Panasonic financial report: “Appliances” sales down (this includes cameras)

Panasonic published the full financial report. There is nothing we can learn about their camera business because it’s included in the more general “Appliances” category. Sales in this category dropped by 4%. I can’t imagine the Lumix segment doing well in terms of sales. This is what i hear unofficially from store owners. And I think if they keep releasing cameras such as the GH5II this will not make it better :(
a bit of everything…

Plenty of news on the facebook OMD group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.
(FT5) Here are the leaked specs of the new Panasonic GH5 Mark II

And we are finally here! Panasonic will announce the new GH5II very soon and those are the leaked specs:
- Name: Panasonic “LUMIX DC-GH5M2”
- 20.33 million effective pixels
- 4K60p video
- 3.68 million dots 120fps compatible EVF
- DMW-BLK22 battery
- size 138.5x 98.1×87.4mm
- weight 647g (main unit only)
- US price It will cost $ 1697 ($ 2297 for the 12-60mm kit).
This sounds like a minor upgrade to the GH5 and definitely underwhelming don’t you think? I don’t know if this means that there will be no new 8K GH6 camera at all :(
