According to the latest rumors we have from the rumor mill, Panasonic is about to announce the successor of the Panasonic G9 camera, which was announced back on November 2017, so it’s almost 5+ years finally we are having an update from Panny.
The Panasonic G9 was Panasonic’s flagship Micro Four Thirds camera. At the time of its announcement in 2017, the camera had a maximum burst speed of 20 frames per second with continuous autofocus and a maximum shooting speed of up to 60 frames per second. Additionally, its image stabilization was effective up to 6.5 stops and it also included Dual IS 2.0 technology. The G9 was capable of shooting uncropped 4K video at 60fps and also had an 80-megapixel high-resolution handheld mode. These specs were for the Panasonic G9 flagship Micro Four-Thirds format camera, which was announced back in 2017.
If Panasonic is planning to announce the G9 II in 2023, then you can imagine the set of improvements we will have in the G9 Mark II camera body.
Panasonic representatives have stated several times during interviews that the S5 Mark II camera sensor technology will not be limited to full-frame sensors only; they will also use the same hybrid AF technology for their Micro Four Thirds format cameras.
So, we are expecting a massive upgrade in the autofocus performance of the upcoming Panasonic G9 Mark II camera.
Finally, we are getting more confirmation of the specs that we published back on April 26, 2023. The biggest surprise in this announcement is that the camera is now able to record 6K at 30 frames per second and also has the ability to record 4K at up to 120 frames per second.

The improvements in the video capabilities are specifically due to the presence of the Fuji X-S20 (Fresh stock coming from July end at B&H Store), which was announced in May 2023. So, they have enhanced the video core specs of the upcoming camera to make it future-proof and also to be the best in its class.
The rumor mill (SAR.com) got confirmation from a leaked presentation slide, as shown above. The camera is expected to arrive this month on the 12th and we are waiting for its first leaked images and detailed set of core specifications. As soon as they become available to us, we will publish them. Stay tuned for future updates.
According to the latest rumors exclusively obtained by TNC, there is another ZV series camera in the announcement pipeline, featuring a 26MP sensor and scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2024. Sony ZV-E100 or FX-10: Sony’s NEXT 26Mp APS-C Camera Coming
According to the latest rumors from the ordinary filmmaker youtube channel, the Canon R5 Mark II camera is already in the hands of selected photographers and is expected to arrive in Q4 of 2023. So, the Canon R5 Mark II camera will be announced before the Canon R1 flagship camera, which is scheduled to come before the Olympics of 2024.
We have one more camera in the announcement pipeline other than Sony A6700, but at the moment we don’t know if it will be called the Sony ZV-E100 or FX 10. However, but for sure not only is Sony A6700 getting Sony’s 26MP sensor, we do have one more active camera which is said to arrive one or before Q1 of 2024.

Body design similar to ZV-E10 (Compact Made for Vlogger)
Announcement Timeline – Feb-March 2024
The camera will feature the same 26-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor that we have seen inside the Sony A6700 camera and Sony FX30. The camera’s top resolution is 4K at 60 frames per second, and full HD recording is available at 240 frames per second.
The camera has a very compact body design without an electronic viewfinder and a thin hand grip, which looks more similar to Sony’s ZV-E10 camera rather than the Sony A6700. The camera also has the latest AI processor being used inside the A6700 camera.
Electronic image stabilization for video is enhanced, and mechanical image stabilization for photos and video is available. It’s a trimmed-down version of the Sony A6700 camera made for content creators.

Nikon Z8 camera visited PhotonstoPhotos Labs, as we know the Nikon Z8 camera uses the same sensor we have seen in the Nikon Z9 camera. So the test score of both the camera looks almost like the camera.

As you know Nikon Z8 is impressive and features almost the same core specification we have in Nikon Z9.
Nikon’s latest mirrorless camera is equipped with the same stacked 45-megapixel image sensor and EXPEED 7 processor as the Z9. It supports high-speed continuous shooting at 20fps RAW, despite the fact that it has almost the same core specs as the Nikon Z9.
The overall Dynamic Range Test results of the Sony A7R V, as well as Canon R5, are also very impressive.
To compete with the Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD lens, Sigma is now working on a 50-140mm lens with a constant aperture of f/2.8. It may have an affordable price tag and they are also working on a new generation of 70-200mm f/2.8 lens.
We, already have Sigma lenses like 50-100mm F1.8, Sigma has filed a patent for a 50-140mm F1.8 Lens. In General whenever a camera maker files a patent for a new product, it roughly they take 1-2 years to make it an official. We do believe Sigma will put extra effort to make it faster.
Kind Code: A1 A compact image forming optical system having a small open F value over the entire zoom range is provided.
2. Description of the Related Art
In recent years, a so-called mirrorless camera, which eliminates a quick-return mirror that is arranged between an imaging optical system and an imaging device and guides light rays to a finder optical system, has become popular. Since the body of the mirrorless camera has been downsized by eliminating the mirror, downsizing of the imaging optical system is required accordingly. Also, there is a demand for a large aperture zoom lens with a small open F-number over the entire zoom range.
[0004]
Patent Document 1 discloses a positive lead type zoom lens having a bright open F number of about 2.8 and having a lens group closest to the object side fixed with respect to an image plane during zooming. Since the optical total length does not change, convenience and robustness are high, but there is a problem that the size of the imaging optical system is large. Patent Document 2 discloses a positive lead type zoom lens having a bright open F number of about 2.8 and a shortened total optical length at the wide-angle end. However, since many lens groups with large diameters that move during zooming are arranged on the image side of the aperture stop, the mechanism required for zooming is large, and the size of the lens barrel in the radial direction is large. .
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a compact image forming optical system with a small open F value over the entire zoom range .
Today, Phase One announced an overpriced $65,000 for a camera with a 150-megapixel medium format sensor made by Sony and a 23mm F5.6 (14.9mm, F3.6 equiv.) fixed lens. If the sensor was made by Phase One and was exclusive to that camera, even in that particular situation the $60k+ isn’t justified for a camera body with a lens.
However, we all know that after a while, the same sensor will arrive inside the body of a Hasselblad X2D 150c or X3D 150c camera or the Fuji medium format camera under the Fuji GFX 150 series. So there is a high probability that we will see that particular sensor in upcoming years in many different cameras.
These camera makers like Fuji and Hasselblad will hardly ask you for $10,000 or even less. So the big question is: who will pay that much amount to Phase One? This is the right time for them to learn from others like Fuji and Hasselblad to introduce a stripped-down line of their exclusive series in the competition.
Camera with Higher Price tag NEVER SALES Well, their CONSUMER BASE IS VERY LIMITED to FEW People
Some Budget Medium Format Cameras
But, one Camera maker shows some effort like Hasselblad did with their X Series, and puts the same sensor under an affordable Mirrorless body, and it goes in the TOP seller chart
Fuji GFX 100S is more popular among users and among the TOP selling camera @ B&H Store
