The LUMIX DC-S1R Mark II is a mirrorless camera from the LUMIX S series, announced at the end of February 2025. It is equipped with a newly developed 44MP BSI sensor and a processor that supports high-speed processing using L2 technology. It supports 40 frames per second continuous shooting and 8K 30p video recording. As an alternative to expensive stacked CMOS sensors, it has high-speed performance.
At the same time, it is significantly smaller and lighter than the previous model, and the selling price, at least in North America, is cheaper. Furthermore, it has a high-resolution EVF and a tilt + vari-angle monitor, but the body size is close to that of the S5II.
Key points of Panasonic S1R II Test Results
- According to the Photons to Photos test results, NOISE REDUCTION is applied to RAW from ISO 6400 onwards, which results in higher test scores, but caution is advised if you value detail over noise. The results are very similar to DPReview’s studio scene test.
- On the other hand, unlike the previous model, which applied noise reduction even at base ISO, it seems that the noise reduction process is not applied at low ISOs. If you are shooting stars, etc., it seems that there will be no problem if you keep the ISO up to around 5000.
- While the peak values are lower than other high-resolution sensors, the difference in performance is not surprising, and in comparison, the results are better from ISO 6400 onwards (thanks to noise reduction).

One of the best budget cameras to record 6K open-gate recording, earlier or when it was announced, there was a 4K 15-minute recording limit in the camera, and for which it was criticized at the time of announcement. But Panasonic listened to us, and on October 9, 2024, they released their first firmware update, version 1.1, and they removed the recording limit. Now, it does not have any recording limit in 4K 30fps mode or even in open-gate recording as long as your memory card isn’t full or the camera doesn’t face any kind of overheating issues.
But again, practically, the overheating performance of this camera is very good, and users are quite happy with the usage of this camera. Just keep in mind the camera is using the first generation of hybrid autofocus similar to what was used with the Panasonic S5, S5II, and S5IIX, so autofocus tracking is not on par with Canon and Sony cameras.
In the latest firmware update, version 1.3, they have again tried to optimize the overall operational speed of the camera. Additionally, they fixed a problem where when connecting to a Wi-Fi network, the password was always required. Now, it has become a one-time entry, so overall connectivity performance has been improved along with the operational speed of the camera.
Dlownload the latest Update from here
Details of the update
- Feature changes due to security enhancements
– When directly connecting the camera and smartphone via Wi-Fi, the connection has been changed to always require password authentication. (The [Wi-Fi Password] menu has been removed.)
– The [TKIP] encryption method is no longer supported when connecting to Wi-Fi via an access point.
– The [No Encryption] option in network authentication is no longer supported when connecting to Wi-Fi via an access point.
– The image transfer feature to PC via Wi-Fi has been removed. (Only European/Ukrainian models)
- Other improvements
– The startup speed when powering on has been improved.
– The operational stability has been improved.

According to recent rumours, Fuji’s next announcement is the Fuji X-E5, which could be in the summer of 2025.
Fuji X-E5 Specifications
The Fuji X-E5 is said to feature the same 40-megapixel X-Trans 5 sensor that we have seen in most of the Fuji cameras nowadays, as well as X-Processor 5. This is the standard update to the existing X-E4 camera.
 Fujifilm Fujica Half 35mm film camera Upcoming Half-Frame Camera with a 1-Inch Sensor
Friends, this is not all for 2025. We will also have a half-frame camera featuring a 1-inch sensor. The exact purpose of this half-frame camera is still unknown. We will shed more light on it once we get some solid details related to the camera and its core specifications. But right now, what we know is that it’s coming in 2025 with a 1-inch sensor—that’s all we know.
Wrap-Up of 2025 Announcements
So now, that wraps up the 2025 announcements, and now we will move forward and talk about the possibilities of 2026.

