In fact, Panasonic should make a standalone version of the LX100 lens, just a little bit bigger to cover the entire sensor. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

The camera looks like the bastard child of the LX100 II (the back panel clearly shows that the LX100 II was the base camera) and a Canon M50. And one could be afraid that the extra 4k crop of the LX100 II / GX9 / G95 is still present... Want to see the buttons on the top of the camera, but for me the lack of a proper rear dial is sad.

You could use the Panasonic 12mm f/2.5, the performance probably will be close.

Just made at home a very fast test with the GX9, using C-AF and putting / taking out a medicine box in front of the camera (changing the focal point between the box and my computer monitor - like vloggers do when showing a product). Central focal point, using the Panny 12mm f/2.5. Worked much better than GX85 or the E-M10 MK III - there is just a little jump back nail focus, but was just one little jump, and the focus where nailed between the box and the monitor all the time, no further hunting. Far from perfect, but could be enough for a newbie vlogger. Will test face detection with my little daughter (eye detection is already much better in the GX9 than the face detection in the Olympus). GX9 could be a good parameter - looks like the hardware base is the same. Also, saw this test some time ago:

Full specs leaked in the 43rumors link now. DFD (oh boy), 5 axis IBIS, 3,68k EVF (almost sure that will be field sequential), 1,840k LCD "free-angle", pop up flash, 1/50 sync speed (looks like they've used the GM5 shutter unit), V-Log L, Cinelike D and V, micro UBS 2.0 (holy shit, Panasonic), 40 min record time (which will be impressive and confirms that the limits in other cameras are just crippling). Size, smaller than GX85 and bigger than GX850. DFD use will make this camera a bashing fest - otherwise looks like a very interesting little camera, specially for the price.

NOW I'm interested in this one - looks like a perfect concert recording camera, compact (303g), 5-axis, EVF, and good mics. For vlogging, the AF and crop will be deciding factors. I've playing with the CAF in my GX9 and it is MUCH better than all the previous m43 cameras that I've used, but not Sony / Canon / Fuji reliable. If there is no 4k crop and a new AF system, this could be really a winner - but I bet that this one will use DFD.

Based on this new info, I guess that will be a GX9 with flippy screen and mic input. The resolution of the EVF looks like a mistake, it is the same EVF resolution as the XT4 ,G9 and Z6, I doubt that Panasonic would put a top OLED evf in this price range. But it probably uses DFD, which will make the camera DOA for the vlogger crowd. Even more if it retains the extra 4k crop from the GX9. But if they have a PDAF or Tof AF system with no crop, even not being a vlogger I will be VERY interested in this one (but I still think that Panasonic will not do it, they only listen to the GHx line consumers).

Still think that it is a G95/G90/G91 (fuck this nomenclature, Panasonic) replacement, since it was kind of a disapointment (maybe not so much in real use - thought the same about the GX85/GX9, but since I've got the GX9 my opinions changed). I could guess that the sensor will be the same, and 4k now is not cropped (but probably no 4k60). Could have HLG too, and log with a paid upgrade, and a slightly improved IBIS. The best hope is a PDAF /Tof AF - the Gxx and GX line usually shows first some techs that will be used in future GH cameras, like IBIS. Indeed, a G95 with PDAF and no crop would be a very interesting camera.

Just released, only in non-speedbooster option, at least for now. http://www.viltrox.com/en/index.php?m=index&a=show&cid=151&id=290 Still don't have the lens compatibility list, but since there is a F to E-mount prior version, and the Viltrox firmware usually cover the same lens between their various similar adapters, probably will be this: http://www.viltrox.com/en/index.php?m=index&a=show&cid=149&id=208

Suggested to Roger that, since Sony cameras are not great in heat management, the plastic holding part could fracture by expansion / contraction because of the heat. He said that it is a good point. The plastic part looks very well surrounded by metal, very unlikely that the fracture would occur by mechanical impact or stress.

Already have decided to leave Brazil after the unavoidable recession diminishes (impossible to live in a country where 30% of the population support inconditionally a genocide president that have ties with organized crime), probably someday we will arrange a meeting between these cameras.

Still have my GH2 here, even with the original packaging. But since I've forgot to sell it when it was pricier, now will keep it, forever probably.

Cinema5D made a good video (with settings explained), although the color grade is not of my tastes. https://***URL not allowed***/olympus-e-m10-iii-sample-footage-and-exclusive-first-impressions/

Fuji already had the perfect solution for the screen in the XT-100 - tilt and flip mechanism (the Panasonic S1H have an improved approach), and ditched it.

Thinking about have some Fuji taste, with an XT-30; anybody have good stabilization samples with the 18-55 f/2.8-4 kit lens? (sorry for the off topic)

Looks like Canon sold its cripple hammer in eBay.

I've got the Panasonic original one, but will get a Vello / JJC (they looks the same). The grip in the original one looks like a lot one, but you have to remove it to change the battery or the SD card.

Sometimes I miss my GX7. Front grip is MILES better than the GX85/GX9 ones, larger and softer. AF/MF switch with a very good button on center for back-button AF. And the more "rounder" design is much more attactive to me than the newer ones. Only problem was the DISP button - it was easily pressed by the "base" of your thumb. a problem solved in the GX85 / GX9. And the shutter sound, was like a scissor closing - liked it but kind of loud. But I miss it.

Have the E-M10 III, have to use it more extensively. The X-H1 IBIS is ok?

Second that. The Blade Runner video made me crazy about the GH2, got one barely used at a good price...and with it started my love of photography and video. Still have the GH2 here, failed to sell it when it was still valuable...now bought a cheap Viltrox 5 inch monitor to use as focus peaking viewer. Most of the videos made it it are garbage, because I did not have good lenses at the time, heheheh. Interesting, some of the concerts stills that I've got with the GH2 now I think that are some of the best that I've taken - and GH2 arguably was not a good low light camera. The pictures from a Bruce Springsteen concert taken with a Can on FD 135mm f/2.5 are the most organic still that I've taken (and remember, no IBIS...). Miss you covering cheap gear and extracting the best of it, Andrew.

Remember to use the FM codec, AM codec have a lot of noise.

I've heard that the Sony drug could only be used in arctic countries because it overheats in 5 minutes at moderate temperatures. And the the Panasonic one was very good to kill the virus, but only in stationary cells (the drug could not focus the virus in moving ones).

@EmanuelMan, last thing that I need to see is more things about Brazil, hehehe. If americans think that Trump is crazy, our psychotic president is saying "hold my beer". Bipartisan wars here, at the expense of peoples lives. A beloved friend of mine (and a lot of other people) snapped and went crazy because of insane bot propaganda and fake news from both sides of the political spectrum. If fact I'm fed up of this country, when the incoming world recession that will come in the next years pass, my plan (already was thinking about it before the virus) is to leave Brazil and raise my daughter in a less stupid country (and one that treat women at least with a minimum respect). Portugal is the number one option, by the way. Not as much because of the same (or very similar ) language, but most because my wife have Portuguese citzenship and I fucking love Portugal.

An used GX85 with the @BTM_Pix Cinelike D hack and a good LUT is an interesting option. Used mine with Leeming LUT, color are MUCH better than stock profiles.

I guess that fucking a bat is not the easiest task in the world. :)
