The Leica V-LUX 5 has been discontinued

According to the latest information, the Leica V-Lux 5 camera has been discontinued and there is no further information shareed by Leica or the source whether Leica will continue this series or not, according to the latest reports we have.

TNC take – There is no way that Leica can continue the V-Lux series without the support of Panasonic’s rebranded cameras.

We all know and it’s written all over the internet that the Leica V-Lux 5 was a rebranded version of the Panasonic FZ 1000 Mark 2, specs wise both of them are still excellent options for those who love to have a compact zoom camera with DCI 4k video recording capability.

The Panasonic FZ 1000 II was announced back in March 2019, and Leica announced the V-Lux 5 Camera with some external grooming on 24 September 2020. But, after that, Panasonic kept silent on their FZ1000 series and no further update arrived. Maybe due to the low demand for compact cameras, the company decided to pause or halt the R&D of FZ series cameras.

Now we all know that Panasonic has dropped the support of their compact series except the G100 (the only compact still receiving updates), Even in the latest release, the entire focus of the Panasonic Lumix brand is on the research and development of their upcoming full-frame mirrorless cameras. They are also sharing some attention over the Micro Four Thirds cameras and so we are expecting the arrival of the Panasonic GH7 this year.

But at the end of the story, Leica has no option left. They are not able to rebrand any more new cameras in the name of the V-Lux series.
