Fancy trying out a new Panasonic camera? You can with this new service.

What Lumix cameras are available for lease and for how much?

At the end of the rental period, you could cancel the payments and the product is yours.

The new camera shopping?

The Panasonic Lumix S5 II is one of the models available to rent.

Shoppers in Japan can already rent many types of essential products from Panasonic, including washing machines and dishwashers.

Personally, I dont feel the same way, and Im all for this new service.

Cameras like those mentioned above are better than ever, but also prohibitively expensive for most people.

Panasonic G100

The Lumix G100 with 12-32mm lens – one of the cameras available through a lease.

That’s happened to me before.

Id love to see a lease service more widely rolled out for camera gear.

Could this be a new way of camera shopping?

Panasonic LUMIX S5II…

I certainly think so.
