The details of the previously reported Hasselblad X2D II medium format camera leaked online from the recent FCC filing - the confidentiality request was for 180 days starting from 12/02/2024. I posted the first leaked pictures in March of this year.

Here is what I found at the FCC filing:

The HASSELBLADTM HB722 is Hasselblad’s next generation mirrorless medium format digital camera with a large 100-megapixel CMOS sensor
that boasts 16-bit colour depth and a dynamic range of 15 stops. The camera features a 5-axis 8-stop in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and face
detection. Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) technology is integrated into the camera’s system, delivering superb, true-to-life tones that
match what the human eye sees. The HB722 offers more storage with a built-in 1TB SSD and users can expand the capacity further with a
CFexpress Card Type B. With access to a vast range of high-quality lenses including XCD, HC, HCD, XPan, and V System, the creative possibilities with the HB722 are
endless.

Panasonic announced a new "Titanium Gold" finish for the Lumix S9 camera - for now available only in Japan (Google translation):

"A special titanium gold, arrived at through repeated trial and error

Conventional metallic paints were created by mixing metal particles into the paint, but there were limitations in reproducing the depth and texture of real metal. The S9's titanium gold paint is based on a thorough commitment to texture and uses a three-layer paint that is completely different from conventional metallic paints. First, the first layer, which serves as the base, is painted with piano black paint. This brings out the shine of the next layer. The second layer is then finished to a mirror finish. This process allows for a high level of brightness without any graininess.The third layer is then painted with a color clear paint to express the color and texture of titanium gold. This process achieves a deep metallic luster and a rich expression that changes delicately."

Here are the currently available S9 colors in the US:
