(FT5) The new Panasonic FF has way more than the “rumored” 30 megapixels!

Share

A highly trusted source read the previous FT2 rumor and told me this right now:

The new Panasonic FF camera has WAY MORE than the rumored 30 Megapixels.
Panasonic will only announce the devlopment on September 25 and not all specs are final or shared.

This is a trusted source so it means we can be 99% be sure he is spot on with this!

To sum up this what we know so far (FT5):

  • Panasonic will announce a new Full Frame Mirrorless system camera on September 25
  • Panasonic will only show a prototype with non finalized specs
  • The new camera will go on market by March 2019
  • Panasonic has designed this new sensor
  • The camera will have way more than 30 Megapixels
  • The camera has excellent video quality

These are the unconfirmed rumors (FT2….may be right or may be wrong):

  • The camera will take current MFT lenses via adapter
  • Costs around $3,000
  • Has no on sensor stabilization
  • 2 slot card
  • 4K with no crop in FF and 10 bit 4:2:2
  • weather sealed

(FT2) Confirmed and Unconfirmed details of Panasonic FF camera

Share

An anonymous source sent me the following rumor about the new Panasonic FF camera. Note that this is from a new source meaning it could be completely wrong. But I do hope trusted sources can read this and quickly tell me if what’s written here is right or wrong:

Confirmed and Unconfirmed details of Panasonic FF camera from a mid level Panasonic engineer who worked on early camera development:

Unconfirmed: the camera will use a new Panasonic sensor unsure of MP but believed to be around 30MP

Confirmed: full frame readout in 4k no pixel binning, no crop in 4k 24/25

Confirmed: internal 4k 10bit 4:2:2 recording up to 60p (all i frames in 24/25 believed to be around 200mbs)

Unconfirmed: possible 4k raw recording (may be external output only, there had been some early difficulty with hdmi and raw output)

Unconfirmed: two card slots not sure if they are 2 x sdxc or 1x cfast 2.0 and 1x sdxc (probably depends on whether raw recording is internal or external)

Unconfirmed: early prototype had no ibis due to sensor size and other internal elements, may change on release.

Unconfirmed: new ff lenses will have is, unsure if all new lenses will have it but if there is no ibis then it would make sense.

Confirmed: audio adaptor similar to gh5 with more robust connection and additional controls

Partially Confirmed: there will be some type of variable nd, not sure if this is an add on adaptor or built in.

Confirmed: adaptors will be available for other lens mounts canon ef etc… unsure if they will work with the nd adaptor.

Confirmed: weather sealed body, unsure if it is fully weather sealed but speculation is it is shower /splash dust proof.

Ports: headphone, mic, usbc, hdmi, flash to double as timecode sync as with Gh5s

Pricing unavailable: estimated to be in the region of 3k

Panasonic are confident this new camera will be a big seller and will seriously challenge Sony and Canon as the top selling ff mirrorless camera.

I repeat that this info is from a new sources. So please keep that fact in mind when discussing the specs.

Totally unconfirmed Panasonic FF specs coming soon on 43rumors

Share

Just a heads up:

Over the weekend I got the possible Panasonic FF specs from a completely anonymous source. I was not able to verify the rumor with trusted sources. I will therefore post them on 43rumors at 12:00 London time with a low ranked FT2 mark.
I hope my trusted sources will be able to shortly after tell me if the info is correct or not.

Readers should please know these specs are yet unverified ok?

Thanks
