Two new L-mount cameras coming soon: Leica SL3-S and Panasonic Lumix S1R II


Two new L-mount cameras are coming soon: Leica SL3-S and Panasonic Lumix S1R II.

The Panasonic Lumix S1R II (not sure about the exact model name) is expected in February for the CP+ show in Japan. Panasonic has already registered three not-yet-announced cameras, so more than one new model is possible. Several Panasonic Lumix S models are already heavily discontinued.

Panasonic registered a new P2305A camera in Asia

The Leica SL3-S will be announced this week on January 16th. The leaked specifications can be found here:
