As an owner of the Panasonic Lumix G9 I was intrigued by the announcement of its successor, the G9II, though I honestly don't feel any great need to upgrade at this time.
Rather than regurgitate the camera's specs, which are readily available elsewhere, I'd refer the reader to DPreview's initial take on what the G9II has to offer. Perhaps the most important improvement from the older model is the inclusion of on-sensor phase detection, previously available only in Panasonic's full frame S line, that should make correct focusing far easier. And then too the camera, though like its predecessor marketed primarily to stills photographers such as myself, apparently evidences far improved video capabilities that in some respects surpass those of the GH6. Other innovations, however much they may be hyped, appear more incremental than revolutionary.
The G9II is available for preorder from B&H at a price of $1,897.99 (body only) is expected to begin shipping in early November.
