Panasonic LX200 camera name mentioned again in an interview at Digital Photography review website. they have clearly hinted that Panasonic LX200 will going to satisfy the Expectations of its consumers.
take a look at the major points of the interview,
– Why the GH5 has no IBIS: “Professional shooters will prefer a multi-aspect sensor versus IBIS” – Panasonic doesn’t use phase detection pixels on sensor “because With phase detection AF, picture quality can be damaged” – About a possible LX100 successor: “At this point, we can’t say when, but it is something that people are expecting.”
This is not the first time, Panasonic LX200 name was also surfaced during an interview with Jordan, just take a look.
As we all know that Now Panasonic LX100 was announced on September 15, 2014. The camera is approx 4 year old and waiting for for an desperate update. Take a look what we are expecting from the next Panasonic LX200 camera.

We are expecting the announcement of Panasonic LX200 camera this year during Photokina event. We will being more update you as we get more information about it.
A new patent surfaced over the web that shows Panasonic working on advance versions of Dual IS system that will upscale the Panasonic existing Dual IS system to next level. Panasonic GX8 was the first camera to introduce Dual IS inside the camera and after that we have seen many Panasonic cameras with Dual IS mechanisms.
Patent Details (Trnaslated)
An imaging apparatus includes a camera body and an interchangeable lens. The camera body includes: an image sensor; an image sensor driver configured to drive the image sensor in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis; a sensor configured to measure a position of the plane; a shake detector configured to detect a camera body shake; and a first image stabilizer configured to correct the detected shake by driving the image sensor driver. The interchangeable lens includes: an image stabilization lens configured to adjust an optical path to correct a shake; an image stabilization lens driver configured to drive the image stabilization lens in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis; and a second image stabilizer configured to correct a shake, based on a position measured by the sensor of the camera body, by driving the image stabilization lens driver.
We are comparing the Fuji X-H1 camera with Panasonic GH5. Let me tell you that Fuji X series camera are prefect still shooting machines but by announcing the Fuji X-H1 camera they have showed their presence as a Cinematic camera makers. Now, with Sony, Panasonic we can count Fuji name also as best cinematic mirrorless camera makers of 2018. Not only that they somehow stopped the migration of Fuji users to Panasonic or other brands looking for a perfect consumer level Mirrorless camera.
So, Fuji X-H1 camera is win win for Fuji users as well as Fuji also.

If you look at the specs then you can clearly see that Fuji features bigger X-Trans sensor compared to the Panasonic GH5 camera. The Fuji X-H1 ISO range is also 1 stop more than Panasonic GH5.
For still shooting purpose we recommend Fuji X-H1 camera
Fuji Hybrid AF vs Panasonic contrast based DFD AF
As we all know that Fuji X-Trans Hybrid Sensors are very fast we have no doubt that Fuji will outperform Panasonic GH5 in Still and Video AF test.
Fast Continuous shooting speed: Fuji X-H1 exhibit faster continuous shooting speed compared to the Panasonic GH5 camera.
Panasonic GH5S features advance Video modes than of Fuji X-H1
The Panasonic GH5 camera is capable to record 4K at 60Fps and Full HD at 120fps, X-H1 doesn’t have high bit rates option as of Panasonic GH5 camera. At the Panasonic GH5 camera offers bigger buffer compared to X-H1 camera and hence you get unlimited recording time.

Fuji X-H1 vs Panasonic GH5, Which camera Should you buy ?
Panasonic GH5 is a ultimate consumer level camera for video recording purpose, but if you are a X-shooter and looking for a decent cinematic camera then you have a option Fuji X-H1. Also if you are look for best of both the world, a perfect Still as well as Video camera then go with Fuji X-H1.
We are talking about a technological breakthrough done by Panasonic. According to DCWATCH (Highly reputed Japanese website) Panasonic successfully developed a 36MP 4/3 Sensor able to record 8K video. Initially they may use this sensor for Panasonic GH5R? (just a thought) by limiting it to 4K or 6K video mode.
Now 2 years from now Panasonic representative told yes they are working to make a consumer camera available on 2020 Olympics with 8K video capability.
This year are expecting to see Panasonic GH6 camera with 6K capability coming on September 2018 [Pho0tokina event]. And after a year gap [2019] we will sure see a Panasonic GH8 K camera from Panasonic.
So, this [translated] press release is just another another step,

Panasonic Corporation develops a CMOS image sensor design technology capable of global shutter imaging with high saturation and sensitivity modulation function of 450 thousand electrons, reading at a high frame rate of 60 fps with a high resolution of 36 million pixels that realizes 8 K image quality We announced.
In this technology, the function of converting light into an electric signal is an organic thin film, and the function of storing and reading signal charges is completely and independently performed in the lower layer circuit section.
By utilizing the structural features of the organic CMOS image sensor and installing high-speed noise cancellation technology and technology to realize high saturation in the circuit part with high degree of freedom, it is possible to achieve 8 k high resolution which is usually a trade-off 60 fps read out, wide dynamic range by realizing high saturation characteristics, global shutter function for the first time in the industry simultaneously realized.
Panasonic finally announced ZS200 camera with 1 inch sensor. The name camera features a longer zoom lens compared to its predecessor (25-250mm equiv. zoom with a 24-360mm).

Panasonic GX9 camera improved their shutter mechanism and reduces the shutter shake about 90%. The camera also incorporates and newly developed viewfinder with 2.7 million dot.
One of the most interesting thing, that the Panasonic GX9 drops out the fully articulated display screen and now you get a tilting screen with a limited movement. Not only that the weather sealing of the GX series is also lifted up, and now the Panasonic GX9 camera doesn’t have a weather sealing.
The camera features In-body 5-axis stabilization combines with dual-axis optical stabilization, which combats camera shake upto 4 stops . Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are available for quick image sharing.
