Panasonic is scheduled to be announce Panasonic 100mm F2.8 macro lens on January 8th. Moreover, the details of Panasonic S1 II/ S1 IIx is now leaked online. Maybe, this is the rumor:
S1ii & S1iix
– 34mp stacked oversampled 7k with very low rolling shutter
– ND filters with slim sealed magnesium body, compared to the big c70
– Fan no overheating in direct sunlight 50 Celsius.
– 6k 120, 4k 120 no crop.
– Better ibis no wooble
– Much better autofocus with ai chip similar to Sony.
– Just 1000 dollars more compared to s5iix very aggressive pricing, so around 3000 dollars.
– Improved battery life.
– improved dynamic range for video and photo.
– No AA filter
– very strong low light, improved low light with a lot of MP.
It seems this is a rumor with little credibility, so it’s probably best to take it with a grain of salt. Although there are some question marks regarding the video specs and built-in ND filter in the above list, it would not be strange to see a 34-megapixel sensor, improved IBIS, and an AI chip installed.
