Our reader Finitas sent me this:
Trustworthy German blogger mentioned that a Panasonic GH7 might be out this year. He said it would be the only MFT camera coming out this year.
A firmware 1.6 for OMDS OM-1 and later a 2.0 with new functions could also come this year.
No idea who this blogger is…but I hope he is right :)
I got a super wild rumor (Thanks to the source!) claiming that the Panasonic G9II will be announced the the IFA in Berlin. I got no specs other than the rumor that this will be the first Panasonic MFT camera with phase detection autofocus.
If you have some more info please drop me a message at 43rumors@gmail.com or use the anonymous contact box. Thanks!
Some Japanese stores marked the G9 as discontinued. I really do hope the rumors about a new G9II coming soon are true!
It’s rumored that in late 2023 OM Digital will announced those two new zooms:
Both are compatible with the MC-14 and MC-20 teleconverters and both are IP sealed. But I am not sure about the IS feature. For now it looks like the 50-200mm has in lens stabilziation while the 50-250mm might NOT have it.
To recap what we can expect the next months. I believe those three products will be announced within the next 3-4 months:
Probably also one more OM camera is coming too. Don’t know if Panasonic also plans to announce new MFT lenses…
I got first serious “proof” that a new G9II (or whatever the name will be) is coming “very soon”. The source is very important so unless he is fooling me…the G9 successor is coming within a couple of months!
I have no info on the possible specs yet but surely it will have phase detection AF!
