Gotta squeeze the last juice out of the fruit. There are a lot of FX3 users itching to buy a new camera, and either the FX3II isn't coming soon or they plan to raise the price significantly. -

Pyxis also does 72p open gate for not a lot more - though it can only do open gate 72p at 8K, 12k is limited to a mere 40. And the UC12K does 12k open gate at 80fps and 8k at 144fps. Komodo-X also does open gate at 80fps, though open gate on K-X is 17:9. All of those cameras support those framerates in raw. I think the S1 II can only do it in 10-bit or less formats, right? Not a deal-breaker, but another limitation. I don't know why anybody acts like shooting high FPS open gate is a hugely exciting feature, though. Is shooting slow motion 3:2 really a huge use case? For the sort of stuff that I shoot, we're usually delivering in scope and overcranking done rarely at best. -

... and Black Magic seem to be able to source sensors from Fairchild. And Red from Towerjazz (or at least they did once?). Even if those are exclusive contracts, there are plenty of others able to make image sensors. https://us.metoree.com/categories/image-sensor/ At least in the case of BMD and Red, that also means that they have sensors that are a lot more interesting than others - with Red having a global shutter with similar DR performance (or superior in the case of V-Raptor) to non-global shutters used in most mirrorless cameras. And in the case of BMD, the RGBW sensor in the UC12K and Pyxis is fantastic and a great differentiator vs Sony's offerings. The catch is that there's a big upfront cost in development of those or other sensors and Panasonic are unlikely to invest that - instead focusing on extracting money from customers who are locked in to their mount and from technology licensing deals with Leica. -
Except they made a sensor https://petapixel.com/2024/03/11/panasonics-organic-sensor-may-be-complete-but-likely-wont-be-used/ -

I think the problem with Panasonic is that they do not have much in the way of leverage for semiconductor/image sensors. Sony dominates image sensor market, Canon produces their own sensors/lithography equipment, Nikon is second to only ASML for lithography, Fuji has patents dating back to film. Meanwhile Panasonic is better known for making TVs or batteries.
