What is Lumix working on?

[CH_CH]

So finally, the S1 series is updated, fine cameras if you ask me, some of the best options for certain photographers and videographers (not me, I am happy with the S5ii).
But the product guys at the factory are surely not sitting back and reading forums.
What do you think is in the pipeline?
A S9 version with EVF?
A S1Hii in the body of a GH7 to prevent overheating, with the A1 sensor?
A S1Hii in a more boxy format with internal ND filters?
A compact fixed lens camera based on the S9 but with a 35 f1.8 lens?

- S1Hii - no doubt it will be next
- Box camera with S1ii or S1Hii sensor

Later but surely not this year:
- S9ii (assuming v1 sold well enough)
- S9x - S9 with EVF. We can dream, freight?
- S5iii - I think this one eventually will just be S1ii innards with some cuts (EVF, …?) and maybe then again introducing a new shape. But not holding my breath for even next year on this.

probably/hopefully also busy making new glass. Some people have been complaining a lot about the lack of new pro glass. Personally I want to see more like 24-60 f2.8.

I hope they are working on an S9 with EVF. And a decent pancake lens or two, like the Nikon Z pancakes.

The L-mount ecosystem has room for a professional sports/wildlife camera. Not sure I'd buy it, but Sigma is making lenses for such a body. Perhaps it will be Sigma that creates it - their CEO has stated he would like to do that.

I hope that somehow Sigma makes an aps-c sized small l-mount camera. They have a lot of aps-c l-mount lenses.

But an S9x with evf sounds nice. Although my next cam will probably be a S1Rii. If / when I outgrow my S5ii…. but for me the 96mp hand held high-res option is just right for me. Don’t need the 44mp all the time.
