Panasonic interview at Dpreview: The Panasonic 10-25mm f/1.7 “is coming soon”

Share

Dpreview had a chat with Panasonic engineers and here are some info:

Panasonic 10-25mm f/1.7:

We’re developing the 10-25mm F1.7 lens for Micro Four Thirds, that’s coming soon.

MFT verus S lenses:

Compared to MFT lenses the new S lenses have a newly-developed double focus system and an ultrasonic assist system

About the MFT and S system development:

of course we are developing both S-series and G-series at the same time. We have optimized our human resources internally so that we can develop both S series and G series to the highest standard.

About a possible video oriented S camera:

In the future, we’d like to consider the users’ needs: it’s open to users’ feedback.

MFT vs S when it comes to video:

Image stabilization and overheating will be less of an issue, compared to full-frame sensors.

Dpreview editors got the impression that “For now, at least, it seems that Panasonic sees the GH series as its main video/stills camera platform.”

Time to get the new GH6 folks :)

Panasonic reports a +8% profit for the fiscal year 2019

Share

 

Panasonic published their yearly financial report. There is no info at all about their camera business. Camera sales are hidden within the general (and very large) electronic appliances segment.

All we can learn is that as whole the company did well with +8 operating profit. But for the next fiscal year Panasonic expects a 1% reduction in revenue and 27% reduction in operating profit.
