Well it’s been a while but, as they say in their trailer for the launch, the wait for a refreshed RX10 is almost over. A lot has changed in the nine years since the last version so it should have a significant bump in features but, equally, it will likely get a significant bump in price (from an already pricey base point) that we’ve seen everywhere else in that intervening period. It certainly has the potential to be more than enough camera for more than enough people otherwise they wouldn’t bother bringing a new version out but equally it could also just be a grab for them. The internal ND of the Panasonic FZ2000/2500 gave it the edge for me over the RX10 so that’s one area where Sony might have come back at it but, then again, Panasonic show little sign of refreshing the FZ2000/2500 so there may be no need. All in all it might be something interesting or a head scratcher. -
Reading up on these technologies, LOFIC is evolutionary, but OPF is revolutionary. -
From everything I’ve found, Panasonic definitely sold a large portion of its semiconductor business to Nuvoton in 2019 (completed in 2020). But I haven’t found any evidence that the Organic CMOS/OPF technology itself was sold or abandoned.In fact, Panasonic has continued publishing updates on the technology. Here’s a 2023 announcement improving the OPF sensor’s color reproduction. So while none of us know if it’ll ever end up in a Lumix camera, I don’t think it’s accurate to say it’s in “cold storage” @sanveer or that Panasonic sold it off. If anyone has a source that says otherwise, I’d genuinely like to read it.

Over the years I used to think about that publicised organic sensor, too, but I think since then, the Panasonic sensor work was sold off, wasn't it? -
That sensor is probably in permanent cold storage. Panasonic could use a LOFIC sensor instead. That could easily add 2-3 stops of dynamic range. Rolling shutter doesn't have to be absent, but being controlled is good enough.