Recent GFX Camera Announcements
Recently, we witnessed the announcement of the GFX 100 RF camera as well as GFX Eterna, the medium-format cinema camera. So now, Fuji has introduced both a compact camera with a 28mm F4 fixed lens for photographers and a cinema camera. Both of them use the 102-megapixel medium-format sensor.
No Further 102MP GFX Announcements for 2026
That means there will be a pause in further GFX series announcements for 7 to 8 months. So, for next year, we are certain that no further 102-megapixel medium-format camera is coming.
Before We Move Forward to 2026, let understand the development and announcement pattern of X-Trans CMOS sensors
If we look at historical trends, Fuji uses flagship models to introduce new new sensor generations, like the X-H or X-Pro series, such as X-Trans V with X-H2S and X-H2. Thus, it’s plausible that X-Trans VI could appear in a new X-Pro 6 or X-H3 or X-T6, expected in early 2026

X-H2 |
| X-Trans VI |
Predicted: Late 2025 – Early 2026 |
Fuji will use Flasghip models like X-Pro6, X-T6 or X-H3 |
HS for speed and HR for resolution
Research suggests that Fujifilm’s X-Trans VI sensor is likely to arrive in late 2025 to early 2026, based on historical intervals of 2.5 to 3 years between generations and the introduction of X-Trans V in 2022
Big QUestion is Which Flagship Model will be selected
First of all, we are expecting an update of the Fuji X-Pro series camera in the first or second quarter of 2026. As we have seen in the recent interview, the general manager has said, “Of course, we can put the X-Processor 5 and the new X-Trans sensor in an X-Pro3 and call it X-Pro4, but that’s boring,” Igarashi says.
That clearly indicates they are either planning a brand new sensor for the new X-Pro series. Since it’s a flagship series, it may introduce a new X-Trans 6 sensor or X-Processor 6 in the upcoming X-Pro 6 camera.
And if this happens, then Fuji will allow the Fuji X-Pro 6 camera to gain as much market share as possible, and in that time span, they will not announce another camera with the same sensor in a lower price range (peak sales period of a camera is generally considered for 6 to 7 months).
So, if Fuji X-Pro 6 arrives with a new X-Trans VI sensor then for sure Fuji X-T6 scheduled announcement plan will get delayed.
Scheduled Announcement Pattern – Fuji X-T6 Should Arrive in 2026, but…
The Fuji X-T5 camera was announced in November 2022. Based on the online pattern of the X-T series camera, which has been quite consistent for the past 6 to 7 years, the next X-T series camera, the Fuji X-T6, will be announced in late 2025 or early 2026.
But again, if the Fuji X-Pro 6 camera arrives with a brand new sensor, then Fuji may delay the update of their X-T6 camera until late 2026 or maybe early 2027 to protect the sales of the X-Pro 6.

The Fujifilm GFX 100 RF is a newly announced medium-format camera. It features a 102-megapixel medium-format sensor and a fixed lens of 28mm F4, which is equivalent to a 35mm lens—maybe a 35mm F5.6 lens when used in a full-frame camera. Compared to other medium-format cameras in the market, it has a rangefinder design and a compact body.
The camera was announced on March 20, 2025, with a price tag of $4,899. Shipping will start on April 24, 2025, and it will be available in black and silver. We have already covered the Fujifilm GFX 100 RF Press Release here.

Rangefinder-Style Body & Unique Features
The rangefinder-style body also includes an offset electronic viewfinder and the most attractive thing in the body design is the new aspect ratio dial with 9 options that include 4:3, 2:2, and even 16:9. This allows you to compose your images in a very different way, making landscape and architectural photography more intuitive.
This aspect ratio dial will give you a new dimension to capture and preserve your compositions. You can check our best aspect ratio guide to understand how different ratios impact composition.
A Compact Medium Format Camera for Professionals
The camera was announced in a very unique niche that blends traditional medium format photography with a compact body. Some photographers who strive for high image quality but don’t want to carry the traditional bulky GFX models with interchangeable lenses will find this specific design inspiring.

