Yeahhhhhhhhhh!
Actually I am fine with my cameras, but still for the sake of Pana and the L mount future, they need to improve the line-up "upwards".

hahahaha 
, we've caught Josh Cameron testing the S1HII... min 5:04 of his video...
In the upper right corner there are more red characters after the "H" of the Lumix S1H
He says in the comments of the video that it is a mockup image... I don't know, I don't know... that red button at the bottom is like the GH7, but the GH7 has only two black ones next to the mount...

It is. Look at some of the details: cross head screws aren't little metal discs with a '+' embossed into them, they have more depth in the centre. And no manufacturer goes to the trouble of aligning them all perfectly. Look at the product shots on DPReview's S1H review.
It's like a lot of AI generated imagery: everything is a bit too perfect, although it looks very convincing at first glance.
OK, but the 2 Red points next to the Red "H"... that may raise suspicions. They corresponde to the "II" in Roman characters, like in the S5II or the G9ii.

Hey Oiche,
Sorry just want to clarify my previous message a bit.
What I mean is, you guys know I have connections with Panasonic and a few brands. So whenever there are discussions about upcoming product rumours, I would try to avoid participating in those threads.
It’s because even if I’m just saying something that is completely my speculation and I explicitly clarified that, it may still get misinterpreted and could become a rumour.
There are already enough people purposely spreading fake rumours to get views and likes. I think those rumours really hurt the camera industry, as they hype things up so much with fake/misinformation and set wrong expectations that otherwise wouldn’t be there.
So when a company announces a new product, quite often people are disappointed because that’s not what the rumours promised.
For a similar reason, I very rarely create videos that speculate things on my YouTube channel, even though that is an easy way to get views and grow my channel as people like to watch these kinds of videos, I just don’t want to be another people that end up creating wrong expectations or rumours.
Apologies if my previous message caused any confusion.

Thx for the answer. I could share some footage, if you are interested. I have same (not public) stuff on youtube and at home, some 1000km away, some material stitched and "raw" in various light conditions.

Totally reasonable position to take Richard. I see that Josh decided to jump on the predictions bandwagon (well, his hopes/expectations of what Panasonic might do in 2025), but I'm not holding much stock in it. Either he's embargoed on real info so can't say the truth, or he's speculating just like the rest of us. Either way, it's not reliable enough info to form any reasonable expectation.Hey Oiche,

Hi Richard, I was only having a bit of fun and hence included the Colombo meme. I'm not into the speculation stuff especially coming from Pentax where I was (and still am) sick to death of all of that.Apologies if my previous message caused any confusion.
What an excellent advertisement Josh's video was for Lumix IBIS and FF low light performance. I say this in regard to the recent comment by Dirk saying they don't advertise this enough and he's right.
Richard, Gordon Laing, Geeky Nerdy and Shane (Geeky Techy Nerdy) frequently demonstrate how much better the Lumix stability is than the competition but yet it's not well enough known or accepted knowledge. I'm not even sure the sales people in my local camera shop know but one of them did say Lumix was best for video in a generic way, but a pitch and demonstration showing the stability could definitely sway a potential hybrid camera buyer. It would have for me!
There are still many people who will walk into a shop and decide what to buy and these people are not us, they don't research or watch reviews.
I'm not sure such off-loaded somewhat passive marketing via YouTubers is the best method to boost the brand and sales? If you compare it to brute-force traditional historical marketing it seems almost non-existent even if such was aimed at the masses.
I think Josh's video should be a kick up Lumix's arse and employ such people directly rather than him getting a few travel and equipment perks and him having to rely on a few 1000 clicks which I imagine pays pittance on YouTube.
