PM: “Just thought you may be interested in this. The DC Watch Camera Awards for 2018. Has a number of M43 cameras in the list. Actually, M43 has done pretty well in this years list. 4 in the top 20 (5 if you include LX100 ii). Proves that M43 is doing rather well (at least in Japan) still. https://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1160690.html“
Panasonic USA sent out a newsletter to confirm a Panasonic S1-S1R preview at the CES show. Not sure if it means that full specs will be unveiled. One thing is sure, it doesn’t sound like there will be new MFT gear at CES.
We will live stream the Panasonic press event at 10am Las Vegas time of Jan 7.
As I reported today on L-rumors.com Panasonic has organized a major journalist and store manager gathering for the last week of January. Usually this happens when they announce a new product. I don’t think they will unveil some new MFT gear but rather announce full specs and pricing of the new S1-S1R Full Frame cameras.
The best we can hope is that they might announce the pricing of that f/1.7 superzoom MFT lens…
