This is a bit surprising from Leica. I wonder if this would also work for the LX100. https://leica-camera.com/en-int/photography/cameras/d-lux/d-lux-8/downloads

Gerald did receive the GH7 from Panasonic.

Gerald had this comment from his GH7 review. (Yes, Panasonic did send him a copy) 🤣

The mount is definitely m43.

I suspect many have had the GH7 for a few weeks now. Ambassador Ben Staley will be showing a new Short film this coming Saturday that was partially filmed with an unreleased Lumix camera, showcasing its action capabilities. https://www.cinegearexpo.com/programs/la/cine-gear-news-la-expo-2024.pdf

2 years is very short for a GH series camera. Yes, I think they were invited to see the GH7 and at some point Panasonic decided to show the S9 as well. I think Gerald decided not to go based on the GH7 and was upset he missed the S9. It sounds like a lot of sour grapes to me. I am surprised it got the play time it did. But that is social media for you.

Panasonic Japan has now discontinued the GH6, so it looks like the GH7 is coming. This is likely what the GH6 should have been. https://panasonic.jp/dc/p-db/DC-GH6_manualdl.html

The rumor site confirmed today that there is no mechanical shutter and the pancake prime is a very slow lens cap lens.

I thought I would resurrect this thread as it looks like Logitech will be announcing a new MEVO product on the 17th with the m43 sensor/mount. The video specs are not great but it will be interesting to see how far they take this. The 6400mAh battery should provide a very long run time. https://asobinet.com/logitech-announces-micro-four-thirds-camera-for-live-streaming-on-march-19/ Interchangeable lens camera Mevo Core micro four thirds system Dual USB-C ports 3.5mm audio interface HDMI output microSD card slot 6400mAh replaceable battery 1/4 inch screw cold shoe USB-C 20W power supply 4K 30fps output Compatible with Mevo Multicum APP

It looks like Sony has significantly cleaned up their video noise quality. I do wonder if this can be applied to other non-global shutter sensors as well. https://www.cined.com/sony-alpha-9-iii-lab-test-dynamic-range-and-latitude/

It is just being announced live by Sony. At only 24mp there will be no 8k. It will be interesting to see the video specs. https://m.dpreview.com/news/7271416294/sony-announces-a9-iii-world-s-first-full-frame-global-shutter-camera

Also, full size HDMI and USB-C 3.2 gen2. Basically, a faster m43 sensor with the body/ processor of the S5ii. You could easily switch back and forth between the G9ii and S5ii and not need to relearn anything. Based on latest rumor, Panasonic will also announce a GH6X/GH7 with PDAF at the same time.
