Panasonic and Sigma rumored to announce new L-mount cameras in the coming weeks
Both Panasonic and Sigma are rumored to announce new L-mount cameras in the coming weeks:
Sigma fp II (L-mount cine compact)
- 24MP full-frame sensor
- L-mount
- Open gate recording
- Internal RAW
- Cine-focused
- Optional EVF
- Body slightly larger than the fp L
- Price around $2,500
- Successor to the fp / fp L series
- Possible announcement by November, with October 23-24 floated as a candidate (Sigma has product events around then, including a Sigma China special event on October 23):
Sigma has a new product launch event scheduled for October 24th
Rumored Panasonic Lumix camera
- Will be announced for Lumix’s 25th anniversary.
- A new L-mount cine camera is the strongest possibility – either a more traditional S1H-style successor or a boxier, FX5-style cinema body. Another option is something like an S9II or a new Micro Four Thirds camera (GH8 or a more compact GM/GF-style body).
- Panasonic announced “Lumix Collective” anniversary events starting mid-November (Manchester on the 17th, then other cities), which could give hints about the potential announcement timeline.
