Panasonic S1H Successor Model News: New sensor! - Published: 2025-02-28 - Modified: 2025-02-28 - URL: https://lensclear.net/guess-what-lumix-s1h-successor-model-news-new-sensor/ - Categories: L-Rumors - Tags: Camera, Lumix, Panasonic, S1H Recently, there has been a new development regarding the successor to the Panasonic S1H. In an interview with Matt Frazer at CineD, Matt Frazer revealed that the Panasonic S1H will “eventually” have a successor. Previously, the release of the Panasonic S1RII sparked a lot of attention in the industry. Regarding the long time between the release of the S1RII, Matt Frazer said that Panasonic was trying to find the right sensor for the target model. Choosing the right sensor is crucial for camera performance improvement, which is related to image quality, shooting speed, high sensitivity performance and other aspects. From the S1RII release strategy, Panasonic may also be in the S1H successor model development, spend time to select the appropriate sensor, to ensure that the performance of the new camera can meet market demand. There's still no word on when the successor to the S1H will be released, with Matt Frazer only stating that there will be a replacement “eventually”. However, the article also mentions that another Lumix camera will be released in April, and hints that more information about this camera may be revealed later. This could mean that the April release is somehow related to the S1H successor, possibly setting the stage for the S1H successor to be released. --- ### Panasonic S1RII Released!

The Panasonic LUMIX DC-S1RII comes with a new back-illuminated sensor (IMX366) that is not stacked and reads at speeds close to that of the 24-megapixel model (IMX410), which means that the bottom of this one isn’t really that fast.

The first native ISO comes to 80 in standard color mode. In terms of focusing performance, the camera is equipped with second-generation image-plane phase-difference AF, as well as significantly improved subject recognition and tracking algorithms, which can recognize a wide range of subjects, including people, animals, vehicles, and more. However, there is still room for improvement in its focusing system, with some scenes failing to focus, and its final performance will need to be further optimized with subsequent firmware updates. Of course there is no mention of an AI chip anywhere, naturally. The new “Cinelike A2” color mode is suitable for both photo and video shooting, and sits between the “D2” and “V2” profiles, with a softer style to meet the The new “Cinelike A2”... --- ### Panasonic Announces New LUMIX S1RII Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera | Panasonic North America – United States > On February 25, 2025, Panasonic announced the latest high-definition model of the new the LUMIX S1RII. - Published: 2025-02-26 - Modified: 2025-02-26 - URL: https://lensclear.net/panasonic-announces-lumix-s1rii-full-frame-camera/ - Categories: News - Tags: Lumix, Panasonic, S1R North American Panasonic has a press release for the “LUMIX S1RII” posted.

Leo Liang here, your friendly local photographer, diving headfirst into the thick of camera and lens action. I'm writing today to answer a question that's been floating around the photography world: Sigma BF vs Sigma fp. Both from Sigma, both compact, but they each have different uses and styles of shooting. Loving gear and getting the most out of it, I'm excited to break down these two intriguing cameras for you. Sigma's Compact Camera Series: What Makes BF and fp Different? Sigma has developed a unique niche in the camera world, known for its creative spirit and commitment to image quality. The Sigma fp has been a revolution since its release, touted as the world's smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera. It's incredibly versatile, with photographers and videographers who value portability being its greatest admirers. Its open platform and modular nature have made it a favorite among specialized applications and creative setups. Now, say hello to the Sigma BF. With news still breaking (as of late February 2025), early reports suggest Sigma is continuing to push the boundaries with full-frame compactness. Even the "BF" itself is intriguing, with a nod towards a "Beyond Full-frame" concept, or perhaps even "Bayer Filter" innovation – although Sigma has yet to make any official announcements. All we understand is that Sigma is building hype over a camera which maintains the fp's little DNA but potentially offers additional features and capabilities. For shooters like us who are always on the go... --- ### Sigma BF: Is This the Minimalist Full-Frame Camera We've Been Waiting For? - A Photographer's Perspective - Published: 2025-02-24 - Modified: 2025-02-24 - URL: https://lensclear.net/sigma-bf-is-this-the-minimalist-full-frame-camera/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: BF, Camera, Sigma https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=sWnECGNfKek Hey everyone, Leo Liang here! As a photographer, I'm always on the lookout for the next piece of gear Hi everyone, Leo Liang here! As a photographer, I am constantly on the hunt for the next piece of gear that has the potential to spark creativity and simplify the process. And oh man, all the buzz over the Sigma BF camera has been hard to ignore. Being a gear head myself, and always looking to provide you with the most helpful and engaging photography content here at LensClear, I had to get to the bottom of what this new camera is all about. So, is the Sigma BF hype, or is there something genuinely new in the world of full-frame photography? Let's dive in together. What Makes the Sigma BF Different? - First Impressions The first impression you would have when you lay eyes on the Sigma BF for the first time is the term "minimalist. " Sigma has never been afraid of clean design, but the BF takes it to a new level. It is extremely compact and stripped down, with the focus on the absolute essentials of photography. Bells and whistles are disregarded; this camera seems to be designed for photographers who want to get back to the fundamentals of image-making. According to Sigma's website, the Sigma BF has a full-frame sensor. That's huge news because full-frame sensors are celebrated for their excellent image quality, especially in low light, and their ability to create beautiful background blur –... --- ### Panasonic S1R2 Positioning Conjecture: Is Panasonic Aiming for the Wrong Target? - Published: 2025-02-24 - Modified: 2025-02-24 - URL: https://lensclear.net/s1r2-positioning-is-aiming-for-the-wrong-target/ - Categories: L-Rumors - Tags: Camera, Lumix, Panasonic, S1R Hey photography enthusiasts, Leo Liang here, your friendly local photographer from LensClear. net.

And of course, I'm always happy to talk about new gear! Today, I'm going to get into something that's been brewing in the photography world – the upcoming release of the Panasonic S1R2. Having been an early user and supporter of Panasonic's innovative spirit, I've been eagerly anticipating its release. However, recent speculation and discussion surrounding its positioning made me wonder if Panasonic is truly acing it or if they're overestimating the market landscape. Let's examine this. Is Panasonic S1R2 Shooting at the Wrong Market? The buzz surrounding the Panasonic S1R2 is real. Speculation is high, and anticipation is high for its launch this month. But amidst all the buzz, there is a more critical question: Is Panasonic putting the S1R2 in the right place? Rumors suggest that Panasonic is eyeing the Sony a7R V as its primary competitor. On paper, yes, these cameras are fighting for the same space, but I believe comparing them side by side shows a possible Panasonic misstep. In my view, direct confrontation with the Sony a7R V might not be the wisest approach for Panasonic. The a7R V is indeed a strong contender,... --- ### HOT!!! Lumix S1rII images and specs leaked! - Published: 2025-02-24 - Modified: 2025-02-24 - URL: https://lensclear.net/hot-lumix-s1rii-images-and-specs-leaked/ - Categories: L-Rumors - Tags: Camera, L-Rumors, Lumix, Panasonic, S1R Panasonic introduces the Lumix S1RII, a full-frame mirrorless camera for professional photographers and videographers. The camera has a newly developed 44. 3 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and a powerful L2 processor, which together enable a high level of detail and a wide dynamic range of up to 14 f-stops. The native ISO range extends from ISO 80 to 51,200 and can be extended to ISO 40 to 102,400. Improved autofocus and fast continuous shooting function The phase-hybrid autofocus of the Lumix S1RII utilizes 779 focusing points and AI-supported subject recognition for people, animals, vehicles and other subjects. The camera can take continuous shots at up to 40 frames per second in electronic shutter mode – with continuous focus tracking (AF-C). A pre-burst mode saves images before the actual shutter release so that spontaneous moments are not missed. Functions such as white balance and ISO sensitivity can be accessed directly at the top of the housing via dedicated buttons. Optimized image stabilization and high-resolution photos The camera has internal 5-axis image stabilization on the image sensor (IBIS), which enables compensation of up to 8 f-stops. In combination with a compatible lens and Dual I. S. , up to 7 f-stops of stabilization are possible in the telephoto range. For high-resolution images, the Lumix S1RII offers a high-resolution mode that captures eight images with a slightly offset sensor position and composes them into a 177 megapixel file. This mode is available for both JPEG and RAW images and enables detailed results without a tripod.  Lensclear Advanced video... --- ### Would you buy the Panasonic Lumix S1R II smaller, stronger and faster? - Published: 2025-02-24 - Modified: 2025-02-24 - URL: https://lensclear.net/would-you-buy-the-panasonic-lumix-s1r/ - Categories: L-Rumors - Tags: Camera, Lumix, Panasonic These two days about the Panasonic Lumix S1R II news more and more, the official also gave the 25th will have a new product release news, it is not difficult to guess, it is likely that this is the new machine, recently, about the machine's leaked photos also came out, the specifications parameters also came out, the content is organized to you: The new machine still focuses on high pixel quality models, but did not use a more “radical” 60-megapixel level sensor, using the same 40-megapixel level, but this time the sensor seems to be a new 44-megapixel, to ensure a good balance of speed and image quality, but also take into account the strengths of the family's own project - video.

It’s a high speed sensor that may or may not find its way into the future new Sony A7V. My gut still tells me that the A/V will retain the 33MP resolution... but I have a curious competitor rumor: Panasonic will announce a new S1rII next week that has a new 44MP sensor. I suspect it will be a variant of the new Sony IMX366 sensor, and the rumored specs are impressive (Source: L-rumors. com).

(2025 Review) - Published: 2025-02-17 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/lumix-fz80d-is-it-the-perfect-bridge-camera-for-you/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: FZ80D, Lumix, Panasonic https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=J0qah9qQccA Hello everyone, Leo Liang here! I'm a photographer who's an artist and a gearhead, so I'm always excited to test out cameras that offer a combination of performance and value. Today, let's talk about a camera that's perhaps a bit old but still interesting in 2025: the Panasonic Lumix FZ80D. Launched some time back, the Lumix FZ80D is not a new entrant. But in the ever-evolving world of photography, does it still have what it takes? Is it still a valid option for up-and-coming photographers or simply an easy-to-use all-in-one option? Having recently spent some quality time with it myself, I'm here to share my first-hand experience and true opinions. So let's begin! What Makes the Lumix FZ80D Stand Out Even Today? In a world where there are interchangeable lens cameras and groundbreaking mirrorless systems, the Lumix FZ80D stands out in a category of its own – the superzoom bridge camera. What does that mean? It's intended to be your do-it-all buddy, packing an incredibly versatile lens into one comparatively compact body. The FZ80D has a 60x optical zoom lens with an astonishing 20-1200mm (35mm equivalent) focal length. Take that in for a moment. From wide-angle landscape to telephoto extreme of distant wildlife, this camera is looking to do it all without the need for lens switching. For travel photographers, nature photographers, or anyone else who wants maximum versatility without the weight and expense of multiple lenses, this is a huge selling point. Along with the zoom, the FZ80D... --- ### Panasonic Lumix New Release: The Highly Anticipated Flagship Camera of 2025 - Published: 2025-02-13 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/panasonic-lumix-new-release-the-highly-anticipated-flagship-camera-of-2025/ - Categories: L-Rumors - Tags: Camera, Lumix, Panasonic, S1R Panasonic Lumix will release a new camera in April 2025, with rumors suggesting it will "shake up" the entire industry. According to 43R, multiple sources indicate that after releasing the second generation S1R, Panasonic Lumix will launch another new camera, possibly in April 2025, which could be the S1H2? This new camera model is worth watching and quite exciting. Panasonic Lumix appears to have put considerable effort into this new camera. Sources reveal that the new model could impact the industry, disrupt the market, and be highly competitive, potentially offering performance equal to or better than what's currently available in the market, making it very attractive. Moreover, this new camera is extremely important for Panasonic Lumix, and users of other brands will also be very interested. While the camera's name and specifications are unknown, it's not the Lumix S9, but rather a truly refined product that achieves a perfect balance between specifications and value for money, making it crucial for Panasonic Lumix. --- ### How Nice to Meet You, Panasonic Lumix G9M2 - Published: 2025-02-12 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/how-nice-to-meet-you-panasonic-lumix-g9m2/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: G9M2, Lumix, Panasonic https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=iGvdcQxGmhc As a staunch M43 supporter, I have been recommending Panasonic GH6 to others, and even said many times that it is the "small EOS R5" in the M43 system. But no matter how I praise GH6, I know its shortcomings well, that is autofocus. Now Panasonic G9M2 with phase focus is officially on the market. I have also used G9M2 for a long time. Today, let's talk about my views on this camera. Differences between G9M2 and GH6 Although both use 25 million pixel M43 sensors, the difference between G9M2 and GH6 is still quite large. The Panasonic G9M2 uses the body structure of S5M2, but there is no active cooling fan, which also leads to the fact that although G9M2 has 75 frames/second electronic shutter continuous shooting, it is only equipped with dual SD card slots. Fortunately, G9M2 has a pre-shooting function, even if it can't do long-term continuous shooting like the sports flagship body, it can also capture wonderful moments. Of course, considering that the OM-1 also has dual SD, I think this is also a kind of "tacit understanding". The GH6 has more function buttons, and the button layout is specially optimized for video shooting. For example, if I want to adjust the audio on the GH6, the GH6 has a special video and audio shortcut key, while the G9M2 needs to go into the menu to adjust. There are really many details like this, including the HDMI and USB interface holders, which are also only... --- ### Is Chris Niccolls testing the Panasonic Lumix S1RII? - Published: 2025-02-12 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/is-chris-niccolls-testing-the-panasonic-lumix-s1rii/ - Categories: L-Rumors - Tags: Lumix, Panasonic Chris Niccolls from PetaPixel posted this Instagram short.

More than a job for me, I just love sharing photography at LensClear - where anything from photography courses killer ones should be discussed all the way down to must-haves in your camera accessories cabinet to lens filters. Today, I talk about a camera that's mostly the stuff of legends, a workhorse which managed to shake up the industry at its release: the Panasonic Lumix GH4. It's now 2025, years from when it was initially launched. Some of you must be thinking, "Leo, why are you talking about a 2014 camera? Is that not some sort of ancient history in this fast-moving technological world? That is an extremely fair question, and it's exactly what we're about to dive into: Is the Panasonic GH4 relevant in 2025? Can it still achieve professional results? More importantly, is it worth considering picking one up even now? I've spent some serious time revisiting the GH4 as of late, really putting it through its paces in a variety of shooting scenarios to give a real, hands-on perspective. Ditch dry spec sheets for a minute; let's actually talk about this camera-for real usage, in today's world. Why Revisit the Panasonic Lumix GH4 Now? Does a Decade-Old Camera Still Matter?

Many friends see the word “dissolution” two words, it is easy to understand the meaning of “bankruptcy, closure” type of meaning, in fact, this is because some of the media in the handling of the news did not fully reach the meaning, good doggy learned a few years of Japanese, in carefully read the Japanese version of the news! After carefully reading the Japanese version of the news, the conclusion is: not “dissolution”, but “restructuring and reorganization”. This is equivalent to the Panasonic internal strategic adjustment, we do not need to worry! In fact, since February 4, Panasonic Holdings announced the group management reform policy at the annual accounts presentation meeting, in order to enable Panasonic to break through the scope of the lifestyle business, and create good synergies in the group. Immediately thereafter, Panasonic (China) responded, “In short, Panasonic Holdings is reorganizing, not dissolving, its single corporation ‘Panasonic Corporation’, which is responsible for providing household appliances, housing equipment, and goods and services for stores and offices. Specifically, in fiscal 2025, Panasonic will reorganize its subsidiaries into business corporations: the Fresh Air Conditioning Company and the Cold Chain Company are scheduled to be established as business corporations from the standpoint of seeking synergies between technology and sales.

It's said to have similar specs to the Leica SL3, but with improved video quality. Panasonic and Capture One are reportedly going to jointly issue a special press release at the S1R II launch event. This might indicate a closer collaboration between Capture One and Lumix, aiming to deliver the best RAW editing quality. A Panasonic Lumix L-mount full-frame camera is slated for release in April. Speculation suggests this is unlikely to be the S1HII... but it's still something very interesting! Currently, the exact new product remains unclear. It could be a successor to existing models, a fixed-lens full-frame camera, or even a Lumix S9 model equipped with an EVF. --- ### Panasonic Releases New Firmware for 6 Cameras and 4 Lenses - Published: 2025-02-01 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/panasonic-releases-new-firmware-for-cameras-lenses/ - Categories: News - Tags: Camera, GH7, Lumix, Lumix S5iix, Panasonic On January 23, 2025, Panasonic released new firmware for 6 cameras including S1R, S1, S5M2, S5M2X, GH7, G9M2, and 4 lenses including S-R1635, S-R24105, S-E70200, and S-R70200.

In keeping such delicate balance, as far as concern is there, the Panasonic Lumix GX85-called GX80 in some markets-is decidedly special. More than just a spec sheet, it's a key to unlocking creativity, and having had a chance to really explore what it's capable of both in-studio and on the go, I appreciate what some truly remarkable features allow you to do. Through LensClear, my photography tips and reviews platform, I'd like to offer you my perspective on it, garnered from months spent with this wonderful little technological wonder. So, let's get into the meat of it! Unboxing the Heart of Lumix GX85: Key Features and Performance Let's get into the nuts and bolts, because while numbers are just numbers, the combination creates something beautiful. The Lumix GX85 is a Micro Four Thirds camera, which right away translates into a blend of portability with a good balance in terms of image quality and versatility of lenses. Let's dive in: it has a 16-megapixel Digital Live MOS sensor without a low-pass filter, meaning images you get out of this camera are crisp, vibrant, and high-definition. I especially like how this camera handles the details-you'll absolutely notice that difference compared to many cameras in the similar price point range. What does it mean for you, in the real world, you wonder? Now, imagine that you are doing landscapes with loads of minute details; those are retained... --- ### Is the Panasonic Lumix G7 Still Worth it in 2025? A Hands-on Review - Published: 2025-01-25 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/is-the-g7-still-worth-it-in-2025-a-hands-on-review/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Camera, Lumix, Lumix G7, Panasonic https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=KnS7F6UFksc Hello, everybody, and welcome back. It's Leo from LensClear. Today, I want to talk about one camera that has been a workhorse for many photographers: the Panasonic Lumix G7. It's 2025, and with all the new tech flooding the market, one question remains: is the Lumix G7 still relevant? I've spent a considerable amount of time with it, and I'm going to share my honest, hands-on experience-give you a perspective that goes beyond the spec sheet. The Lumix G7 The Lumix G7 came out back in 2015 and was a huge game-changer within the world of mirrorless cameras. More than its spec, it became more about ease of access and performance. For the first time, it took 4K video into the consumer price and gave an adequate marriage with acceptable stills. In fact, it was for long cited as the point of entry to 4K videography, though today it remains an option on the used camera market. I once remember picking up one myself because of the flexibility that it promised, and it is that promise which in some measure is now translating into years of close service with many photographers. The G7 comes with a 16-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor, and for its time, delivered quite reasonable dynamic range. Moreover, the compact size makes it perfect for travel and daily carry. My favorite thing in this camera is its articulated touchscreen LCD-it makes shooting from odd angles easy. The EVF is quite responsive, and I was able to... --- ### LUMIX S5IIX in 2025: Still Worth It? A Real-World Review - Published: 2025-01-23 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/lumix-s5iix-in-2025-still-worth-a-real-world-review/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Camera, Lumix, Lumix S5iix, Panasonic https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=_u5jwS9IO_U Hello, guys, this is Leo here from LensClear, and if you are anything like me, your eternal chase would be that perfect shot. Today I want to give some love to a camera that has completely flipped the way I think about photography-Panasonic's LUMIX S5IIX. It is more than a spec sheet; it is one that I have gotten to use in person and to its limits, honestly. Let's break it down as a photographer into what it has done for me today in 2025. Why the LUMIX S5IIX is still a head-turner in 2025 The Lumix S5IIX is not just any other body; it's an experience. I remember when it came out-the buzz going around its video capabilities. Now, a couple of years over, that hype has settled, and we can really see it perform in the real world. The full-frame CMOS sensor provides a very solid basis, 24. 2MP, for both stills and video and, for me, was where it all started. It's not just about high-resolution files; with dynamic range, you get lots of flexibility during post-processing. I have also found it very easy to recover details from shadows and highlights. It saves you when shooting difficult light-a pretty big advantage since it seems that, in real-world photography, that's usually the case. I mean, who can always shoot in a perfectly lit studio? Certainly not me. And if you are migrating from a system with a smaller sensor, then the differences in depth of field and performance... --- ### Revisiting the Panasonic Lumix GX9: A 2025 Perspective - Published: 2025-01-22 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/revisiting-the-lumix-gx9-a-2025-perspective/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Camera, Lumix, Lumix Gx9, Panasonic https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=egsL_rRKkf4 Having been deep in the photography world, my hands have touched many cameras. While the market is always touting new and shiny, some cameras-like the Panasonic Lumix GX9-end up holding a special place in one's heart, even in 2025. So let us not forget this micro four-thirds gem. The GX9 isn't the newest kid on the block, but its charm endures for a reason, and I'm here to tell you why. Why the Lumix GX9 Still Matters in 2025 In a world of rapidly changing technology, it might seem strange to be talking about a camera released in past years. The Lumix GX9 is, however, one of those cases where having the latest specification is not as important as having the correct specifications. A philosophy that the GX9 was clearly built on: thoughtful engineering and usability. It's not about throwing every bell and whistle at the user but rather about creating a powerful yet approachable tool. And that's what made this camera so popular back then, and it still does today. My own experience with the GX9 started, as many others probably did, with a wish to have something smaller and more portable than DSLRs. The thing that immediately impressed me is how this camera can squeeze such a punch in a compact body. It is not just smaller in size; the whole experience feels sleek and user-friendly, offering a tactile shooting experience often overlooked by many modern cameras. The 20. 3MP Digital Live MOS Sensor with the Venus Engine... --- ### Is the Micro Four Thirds System Still Relevant in 2025? A Look at the Panasonic Lumix GH5 - Published: 2025-01-17 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/is-the-panasonic-lumix-gh5-still-relevant-in-2025/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Camera, GH5, Lumix, Panasonic https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=5EGlsioey40 Hello, everyone. Leo here, and if you're anything like me, you're probably obsessed with everything photography-related. Today, I want to talk about the system that-irrespective of the recent hype with bigger sensors-continues to have a sweet spot in my heart: Micro Four Thirds, and more importantly, the Panasonic Lumix GH5. Before I dive in, let me preface that this is not a "deep dive" into literally every spec. Instead, I’m going to share my experiences, thoughts, and, yes, a little bit of my passion for this often-underrated system. Is it still relevant in 2025? Let’s find out. The Allure of Compactness and Versatility: Why M43 Still Has Its Charm One of the biggest draws of the Micro Four Thirds system is its compact size and lightweight design. It's more than just a marketing term; it's a game-changer for those who cherish portability. You can walk around with an entire full-frame camera system and a bunch of lenses. All day you could be walking while traveling or shooting, that is exhausting to say the least. With M43, though, you have an extremely powerful system that fits into a much smaller bag. You will barely feel weighted down so you can get the shot. Another unique consequence of the smaller size of M43 cameras is a different type of lens design. The lenses are mostly much smaller, which opens possibilities for incredible portability without sacrificing image quality. That is why I often reach for my M43 kit, especially when I'm going... --- ### Lumix Line Up 2024: In-depth Look into Panasonic's Photo & Video Future - Published: 2025-01-16 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/look-into-panasonics-photo-video-future-2024/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Camera, Lumix, Panasonic https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=DekCkoXst0o Hello, fellow shutterbugs and storytellers! I'm Leo Liang, your tour guide through the sometimes puzzling world of cameras and lenses. I trust you've been keeping up to date with my journey over at LensClear, where the singular focus has always been getting what you pay for out of our gear-be it professional or entry-level. Today, let's talk Panasonic. 2024 is shaping up to be an interesting year for Lumix, with a handful of new releases that have caught my attention, in particular. It feels like Panasonic continues to champion the Micro Four Thirds (M43) system, while also trying to branch out into full-frame and fixed lens areas of photography. I am seeing the trends and will go over the cameras that they launched this year. Micro Four Thirds Magic: Lumix GH7 and G97 Shine Bright The Lumix brand has become synonymous with some of the best mirrorless cameras out there, and for many, this is true, especially with regards to their smaller M43 system cameras. 2024's offerings are no exception, with the Lumix GH7 and G97 making some significant strides forward. It is fair to say these are the stand-out cameras from Panasonic in 2024. The Flagship Lumix GH7: Power and Professional Video Capability First, we have the Lumix GH7, which is supposed to be the M43 flagship model, due to release in 2024. This one's for video creators, and as we know, the GH line always punches way above its weight for a M43 camera. It's an excellent,... --- ### From Flagship to First Camera: Why the Panasonic Lumix G9 Is Perfect for Beginner Photographers in 2025 - Published: 2025-01-15 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/lumix-g9-is-perfect-for-beginner-photographers/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Camera, G9, Lumix https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=NAlwxuVNYy0 Hey, guys! It's Leo Liang, and I love seeing how many people pick up a camera and enjoy the art of capturing moments through photography. Today, I want to speak with you guys about a camera that may surprise many people: the Panasonic Lumix G9. Ah-you knew that was, like, the higher-end of the older types of those cameras. As a fact, it was their flagship in the year 2017 but will see its re-awakening during 2025 due in great part to value and feature ability beyond mere beliefs. Now we'll look at precisely how this top-shoot camera became suitable for entry into your photography tour. Why It Will Be Smart Choosing Lumix G9 as New Beginning The Lumix G9, which first hit the market in 2017, is an unlikely candidate to be a starter camera for any amateur photographer, since it was targeted at advanced ones. But that's just why it's going to be such a good fit for the 2025 starters: it was developed based on professional needs and demands of photographers, which means that even at its age, it boasts robust features and quality of superior images compared with many newer entry-level cameras. Here's why I think this camera is a hidden gem for beginning shooters. Robust Build and Ergonomics One of the biggest advantages of the G9 is its build quality. This camera is solid, weather-sealed and designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use. For a beginner, this is invaluable. You’re likely to be... --- ### Panasonic Lumix S1R Mark II Specifications Rumors - Published: 2025-01-15 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/panasonic-lumix-s1r-mark-ii-specifications-rumors/ - Categories: L-Rumors - Tags: Camera, Lumix, Panasonic, S1R The new machine is expected to be officially unveiled in February this year.

My Hands-On Thoughts & S5 III Speculation - Published: 2025-01-15 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/the-panasonic-lumix-s5-ii-in-2025-still-a-powerhouse/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Camera, Lumix, S5ii https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=TV0KR0vt2v4 Hello, everybody! Leo Liang here, and welcome back to LensClear! As you guys know, I'm super passionate about photography and videography, and I love sharing my knowledge with you all. Today we're really going to get into detail with a camera that I've been using extensively: the Panasonic Lumix S5 II. We'll get deep into its 2025 performance, my hands-on experience, and even throw some speculative ideas about the hypothetical Lumix S5 III. Buckle up because this is going to be a long one, but hopefully packed with value. Lumix S5 II in 2025: Still a Contender? It's 2025, and the camera market keeps on changing. The big question is: how does the Lumix S5 II stand up to its newer siblings? Well, the S5 II, upon release, made much noise with its full-frame sensor, improved autofocus-a big leap for Panasonic-and robust video capabilities. It boasts a 24. 2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor that delivers fantastic image quality, great low-light performance, and good dynamic range. Mated with its powerful image processing engine, this is one of the most detailed images you'll ever have, with very impressive color representation. Fast forward to 2025, and those core strengths still hold water. Sure, a few cameras these days boast a higher megapixel count or bleeding-edge features, but the S5 II still is an excellent choice for those looking at image quality, great ergonomics, and a versatile hybrid shooting experience. On the S5 II, the PDAF system was a huge leap finally to put it... --- ### The Little Giant: A Deep Dive into the Panasonic Lumix GM1 - Published: 2025-01-14 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/the-little-giant-a-deep-dive-into-the-lumix-gm1/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: GM1, Lumix https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=LbuHUHN6Fks Hey, guys, welcome back! Today, Leo Liang from LensClear takes you on a walk down memory lane, but a really small, well-designed lane. I want to highlight a camera that really changed the game for compact designs, while not sacrificing image quality: the Panasonic Lumix GM1. Forget your clunky DSLRs for a moment; this little marvel is a testament to how technology can shrink down without compromise. If you've ever dreamt of having a genuinely pocketable camera with interchangeable lenses, this is the story you've been waiting for. The Genesis of a Micro Marvel Released in late 2013, the Lumix GM1 wasn't just another Micro Four Thirds camera; it was a bold statement from Panasonic. At the time, even mirrorless cameras were pushing the size envelope, but the GM1 chucked that trend out the window. Imagine holding a camera smaller than a deck of cards with the option to switch out lenses-that's the core magic of the GM1. Measuring only 98. 5 x 54. 9 x 30. 4mm and weighing about 204 grams with battery and memory card slotted inside it was, and arguably remains, the most compact interchangeable lens camera yet made. All the more astonishing given MFT sensors are bigger than those inside many compact cameras, never mind smartphones. Now, I know some of you are probably wondering about its compromises given its size, but this little beast doesn't compromise on image quality, despite its size. Personally, I like to talk about the balance and precision of this camera in... --- ### Is the Lumix GH6 a Powerhouse Even in 2025? In-Depth Review & GH7 Comparison - Published: 2025-01-12 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/is-the-lumix-gh6-a-powerhouse-even-in-2025/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Camera, Lumix, Panasonic https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=Ab2vTy64OjQ&t=30s Hello, guys, it's Leo! As you guys know if you have been following my work at LensClear, this channel is not only about shooting but also learning about gear to make informed decisions that help push your limits. Today, we’re putting the spotlight on a camera that’s been a workhorse for many: the Panasonic Lumix GH6. Released in 2022, it’s been a popular choice for both video and still photography. Now that we’re in 2025, and with the GH7 having hit the market in 2024, it’s time to ask: Is the GH6 still relevant? And how does it stack up against the newer model? It's not a specs battle but rather a look at how these cameras feel in your hands, what they can do for your creative vision. Let's dive in, shall we? Lumix GH6: A 2022 Marvel in 2025's Landscape The Panasonic Lumix GH6, upon its release in early 2022, came with quite a bit of fanfare-and for good reason. That said, it represented a significant leap for Panasonic with the Micro Four Thirds series, one packed with many features targeted right at the ambitious content creator. In 2025, the GH6 mightn't be that new kid in town anymore, but it does retain a high level of allure because of what it brings in combination. Let's look at those aspects that will make the GH6 a consideration still important in today's world. First off, let's talk about video. The GH6 internal 5. 7K Apple ProRes recording at up... --- ### The Panasonic FZ150 in 2025: Can It Still Be Your Affordable Photography Tool? - Published: 2025-01-12 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/the-fz150-can-it-still-be-your-affordable-camera/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Lumix, Panasonic https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=mWy3jd0btnM&t=48s A Look Back at the Panasonic Lumix FZ150: My Initial Impressions Hello and welcome, everybody! This is Leo from LensClear! Today, let's go back in time and discuss a camera that, although no longer the latest model, is still dear to my heart: the Panasonic Lumix FZ150. When this camera was launched, I was quite fascinated with it. It wasn't some full-frame behemoth or the sleekest mirrorless on the block; rather, it occupied that very interesting niche of superzoom bridge camera that promised serious reach and image quality. The FZ150, first released around 2011, always struck me as a great option for enthusiasts. I was never really into entry-level point-and-shoots, and entry-level DSLRs felt too limiting and cumbersome at times; I also wanted something more versatile than micro four-thirds cameras. Now, if you've followed me for a while-or caught me on one of my podcast appearances! -you know that I'm all about practical solutions and tools that help real-world photography scenarios. That's why the FZ150 had my attention: its combination of zoom, built-in flash, and reasonable size was a big win for various applications such as travel, street, and nature. For that time, that's was a big deal, especially for a one-piece camera solution that isn't cumbersome as DSLR or the complicated with interchangeable lenses. Let's not pretend, 2011 might seem like eons ago. Hard to imagine in a photography world where new models are launched every time, for many, this camera can be the stepping stone into the next level;... --- ### Is the Panasonic S1R II My Ultimate Camera? Maybe! A Humorous Deep Dive - Published: 2025-01-11 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/is-the-panasonic-s1r-ii-my-ultimate-camera-maybe/ - Categories: L-Rumors https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=plBu8kEo470 Okay, fellow photo fanatics, let's talk turkey – or should I say, talk camera? I've been on a quest, a photographic pilgrimage if you will, for the perfect camera. And recently, my gaze has been locked on the rumored Panasonic S1R II. Now, I know what you are thinking: "Another camera article? Yawn! " But trust me, this isn't your average spec-sheet snoozefest. This is a journey of the heart, a comedic exploration of cutting-edge tech, and a healthy dose of "what ifs? ". So, buckle up, grab your favorite lens, and let's get started! The Leica SL3 Doppelganger: A Tale of Two Cameras or Maybe One? The very first whispers about the S1R II that reached my ears were... intriguing. Apparently, it's rumored to be rocking the same core hardware as the Leica SL3. Yes, you heard me right. The legendary Leica, the camera that makes my wallet weep by just staring at it. And, it seems, the SL3 is, uh, assembled by Panasonic. I mean, what a plot twist! So, is it a carbon copy? A "rebadged" version? Or has Panasonic decided to flex some serious muscle and make something truly unique with the SL3's core? Kind of like when you see a celebrity wearing the same outfit you got at Target – it makes you feel at once validated and slightly suspicious. But here's the thing: The Leica SL3 features a 60MP BSI CMOS sensor, phenomenal 15 stops of dynamic range, and 8K video. That's the same sensor... --- ### Is the Panasonic S9 Missing the Mark? Two Ideas from a GH7 User - Published: 2025-01-09 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/is-the-panasonic-s9-missing-the-mark/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Lumix https://youtube. com/watch? v=grmcec0vPx0 The Panasonic Lumix S9 has finally come out into the wild to a mixture of both excitement and skepticism. Sporting a full-frame sensor in a body so small, it's already been panned for an identity crisis: is it trying to be a pro powerhouse or an entry-level camera? Many think, as we do at Tom's Guide, that it doesn't entirely please either camp-lacking some of the advanced features pros would want, yet still somewhat too complicated for rank beginners. Being a devoted Panasonic user, and specifically a Lumix GH7 owner, some obvious ways the S9 could carve its niche-if only it borrowed a few pages from its M43 brethren-present themselves. M43 Lens Philosophy Unleashed One of the core strengths of the Micro Four Thirds system is the availability of incredibly compact and versatile lenses. While full-format systems often fall into the trap of racing toward the largest aperture (think f/1. 4, f/1. 2), they occasionally forget about offering light, walk-around lenses-the perfect companions for travel, street, and landscape photography. This is a place where the S9 can make its unique contribution to the market. Lightweight Full-Frame Lenses: A Call for CompactnessPanasonic should take a page from the M43 playbook and develop compact, lightweight full-frame lenses, just like Olympus did with their M. Zuiko 12-100mm f/4 Pro and Panasonic with their 12-60mm f/2. 8-4. These lenses, though not the fastest, are made for portability and versatility. The Olympus 12-100mm f/4 PRO, for example, is a travel companion par excellence, thanks to its incredible range... --- ### Is the Panasonic LUMIX S5 Still Worth Buying in 2025 and Beyond? - Published: 2025-01-09 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/is-thelumix-s5-still-worth-buying-in-2025/ - Categories: Camera https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=ty-qiM7NFZs A Deep Dive The Panasonic LUMIX S5 isn't just a camera; it's a statement. It's a declaration that you don't have to compromise, you can have amazing image quality, robust features, and a price tag that doesn't require selling a kidney. Sure, it's been around the block, but sometimes in a constantly changing landscape, such as digital imaging, you need and perhaps even want tried and true. We're not here for fanboy fluff-we are going to dissect this thing like a surgeon. Is it still worth your hard-earned cash? Let's find out. Image Quality and Sensor Shenanigans: The Heart of the Beast Inside, at the heart of the LUMIX S5, is a 24. 2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor. Before you pooh-pooh the numbers, let me remind you: megapixels are not everything; what matters is how the sensor captures light, the dynamic range it's capable of, and the noise performance-and in those regards, this camera truly punches above its weight class. The S5 delivers images with impressive detail and color fidelity. The dynamic range is, in fact very good, enabling you to recover highlights and shadows with liberal latitude. Translation: incredible flexibility in post-processing. Those overexposed skies can turn into a work of art with a few tweaks, not totally blown out. And let's talk noise: even at high ISO settings - 6400 and upwards - the S5 still manages detail without smearing it into oblivion; that's just amazing. We are talking real-world shooting here, not some pixel peeping in a darkroom... --- ### Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds Future: 2025-Should It Be a Year to Worry? - Published: 2025-01-08 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/panasonic-m43-future-2025-should-be-a-year-to-worry/ - Categories: News - Tags: Panasonic https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=R8r309O1q2E 2025 is both anticipated and dreaded in equal measure by the MFT community. While Panasonic did launch some new MFT cameras in 2024, such as the well-received GH7, there's a lot of trepidation about what the coming year might bring for the system. For example, the announcements of the updates to the G97/G99M2 and G100D models felt very minor affairs. But the complete lack of any new lens announcements, along with a conspicuous absence of rumors about new glass for 2025, has triggered a wave of pessimism amongst industry observers. This is in contrast to some earlier years where new lens rumors would almost always be surfacing. A Bleak 2025 for MFT? The general feeling, especially among those deeply involved in the camera technology, is that Panasonic's MFT offerings will be pretty bleak in 2025. Not to let emotion get in the way, but the trends are such that the best-case scenario could be the release of new models in the compact GM/GF line. Although Panasonic has clearly stated that they are not leaving the compact mirrorless market, this could be the only thing to watch out for next year. Many shooters that prefer more compact, light cameras see this potentially upcoming release of the GM/GF as the silver lining, insinuating there may be life in the series yet. Safe to say that is definitely not what most enthusiast MFT users are really waiting to hear, though. Lens Nowhere on the Horizon? To add to the concern, there's virtually... --- ### Panasonic Lumix S9: Is This The Mirrorless Camera You've Been Waiting For? (Or Just Another Hype Train?) - Published: 2025-01-05 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/lumix-s9-is-this-the-camera-you-been-waiting-for/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Lumix, S9 https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=ia5MCvtWbyg&t=3s The Panasonic Lumix S9 has finally touched down, stirring up a very big deal in the land of mirrorless cameras. So, is this really a revolutionary camera, or just another overhyped piece of tech which will actually do little but lighten your wallet? Let's strip the marketing layers from the S9 and have a look with a seriously critical, no-holds-barred approach. Cut the Hype, Let's Talk Real Performance Let's get down to business: the Lumix S9 is a very interesting camera, filled with exciting features and some dubious design decisions. It is far from perfect, and whether or not it's the right fit for you will depend entirely upon your priorities as a photographer or videographer. Image Quality: The Heart of the Matter The Lumix S9 comes fitted with a 24. 2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor. Let's get the obvious out of the way first: full frame is good. It allows for shallower depth of field, excellent dynamic range, and superior low-light performance compared to crop-sensor cameras. Real-World Performance: You should get crisp images with a nice amount of detail in real-world usage. RAW files hold a lot of information, thereby offering extensive latitude in editing. The sensor does fairly well in low-light shooting, maintaining a reasonably low level of noise up to around ISO 6400. Beyond that, you start to see some degradation, but it's still usable depending on your needs. Dynamic Range: The dynamic range is competitive; it gives you flexibility in recovering details in both shadows and highlights... . --- ### Panasonic Lumix GH7: Is this the ultimate M43 camera for 2024? - Published: 2025-01-04 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/lumix-gh7-is-this-the-ultimate-m43-camera-for-2024/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Lumix, Lumix GH7 https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=-QOoxcRHpoQ&t=12s The Panasonic Lumix GH series has long been synonymous with high-end video capabilities in the M43 space. With the release of the 2024 Lumix GH7, Panasonic once again raises the bar with a camera that truly aims to be a hybrid. But is it, as advertised, right for you? This in-depth review looks at what the GH7 does well and poorly and for whom this fully featured camera is best suited. Image quality: improved, but is it sufficient? At the heart of the GH7 is a 25. 2 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor - a big upgrade over the GH6, and the same one found in the Lumix G9 II. While its resolution is essentially the same as before, the backside-illuminated (BSI) architecture brings with it some real benefits in terms of light gathering and dynamic range. Meanwhile, the GH7 gains Dynamic Range Enhancement, which now runs across the full ISO range, whereas it was previously restricted to ISO 800. The resulting images are sharp, detailed, and high-contrast, especially if one is shooting with a quality M43 lens. Performances in the GH7 can be great in low light, though one must remember that such smaller sensors bear more noise at a higher ISO in comparison with big-sensor cameras such as APS-C and full-frame cameras. Some reviewers find that noise starts to become apparent at ISO 3200, where the finest details go blurry, and ISO 6400 is still quite useable. While this is a limitation of the M43 system, Panasonic has done an... --- ### Panasonic Lumix ZS99 (TZ99) 2025 Review: The Ultimate Pocket Travel Camera - Published: 2024-12-27 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/lumix-zs99-2025-review-ultimate-pocket-travel-camera/ - Categories: Camera https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=TyMtq9zDx50&t=18s The Panasonic Lumix ZS series, known as the TZ series in some markets, has always been a favorite of any traveler and amateur photographer who seeks an advanced yet compact camera. The Lumix ZS99, expected in 2025, will no doubt continue this tradition by housing advanced features within a pocket-sized body. This review will go deep into expected specifications, user experience, image quality, and more-all in one for an all-rounded understanding of the potential buyer. We would expect the ZS99 to secure its position among the best travel zoom cameras, excellent for capturing stunning photos and videos on your adventures. Equipped to handle the photographer in action and those needing or wanting DSLR performance but with less size. Expected Specifications Sensor and Resolution The Lumix ZS99 should come with an updated 20. 3-megapixel high-sensitivity MOS sensor to give it an improved showing in low light and increase image details. While still of the 1/2. 3-inch type, the pixel design and signal processing would have been advanced in such a way as to make the images sharper and increase the dynamic range over the predecessor models. There will still be an emphasis on realizing fantastic image quality across numerous photographic conditions. High-resolution shots are critical for cropping and printing travel photos in detailed forms.   Lens and Zoom Capabilities The ZS99 is very likely to retain the same impressive 30x optical zoom lens covering a versatile focal length range of 24-720mm, 35mm equivalent. This makes it suitable for everything from wide-angle landscapes to... --- ### Panasonic LUMIX DC-G97 Official Announcement & Pre-Order Sales Started - Published: 2024-12-21 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/lumix-dc-g97-announcement-pre-order-sales-started/ - Categories: Camera - Tags: Lumix, Lumix G97, Panasonic https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=WQijZBFwjao&t=3s overview A compact, lightweight body and an interchangeable lens system that makes it easy to carry.

Important, Asobinet writes that  “this response appears to be a mix of Panasonic’s response and the author’s opinions” New Products It’s safe to assume that the next generation of the LUMIX S1 series will be released soon. Panasonic is not satisfied with the specifications of the new camera and is continuing development work, such as the video specifications. 8K/30P may be a “compromise” specification to solve the problem. 8K/60P may be what some users really want, and some even think 8K120P would be ideal. However, more time needs to be spent on developing the 120P. Panasonic first chose to realize a wide range of uses. In addition to the LUMIX GH7 with Arri LogC3, Panasonic and Arri plan to continue working together in the future. Lens Regarding lenses, the current direction is to design them to match the body. The early LUMIX S1 series was “large” and the corresponding lenses fit well. The body was then significantly lighter with the LUMIX S5, and the company focused on small and medium-sized lenses. With the release of the LUMIX S9, lenses such as the “LUMIX S 18-40mm F4. 5-6. 3” exhibited at the P&I Show are attracting attention. Some users have stated that the focal length of the “LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7. 1 MACRO OIS” is still not long enough, and Panasonic is currently looking into this. Panasonic said that in light of the L-Mount Alliance, non-official L-Mount AF lenses may be released.

This indicates that Panasonic is preparing to launch TWO cameras within the next 3-4 months. To clarify, these codes do NOT correspond to the new G97 or TZ compact cameras, as those only feature 2. 4MHz support. The registered models, however, are compatible with 5. 1MHz as well. My guess is that we’ll see both the SR1II and S1HII released. That would be exciting, wouldn’t it? --- ### Comprehensive Guide to Photography Filters: UV, ND, Polarizer & More - Published: 2024-12-16 - Modified: 2025-02-22 - URL: https://lensclear.net/comprehensive-guide-to-photography-filters/ - Categories: Accessory Explore our comprehensive guide to photography filters, from UV to ND and polarizers. Learn how they elevate your photos! https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=_oNYEJ52kfs&t=573s Filters: Affordable Accessories to Transform Your Photography Filters are one of the least expensive accessories you can use to make big changes in the way your pictures look. Obviously, digital photography has changed the use of filters, and photo-editing software has eliminated the need for using many of the filters. For the purposes of this discussion, I’ll limit the scope of my information to filters that can be used to alter your photographs, be they digital, color, or B/W film. Types of Filters Filters come in two basic forms: Screw-On Filters The most common is a transparent disk of colored glass or plastic that is mounted in a metal frame and screwed into the threads on the front of your lens. What size filter you choose depends on the maker of the lens and the lens you are putting it on. They come in sizes ranging from 48mm to 77mm. Look on the front of your lens and you should see a number like 52, 56, 58, etc. That is your filter size.
