Panasonic has officially confirmed that it will be announcing the new full-frame mirrorless LUMIX S5 camera through an online launch event on September 2nd.

The Nikkei Asian Review's data gathering arm has published 2019 worldwide market share numbers on 74 different industries, including digital cameras. The new data point shows how each of the big three is faring in the first full year after Canon and Nikon released their full-frame mirrorless systems.

Sony isn't the only company with a new entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera in the pipeline. According to recent reports, Panasonic is going to release its own "Lumix S5" camera that's being described as a "smaller version" of the Panasonic S1.

Panasonic has announced the LUMIX G100, a new compact mirrorless camera that's designed for vlogging and creative video content.

First came Canon, then Fuji, and now Panasonic has released (or in this case, updated) a piece of free software that lets you use your professional camera as a webcam, even if you don't own a capture card like the Elgato Camlink.

Panasonic has just unveiled a versatile new zoom lens for the L-mount system. The Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 is a standard zoom lens for full-frame cameras that combines the variable aperture found in more affordable glass with some professional-grade features like weather sealing and specialized lens elements.

We've seen lots of rumors swirling around new Canon and Sony cameras lately, but not much about any other brand. That is, until someone posted a "leaked" spec list for the upcoming Panasonic GH6 on Facebook.

In a recent interview with Photorend, the Director of Imaging at Panasonic, Yosuke Yamane, revealed some of the company's plans moving forward. Highlights include a teaser for a more affordable L-mount camera, reiterating the brand's commitment to Micro 4/3, and much more.

Though it might seem less popular than other systems (probably due to marketing), the L Mount Alliance is producing some of the best full-frame lenses currently available. In this case, Panasonic Lumix worked in tandem with their buddies at Leica to release their second 70-200mm lens for full-frame systems: the Panasonic Lumix S Pro 70-200mm f/2.8 OIS.

Panasonic recently partnered up with India's Dentsu Aegis Network to create something really cool. Following in the footsteps of those glasses that "reverse" certain types of colorblindness, the company created a Panasonic G90 with a specially designed viewfinder lens that lets colorblind photographers see color.

In early November, Panasonic announced that a 70-200mm f/2.8 for the L-mount was coming soon. The lens represents, which comes in at a hefty $2,597.99, is a major step closer to completing the holy-trinity lineup for their S series cameras.

In early November, Panasonic announced that they would be releasing a 16-35mm f/4. Ever since Panasonic released the S1 and S1R, people have been asking about a wide angle lens, especially with the availability of a high-res mode in both cameras (96MP in the S1, 187MP in the S1R) making them a great camera for landscape shooters.

Photokina is keen to remind you that (1) it is still the industry's "leading trade fair," and (2) trade fairs are still relevant, even if Nikon, Leica, and Olympus dropped out of Photokina 2020. In a press release published last night, the show quotes Canon, Sony and Panasonic executives as they "confirmed their commitment" to the 2020 expo during conversations with Photokina organizers in Tokyo.

If you've bought into the L-Mount, Sigma just added two very compelling new primes to your list of lens options. The Sigma 40mm f/1.4 Art and 105mm f/1.4 Art 'bokeh master' are both dropping two weeks from today on December 20th, just in time for an end-of-year pick-me-up for your Sigma fp, Panasonic S1 or Leica SL2.

After a Nikkei report (and, later, an official press release) revealed that Panasonic would officially be selling off its semiconductor business, many people wondered what would happen to the joint venture with TowerJazz that constituted Panasonic's image sensor business. Now we know.

Panasonic recently released a major firmware update that adds Animal Detect autofocus to the Lumix G9. As a bird and wildlife photographer, the new feature had me really excited, but how well does it actually work? I took it out into the field to find out.

Panasonic has added two much-anticipated lenses to its "S Pro" lineup of L-Mount lenses for the full-frame mirrorless Lumix S1, S1R and S1H cameras: The Lumix S Pro 70-200mm f/2.8 O.I.S. and the Lumix S Pro 16-35mm f/4.

Yesterday, Sony quietly released the specs for a new 47MP Micro Four Thirds image sensor that it claims is for "Surveillance, FA cameras and Industrial cameras." But the image sensor—which can record 10-bit 8K/30p video with a with a 17:9 crop—might actually show up in the successor to the Panasonic GH5S.

We really didn’t know what to expect going into this. Panasonic hasn’t even made an APS-C body before, never mind a full-frame flagship mirrorless camera. Though, it seems they realized the S1 series needed to make a splash if its release was going to trail behind Canon and Nikon’s first foray into professional-grade mirrorless cameras, because the S1R is massive.

A few days ago, Panasonic released their new LUMIX S1H. The S1H has gone to town with new features designed to match most filmmakers needs. The features that filmmakers have grown to love in the GH series are now available and improved upon in the full-frame S-Series.

In addition to officially launching the video-centric full-frame Lumix S1H, Panasonic also revealed two new lenses today: The Lumix S PRO 24-70mm f/2.8 for the L-Mount, and a refreshed Leica DG Summilux 25mm f/1.4 II ASPH lens for Micro Four Thirds shooters.

I was excited when Canon and Nikon finally stepped into the mirrorless game seriously more seriously, releasing their full-frame mirrorless cameras in 2018. Nikon launched their Z6 and Z7 with the new Z-Mount, while Canon released the EOS-R with a new RF-Mount.

If you’re wondering why someone who loves Sigma cameras and gets called the ‘Foveon Wizard’ by his peers is writing about the Panasonic Lumix S1R, I need to take you back to 2007.

Overshadowed slightly by the release of the pocket-sized Sigma fp full-frame mirrorless camera, last night, Sigma also announced three lenses we knew were coming. The full-frame Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8, 35mm f/1.2, and 45mm f/2.8 DG DN lenses designed for the L-mount and Sony E-mount.

Panasonic has announced an upcoming "Upgrade Firmware Key DMW-SFU2" for the LUMIX S1 full-frame mirrorless camera that will add a number of advanced video features that will make the S1 more suitable for pro-level filmmaking.

Panasonic has announced the new Lumix G95, a rugged hybrid mirrorless camera that aims to offer the best of both worlds when it comes to shooting photos and video.

Alongside its new S1R and S1 full-frame mirrorless cameras, Panasonic today also announced the first three full-frame lenses for the new S Series: the 50mm f/1.4, 70-200mm f/4 OIS, and 24-105mm f/4 Macro OIS.

Panasonic has announced the development of the Leica DG 10-25mm f/1.7 for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It's the world's first wide-angle zoom lens with a constant f/1.7 aperture.

Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma have just announced the new L-Mount Alliance, a new collaborative effort based around the Leica L-Mount. The three companies will develop new L-mount full-frame and APS-C mirrorless cameras and lenses.

Panasonic has announced the new Panasonic Lumix LX100 II, a new high-end compact camera (the seventh in the LX series) that succeeds the 12.8MP LX100 with a 17-megapixel Four Thirds sensor.
