We also have rumors related to a Panasonic entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera with an L-mount.

The new camera focuses on video capabilities, without a viewfinder, with a flip-out rear screen, making it more compact and affordable. As for the sensor, there are speculations that it might be the same as the Lumix S5 II, but this model is not the previously rumored full-frame camera with a fixed lens design
Interestingly, two Cameras from Pansonic are coming Soon. it’s hard to believe that Panasonic has two new cameras with FF sensors coming soon, yes we do have information in the past that the compact camera will have an FF sensor but one more Entry Level Mirrorless is also coming, this particular news makes me very excited
According to the latest rumors surfaced over the web, Panasonic LUMIX’s will soon announce a new fullframe camera with a fixed 40mm F2 lens (Leica Lens). Leica will announce the same camera as Leica DLUX 8, later on.
What other Media Sources report , Panasonic’s new entry-level full-frame camera is confirmed to be released in May. This camera focuses on video functionality, does not have an electronic viewfinder, is compact and portable, has a flip screen, and is priced affordably. It is not the previously rumored fixed-lens full-frame camera.
Canon R5 Mark II and Fuj X-T50 Next announcement
For those who are not interested in Panasonic, you can wait for Canon R52 on the 15th, XT50 and GFX100S II on the 16th. The specific release date for Sony ZVE10 II is yet to be determined. Nikon D850 being discontinued overseas means it is out of production.
Panasonic registered two new cameras supporting 5.1/2.4G wireless on Women’s Day 2024. We are expecting one of the models Panasonic S1 Mark II, as you know we have been waiting for Panasonic S1 Mark II for a long time.
The other registered camera is expected to be a Panasonic S1R Mark II, with a higher resolution sensor. Lets hope for the best.

One of them is also considered to be Panasonic GH7
Recently announced Panasonic 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO OIS [B&H Store] does not have outstanding optical performance. Take a look at what Petapixel said about this lens
The new Panasonic 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Macro OISsuper zoom is clearly designed to be a jack-of-all-trades that doesn’t really excel in any optical categories. It’s also fairly slow, which limits its usefulness in darker situations.

Take a look at the Major Points of the Review
Weighing only 413g, this lens is extremely lightweight, yet it maintains an easy-to-handle 67mm filter diameter. The downside of its compact size is that the aperture value is relatively dark at F4-7.1, which can pose a problem when shooting in low-light conditions.
The lens barrel is small, resulting in simple controls that are well-crafted. The zoom ring has a suitable weight, preventing the lens from extending when you carry it around.
The image stabilization is highly effective, allowing handheld shooting at 200mm even with a slow shutter speed. The balance of the lens is also commendable.
The autofocus (AF) performs well, swiftly focusing from long to short distances.
There is a ghosting issue when shooting against the light, with colored speckled ghosts appearing at any aperture value. While this effect might look interesting for video, it’s quite noticeable and often undesirable for most still shots.
The lens flares are dim and lack drama. Overall, this lens does not perform well when shooting into the sun, so it’s advisable to avoid shooting directly into the sun or other bright light sources if possible.
The close-up performance is excellent, allowing 1:2 shooting at the wide-angle end. However, the working distance at this point is so short that you could almost touch the subject. If you prefer to maintain a working distance, 200mm provides sufficient magnification for close-up photography.
The resolution is decent, with good center detail at 28mm. However, it improves significantly if you stop down, so it’s recommended to do so whenever possible. The 200mm end yields similar results to the 28mm, but the edges are even softer. Due to strong distortion correction, the corners are soft regardless of the aperture.
Despite being a dark lens, it can blur the background at close range. There is some vignetting in the bokeh, but there is no onion ring blur. However, there is pronounced bubble bokeh, which makes the background blur quite busy.
Focus breathing is almost non-existent at 200mm, and very slight at 28mm.
The 28-200mm F4-7.1 is designed as an all-purpose zoom and does not excel in any particular category. Also, due to the large F value, there are limitations when using it in low-light conditions. However, it meets its portability and convenience goals, making it very appealing. It’s also a handy video lens and a macro lens, and these two features make it a sensible choice for those seeking a versatile lens for the L mount. In this respect, I believe this lens is useful despite its shortcomings.
Should you buy this lens? Perhaps. The 28-200mm F4-7.1 may be a good option if you prioritize convenience over performance.
