- 5-axis IBIS (maybe from G85)
- ISO up to 102,400
- 4K video at 60fps
- New filter effects
- Same body design ergonomics
- Price around $1200
We hope the Panasonic GX9 camera will arrive in late 2017. Please feel free to relay your comments, or suggestions.
Things m43 just keep getting better and better!!
Hmmm…wondering if it’s worth trading up for Oly EM1.2 or waiting. What about IBIS for my oly lenses?
I’m assuming that we are no loner waiting for a GX9 now that the G9 has been launched? I’m assuming that this was the fabled high end Camera? I assume a lot 🙂
