Panasonic confirms that there is a delay on digital camera production due the Kumamoto earthquake

Share

Two days ago I reported that both Olympus and Panasonic are rumored to have postponed many camera releases. And it’s likely the new GH5 and E-M1II will ship 2-3 months later than expected.

Today Panasonic Japan confirmed that the Kumamoto earthquake damage will have a negative impact on their digital camera business. Panasonic didn’t disclose any details about the possible shipment delays and affect on the future roadmap.

(FT5) Panasonic GH5 will have same GX80 sensor (but better performance)

Share

MFT-sony

The current Sony FT sensors listed at Sony.net.

A trusted soruce sent me this:

“I was told that the sensor in the GH5 will be fitted with the sensor out of the GX80, but with the ability to make the most of its output because of better processing and cooling.”

This means the GH5 will use the current 16 megapixel Sony made MFT sensor.
