I’ve been reading about new rumors of Lumix cameras that could be coming our way as Panasonic celebrates 25 years since releasing the first Lumix cameras, the compact DMC-LC5 and DMC-F7.

The rumors were reported by Mirrorless Rumors, which says that Chinese social media is buzzing with talk of several models to be released, with the majority of people leaning towards an S9 II, S5 III, and S1H II.
