I love the site and have been reading since the gh1/gh2 hacking days.

(FT2) Some more unverified Panasonic FF specs…

Share

I have told you many times that Panasonic will announce the development of the new Panasonic FF system camera on September 25. And only few specs will be unveiled. That’s probably why some of the rumors I got are conflicting or may not be right. Here are the latest info I got that has been NOT ve verifiable by my trusted sources:

– HEVC & H.264
– can record 8K (30p, 10BIT external?) and that is main reason for going fullframe
– additional modes are 2k (240p), 2.7K, 4K (120p?), 6K (60p?)
– Super35 Mode for anamorphic shooters
– ProResRaw may be supported with FW upgrades (they will outline a roadmap similiar to GH5)
– special low light mode (whatever that means)
– Photo features comparable to G9
– AI based Autofocus – or DFD next generation. So enhancements can be expected here

Please keep in mind that this rumors is unverified and ranked as FT2 (20-30% chance this is right).

–

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
  • Olympus is not joining the Panasonic FF system

Panasonic GH5 Long-term Review by Tony Northrup

Share

Tony:

“We’ve been using two copies of the Panasonic GH5 for more than 18 months now, and our experiences are mostly positive. It does a lot of things great! It has some serious weaknesses, too, like the autofocus… so we still switch to other cameras at times, including the Canon 6D Mk II and Sony a9.”

(FT5) Panasonic will launch new DFD2 with Artificial Intelligence….likely with the new Panasonic Full Frame camera!

Share


This is how the current DFD works

A trusted source gave us some insights on the new generation of DFD2 autofocus technology with artifical intelligence:

“Panasonic will not use PDAF pixel on their sensors in the near future. Instead they are working on DFD2 with AI – it may also be possible to “train” your camera. Will come in next year.”

I am 100% sure this info is correct. I am yet not 100% sure this feature will be on the new Panasonic Full Frame camera but a source told me that it’s highly likely as he heard the camera has a new “AI” feature!
