Panasonic Lumix - only mirrorless cameras in development (together with Leica)

[15:10 Mon,8.August 2022   by blip]    

According to a report from Nikkei, Panasonic is partially withdrawing from the camera business - it no longer wants to develop cameras that can be replaced by a smartphone, Panasonic is quoted there. While existing models will continue to be produced, the focus will only be on mirrorless system cameras for ambitious and professional users in the future.

One such camera is currently being developed together with Leica and is expected to appear in the foreseeable future - in May, the two companies announced a closer cooperation that goes beyond their previous partnership, which has existed for about 20 years. Under the new L² brand (Leica x Lumix = L squared), key technology components and platforms are to be jointly developed and then used by both companies in their respective cameras.



A merger of the two brands does not seem imminent, but it remains to be seen how the Lumix camera lines will actually develop within the framework of this cooperation, and not least which ones. The only thing that is certain is that there will no longer be any small compact cameras from Panasonic, which nobody should have expected anyway. This camera category has been almost completely swallowed up by smartphone cameras.

It is more exciting to ask which cameras cannot (yet) be replaced by a smartphone according to Panasonic&s definition and what will happen with the MFT camera division. A successor to the GH6 would probably require that Panasonic continues to develop cameras independently, and that the desired synergy effects with Leica mainly come into play with full-frame cameras and lenses.
