Talks about Panasonic abandoning the cinema camera lineup

By PR admin | Published: January 7, 2022

YC published a new article where they talk about Panasonic abandoning the cinema camera lineup:

“If you needed any proof that the Panasonic camera division is dying, then search no more. Just watch the Panasonic CES 2022 Press Conference. That presentation takes 54 Minutes long focusing on B2B products, and only 5 Seconds dedicated to the next LUMIX (GH6?). Moreover, there’s no mentioning whatsoever regarding its cinema lineup.

They also mentioned the fact that in the whole CES presentation, Panasonic talked only for 5 seconds about the upcoming GH6 camera:
