Latest S1ii rumours...

I wonder if Lumix will have something at CES? Panasonic already had a big opening Keynote yesterday, but a product announcement would be nice.
 
I think it's a little unusual, if we see a S1ii and SL3-S so close in time getting announced. It's also unusual that we know about nothing at the moment. From Panasonic we even don't know actually what we get when, but only very soon.

From Leica, we know it's very likely the SL3-S on January 16th. But usually Leica isn't as good in creeping secrets, compared to the Japanese companies. Usually we know almost everything a view week before the announcement. This time, I haven't seen any specifications that would look more than a wild guess.
 
It's gonna be a S1R successor in February:

Panasonic Lumix S1R successor will be announced in February! - L mount system camera rumors and news

https://youtu.be/HaRPuyZ8z4Q According to two reliable sources, Panasonic will launch a new successor to the Lumix S1R in February! This will happen before the start of the CP+ trade show (before Feb. 27). The sources have not yet shared the camera's specifications, but it is clear that it will...

Not that close, I would have hoped. But still.
 
Biggest question in my mind is what the form factor will be - S1-size or S5-size. I'm guessing probably between the two.
 
I definitely want there to be an S1Hii (at least the version of the S1Hii I have in my head), but what I can't decide even if it comes out is...do I splurge on that, or just hope it drives used S1H prices further down and go that route for a year or two.

I have and love two S5iiX bodies (to go along with my truckload of Micro 4/3 gear), but I want to add an L mount body with an OLPF. S1H image is magical.

I think you're right. The size and weight of the original S1 being virtually the same as a FF DSLR put a lot of people off. Not that I'll be buying, but my biggest question is what sensor they use.

I imagine it will be a Leica SL3 with bits added and bits taken away. 15 stops of dynamic range, hugely malleable files and no Lightroom tethering :(
