Panasonic Camera Registrations in 2025 – Upcoming Camera Model codes of Panasonic full-frame and Micro four third format cameras, take a look below at the key points of the article
Key points of the article
- From the beginning of the year, Panasonic has registered approximately four cameras in the wireless application agency P2307, P2303A, P2305A, and P2306A
- It seems like the registered model code P2307 is the Panasonic S1R Mark II camera.
- After doing a little bit of research, we have found that the Panasonic P2303A could be the upcoming Panasonic S1H Mark II camera.
The registered model codes Panasonic P2305A and P2306A are less certain in terms of being a full-frame camera, so it can be any of the models, including the Lumix LX100 Mark III or a G series model.
Panasonic P2303A – The Panasonic S1 H II
Panasonic registered the P2303AA camera in DEC 2024. It is believed that the 2303A is the S1H Mark II camera, the camera is dedicated to SPEED and not Resolution, just like we have the A7 series in Sony, and we have already seen the high-resolution sensor update from Panasonic the S1R II recently, now it is time for the S1 H Mark II.
Panasonic Confirms they are working on S1H Mark II
Now, in a recent post, we have published an acknowledgment from the Panasonic developer team that they are working on the S1H Mark II camera.
After the announcement of the Panasonic S1R Mark II, the next full-frame camera to be announced is the S1H Mark II.
Panasonic P2306A and P2305A – LX100 III and more…
We are confirmed by the nature of product registration that both of the model codes are mentioned. the P2306A and the P2305A are MFT sensor-based updates, potentially one of them is the LX100 Mark II successor, the LX100 III camera expected to feature 25.2MP Live HYBRID MOS Micro Four Thirds Sensor from the G9 Mark II & GH7 camera. The other model could be a major update to the Panasonic entry-level line, the G100 II, so we have a huge range of possibilities let’s cross our fingers and wait for good news.
Here is a table summarizing the Panasonic camera model codes based on the provided information:
| Model Code |
Camera Model |
Sensor Type |
Status |
Expected Features / Notes |
| P2307 |
Panasonic S1R Mark II |
44.3MP Full-Frame |
Announced |
High-resolution full-frame camera |
| P2303A |
Panasonic S1H Mark II |
24MP Full-Frame |
Confirmed |
High-end video-centric full-frame camera |
| P2305A |
Panasonic LX100 III |
25.2MP MFT (Live Hybrid MOS) |
Confirmed |
Successor to LX100 II, likely compact MFT |
| P2306A |
Panasonic G100 II / Entry-Level Model |
MFT Sensor |
Unconfirmed |
Potential update to G100 series |
Conclusion
So, if we sum up all the information, then the Panasonic P2307 is the S1R Mark II camera, which has already been announced and features a 44.3-megapixel full-frame sensor. Now, the next camera on the list is the P2303A, which is expected to be the Panasonic S1H Mark II camera with a 24-megapixel sensor. These two models are almost confirmed. Apart from these two, we do have confirmation from Panasonic itself that they are working on a fixed-lens MFT model camera.

Panasonic LX100 Mark III and Panasonic S1H Mark II camera are coming, as well as a telephoto lens is also coming, so let’s explore the type of information we have related to all these, starting from the key points of this article.
Key points of this article
- Panasonic Confirms Development of a Fixed-Lens Compact Camera
- Panasonic is Developing New Telephoto Lenses
- Successor of the Panasonic S1H Camera in Development
The Lumix LX100 series was started by Panasonic in 2014, and it has been one of the most favorite cameras among professional photographers. It offers a 24-75mm equivalent Leica high-quality lens. The LX100 Mark II camera was released in 2018 with a 17-megapixel Micro Four Thirds format sensor.
As per reports, the LX100 II series line was discontinued by Panasonic Japan back in 2022 [source]. The reports at that time suggested that Panasonic was shifting its entire focus toward the development and announcement of mirrorless cameras.
Panasonic LX100 III Confirmation
The interviews, conducted with Panasonic managers , By a Chinese photography site, siad they are working on fixed lens compact camera, highlight the company’s response to a recovering fixed-lens camera market.
Now, as of March 4, 2025, based on recent interviews with Panasonic representatives, without specifically taking the name of the LX100 Mark II camera successor, they have confirmed in the interview that they are working on a fixed-lens compact camera, and it is under development.
Panasonic S1H Mark II
An interview video with Panasonic’s Matt Frazer has been released on the CineD YouTube channel. The interview itself confirms the development of the Panasonic S1 H II camera
(What about the Lumix S1HII?)
The successor to the S1H will come out eventually, but there is a development order to it, and it made sense to start with the successor to the S1R, since the sensor was already ready.
(Will there be more LUMIX products this year?)
Of course, we are working on future camera developments, and new products will be released in the future. I can’t really comment on the specific timeline, but I believe that many people will be satisfied with the new products that Panasonic will release. source CINED
Panasonic Confirms High-End L-Mount Telephoto Lenses
Upcoming L-mount lenses will have a focal length exceeding 300mm. That’s a clear indication that more and more high-end L-mount lenses are coming alongside the announcement of the S1H Mark II camera, which is focused on speed over resolution.
Rumors of a Panasonic Camera Inspired by Leica Q3
Prior to CP+ 2025, there were some rumors that Panasonic may announce a camera that is very similar to Leica Q3, possibly inspired by its design while having almost the same core specifications. However, at the same time, we cannot deny the possibility of a full-frame compact camera from Panasonic.
Upcoming Cameras and Lenses Confirmed by Panasonic
To organize the findings, here’s a table summarizing key points:
| Aspect |
Details |
| Fixed-Lens Cameras |
Confirmed in development, possibly an LX100 successor, with no specific release date. |
| Telephoto Lenses |
Need to be acknowledged, R&D increased, focus on full-frame >300mm, L-mount alliance collaboration. |
| S1H Successor |
In development, targeting professional video, potential 8K features, no launch date. |
| Market Insight |
Fixed-lens market recovering, young interest in retro CCD style noted. |
Conclusion: Panasonic’s Future Developments
So, the conclusion is that, based on the CP+ 2025 interviews, Panasonic is very actively working on the research and development of a fixed-lens compact camera as well as the Panasonic S1H Mark II camera. They are also focusing on high-quality L-mount telephoto lenses with enhanced video capabilities. We will update you as soon as we get any new information related to these developments.

