There is finally new life in the Micro Four thirds World: Lumix G9II will be announced on September 12

Panasonic launched this teaser for a September 12 announcement. And the teaser is super clear with their hints:

  • This is a Micro Four Thirds “G” camera
  • the “new phase” means this will be Panasonic first MFT camera with phase detection AF
  • Announcement on September 12 at 22:00 Peking time (That’s 3pm London time).

I am pretty certain we will get a new G9II. Hopefully this will revive some enthusiasm in the MFT realm!