Let’s talk about the Nikon ZV camera. It’s a rumored camera that features the goodness of all the video core specs that we have already seen in the Nikon Z6 Mark 3, but it’s actually an extension of Nikon’s new videography cinema mirrorless line.
Nikon ZV / Z6V Rumor
As per the recent set of rumors we have from the rumor mill, Nikon is currently working on a video-oriented Z6 Mark 3 camera, which uses the same 24.5-megapixel sensor as now, and it has a body that looks very, very similar to the Sony FX3 camera. You can relate to that, or you can also relate to the Nikon Z30, which does not have an electronic viewfinder inside it. So, you can just imagine a full-frame variant of the Nikon Z30 using the Z6 III sensor.
Possible Naming and Branding
The name of the camera is actually not known yet, but we are calling it Nikon ZV. It may also be called Nikon Z6V at the time of announcement. The rumor mill is suggesting that Nikon may start its video-focused branding with the ZV name.
Nikon Z6 III Key Features
The Nikon Z6 III camera was launched in 2024, and the camera features a 24.5-megapixel stacked sensor, which offers approximately 3.5x faster readout speed compared to its predecessor. Due to that, and with the pairing of the Expeed 7 image processor, the camera is able to capture 6K 60 FPS RAW videos, and it can save internally at the same time. You can also record 4K 120 FPS with slight crop and Full HD videos per second, making it a perfect choice. At the same time, the upcoming ZV camera will have all the possible set of core specifications that we have already witnessed in this camera by extending it further.
Nikon ZV / Z6V Specification (Expected)
Core Imaging and Processing
- 24.5MP Partially-Stacked CMOS Sensor
- EXPEED 7 Image Processor
- Up to 20 fps Raw, 60 fps JPEG Shooting

Nikon’s Acquisition of RED and Its Impact
Nikon’s acquisition of RED was done in 2024. Now, we also have Nikon Z-mount-based RED cinema cameras—the RED Raptor and the RED Komodo. Nikon engineers are now working in power with the RED team to ensure the future of RED cameras, as well as integrating the best cinematography features possible for the new-age mirrorless camera, which is directly coming from the RED core development program.
RED Technology Integration in Nikon ZV
So, the upcoming camera will have some RED tech inside, possible enhancements from RED could include:
- Deeper integration of RED’s color science for nuanced color reproduction.
- Support for professional formats like Redcode RAW.
- Enhanced connectivity, such as XLR inputs and SDI outputs.
- Robust build quality for harsh shooting conditions.
- Improved thermal management for extended recording.
These enhancements aim to align the camera with RED’s cinema-grade capabilities
Expected Release Timeline
The camera is expected to arrive sometime in Q3 or Q4 of 2025, and if we get any updates related to the same, we will be posting them here at TheNewCamera.com.

According to the latest rumors, Panasonic is gearing up for a major product camera announcement in April 2025. The information comes from a reliable SAR YT channel. It is expected to be a direct competitor of the Sony FX3 camera, featuring the same compact body style without an electronic viewfinder. The news is not limited to this camera—based on past registrations done by Panasonic, three more cameras are expected to arrive from Panasonic in the next few months.
Confirmed Information: What We Know So Far
- Panasonic’s next camera is coming in April 2025.
- The upcoming camera is a full-frame L-mount camera designed specifically for videographers and professional cinematographers.
- It will not include an electronic viewfinder. The design is plain and simple, similar to the Sony FX3 camera, but Panasonic also has a box-style cinema camera. I doubt whether they are preparing for their next box-style camera announcement.
Let’s Talk About Some Unconfirmed Information
- The sensor is the same as the one seen in the Nikon Z6 Mark III camera—a partially stacked 24-megapixel CMOS sensor.
- The source also mentioned that instead of a 26MP partially stacked sensor, it can also use a Sony-manufactured full-frame type CMOS sensor of 24MP resolution, providing faster readout speed to minimize rolling shutter issues.
The sensor details are unconfirmed at this moment; however, we will update this portion as soon as we get the latest information related to the same.

It’s Not a Panasonic S1H II Camera
It has been very clearly mentioned that the upcoming camera is not a Panasonic S1H Mark II camera. Yes, it is coming, and it is expected to arrive later this year, but the April announcement is not the S1H.
It has been explicitly mentioned that three new Panasonic cameras are coming, and they are expected to arrive soon. Some of them may even appear before summer. Just like the next camera announcement in April, based on industry insights, between April and July 2025, we will have one more fixed-lens compact camera from Panasonic. Although the exact name remains unclear, it may be a true successor to the Panasonic LX100 Mark II camera.
Now, due to a huge surge in demand, the Panasonic S1R Mark II camera, which has been announced recently, is facing shipping delays. However, even in this situation, Panasonic is ready to announce new products one after another without any delay.
