A hybrid photo/video full-frame mirrorless that finally gives Panasonic L-mount shooters phase-detect autofocus. For monitoring and external recording, the full-size HDMI Type A output is a standout at this price point — no fragile Micro HDMI to baby. The USB-C port runs at 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2) for fast tethering, in-body charging, and UVC/UAC livestreaming. Dual UHS-II SD slots and both 3.5mm mic/headphone jacks round out a no-compromise connection set for video work.
Full-frame hybrid mirrorless with full-size HDMI, USB-C 10Gbps tethering, dual UHS-II SD slots, and 3.5mm mic/headphone jacks.

Notes & Compatibility
Full-size HDMI Type A (HDMI 2.0b, 4K 60p 10-bit out, 5.9K 30p ProRes RAW to Atomos Ninja V+). USB-C is USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps), supports UVC/UAC livestreaming, tethering, and in-camera charging. Also has a 2.5mm remote port for a wired shutter release (not listed in the port table). The full-size HDMI is the headline: most mirrorless bodies give you micro-HDMI, so this one takes an ordinary HDMI cable and does not need a fragile adapter on the rig. Mic and headphone are separate 3.5mm jacks, so you monitor and record at once. Both SD slots are UHS-II, and UHS-II only pays off if the card is too — a UHS-I card in a UHS-II slot runs at UHS-I speed.
