Panasonic may release a preview of a new camera next week?

According to www.l-rumors.com, Panasonic will release a new Lumix camera in January next year. Panasonic has registered serial numbers for their new cameras in Asia, so we will get news about the new cameras soon anyway.

According to the speculation of the source, the new Lumix camera may be a TZ (telephoto zoom) compact camera, or it may be a Lumix S series camera. Some netizens also speculate that it is S1R II, accompanied by at least one new L mount lens.

The Lumix S1R is the camera with the highest megapixel among Panasonic's S-series mirrorless cameras. This will be a very important product in the S-series. It is unprecedented to update such an important product on Christmas Eve, so it is unlikely that Panasonic will announce the S1R II next week.

For the rumored new Panasonic TZ compact camera, the most concerned thing is its frame size. Will it be an MFT camera, like the D-Lux 8 co-developed by Panasonic and Leica?

In any case, there will be an answer next week.
