Update: Panasonic still has one registered but not yet announced new camera

By PR admin | Published: May 29, 2026


A quick update to my previous post: Panasonic now has one registered but not yet announced new camera under the code name P2503A:

  • Panasonic P2409A: Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth. This could correspond to the new Lumix L10.
  • Panasonic P2501A: Bluetooth only, no Wi-Fi. This could correspond to the Lumix ZS300/TZ300, which was announced on March 24th.
  • Panasonic P2303A: Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth. It was registered on September 28th, 2023, so it may correspond to an abandoned project.
  • Panasonic P2503A: Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth, not yet announced.