What’s next from Nikon specifically in F1.2 lenses? Matt Irwin Photography, we have some gaps in the wide range and the tele range, although we do have lenses like:
We already have lenses like Nikon 50mm, 85mm, and the recently announced 35mm F1.2 lens. [check Nikon F1.2 Lenses at B&H Store and Adorama]
So the next upcoming lenses should be 24mm F1.2, maybe 28mm F1.2 (28mm is less likely to happen), and finally the 105mm F1.2 S. Yes, we do have the micro edition of 105mm F2.8, but not the portrait one with an F1.2 aperture.
Once the lineup is complete, Nikon will have an elite series of F1.2 lenses for the desired bokeh. Not limited to that, we will see some additions to the Noct lenses shortly.

According to the latest coming from rumor mill, the Sony A75 camera has been delayed. Earlier, it was expected sometime in April 2025, but the recent information coming from trusted sources of the rumor mill suggests the camera will arrive sometime in late 2025.
The exact reason is not known yet, take a look at what the sources of the rumor mill said about the dealy
Source 1
The Sony A7V is ready but Sony is waiting for Canon R6III to make the first pricing move in this segment, and are willing to postpone the A7V launch if they have to.
Source 2
The Sony A7v will be delayed, unfortunately a lot.
It could be so bad that it won’t come until the end of the year, late autumn at the earliest. This is information I have received from the depths of Sony.
Source 3 (trusted source):
Sony is still having problems producing enough Sony A1II cameras. This is also a reason why they are waiting with the launch of the new A7V. The production of the A1II should reach the targets by the end of March/April.
Sony A7S IV announcement this year
Now finally, one more important piece of information related to the upcoming camera—Sony will be announcing the A7S IV camera this year, and that’s the hint that we have received from the rumor mill. It’s not the A7R6 or the A75, which has been delayed, of course. We already have updates on the Sony A93 camera recently, which is not too old with a newer Global sensor and advanced processing power.
The only leftover series that actually needs an URGENT update in the consumer-level mirrorless lineup of cameras is the Sony A7S series, which has been continuously ignored and is still waiting for an update. So, we are expecting the arrival of the A7S4 this year. We will keep you updated as soon as we get any new information related to the upcoming camera.

Due to the growing pressure of Panasonic’s recent camera announcement, models like S5, S5IIX, and S1R II intensifying the market competition with built-in professional video graphics features like an anamorphic de-squeeze setter, angle waveform, and a lot of features that professionals in videography would love to have in their cameras. But again, they also have some limitations, like the first generation of hybrid autofocus system, which is not as good as the other brands. But, the recent set of feature upgrades announced by Nikon for the Nikon Z6 III and Z8, give us a clear hint that Nikon is consdering Lumix as their main competitor, and upscaling their camera features o match or surpass Panasonic’s advanced videography capabilities, catering to both professional filmmakers and hybrid shooters.
Nikon’s Interest in Cinematography
We all know that Nikon is now more interested in cinematography since it acquired the RED camera division. It is a bit more serious about filmmaking and enhancing videography for cinematographic features in its consumer professional mirrorless cameras.
Nikon’s Recent Firmware Update
In addition to that, in a recent firmware update, Nikon has updated the N-Log of the Z6III, reducing noise in the dark areas of N-Log videos. They have mentioned this in the recent update, so it’s a kind of major update that UPSCALES the N-Log video recording of the Z6III camera.
Shutter Angle and New Features in Nikon Z6III & Z8
Apart from this major update, 15 steps of shutter angle from 5.6 degrees to 360 degrees have been added in the Z6III and Nikon Z8 cameras.
Apart from these two major updates, a lot of various custom control settings have been added, like selecting the color of the zebra pattern that includes black, grey, red, green, blue, etc. A waveform monitor—which was not available in the previous generation of their cameras—has also been added.
At the same time, high-resolution lossless zoom has also been added. If you are creating your videos and experimenting with your FX camera, then the digital high-resolution lossless zoom feature is available to you.
