In 2025, Panasonic focused on releasing impressive full-frame Lumix S cameras like the S1 II and S1R II, which feature advanced sensors and video capabilities, while neglecting its Micro Four Thirds system with no new products or lenses, signaling a shift in company priorities. The year also saw the launch of two new Lumix S zoom lenses, enhancing its camera lineup.
