and weakly competitive TV business, dissolving Panasonic Electric Company and reorganizing it into three independently operated companies according to categories, thereby activating the vitality of this century-old Japanese company. The home appliance sector was organized as the “Smart Life Company”, the air conditioning sector was organized as the “Air Quality Air Conditioning, Food Distribution Company”, and the lighting sector was organized as the “Electrical Engineering Company”.

The ‘Smart Life Company’ includes the camera business, and I think the only good news is that they only want to sell the TV business for now. Let’s see in the next years if the Lumix business will be kept alive or sold like Olympus did.
