The Japanese site DC.watch interviewed Panasonic manager to talk about the present and future of photography.

– High Megapixel cameras are coming (from all manufacturers). Megapixel race will never go away says Panasonic
– Panasonic is working on 6K and 8K video recording. 8K will come before 2020 (Olympic year).
– The ultimate “dream” is to beat the human eye performance
– There is the potential to use pure electronic shutter only
– Micro Four Thirds is the perfect sensor size for Panasonic. But they not rule out to create a second larger sensor size system.
– A medium format camera from Panasonic is highly unlikely to happen :)

Panasonic UK is re-running the double cashback offer in UK. You can see how to get it on that special Amazon UK Panasonic page (Click here). The only bad news is that there seems to be no such deal in any other European country :(

You can follow the Panasonic CES press conference live on that page: panasonicces2015.com. I am yet not sure Panasonic will announce new MFT cameras at CES. CP+ show is the more “ideal” event for that. But there may be new compact cameras and video cameras they will show at CES. Panasonic itself writes about CES:

In addition to 4K camcorders and twin camera compatible camcorders, visitors will also be able to try LUMIX cameras equipped with the “4K Photo” function, which enables users to capture one-of-a-kind, memorable still photos from 4K videos, as well as a wide range of semi-professional 4K products.

43rumors reader W. (Thanks) shared that image of the official answer he got from Olympus. The Open Platform project will take place in Japan only. So there is no way for non-Japanese residents to join the program :(
