(FT4) Small G2 and G10 details from our sources
This is a small list of rumors we received from trusted sources:
FT3= rumor received from a single trusted source but (still to be confirmed by other sources)
FT5= confirmed by 2 or more of our very good sources
- Announcement on Sunday (9am London time) (FT5)
- The sensor is not the one of the GH1 (FT5)
- Panasonic G2 with tiltable touchscreen (FT5)
- Panasonic G10 with fixed screen (no touchscreen) (FT3)
- Both with ISO 6.400 (FT3)
- Both with 12 Megapixel sensor (FT3)
- Panasonic G2 with AVCHD 720p recording (FT3)
- Panasonic G10 with 720 motion JPG recording (FT3)
If someone can confirm that “rumored” spec or add more details please send us an email: 43rumors@gmail.com
Thanks!

3 years ago |Before the pictures leaked I did speculate that they have different form factors, remember the different silouettes on the original panasonic teaser. The compact looking one seemed too big for an actual compact. This would also explain that the G10 has fixed screen. But panasonic probably wouldn’t post fake images on their website…
Additionaly, one rumor here that a guy saw someone with a very small interchangeable lens camera let me think that the smaller one with fixed screen was the one with touch screen.
But my speculation seems wrong…

3 years ago |YES! This is more like it!!!
At last we know CLEARLY what the differences are between the 2 models.
Do your sources know if it is the G1/GF1 sensor?

3 years ago |Hey Hannes,
Was there clear pics of a G10 without swivel LCD? Because if not, maybe they only had a placeholder image.
The G2 is exactly what I was anticipating. Everyone wanted a bunch of fancy new tech, but that is impossible since it could not outdo the GH1 which is not due for replacement until late this year. The only real room for improvement was adding GF1-level video (which they outdid by adding 720p 60FPS), and supplemental features like touchscreen, better EVF, etc.
Since the G10 doesn’t have a flipscreen, maybe they can shrink the viewfinder bulge as well so there are no protrusions on the backside. And if they do that, maybe there’s room for some stylistic changes.
The G2 with 720p/60FPS will be pretty impressive IMO, the only downside is apparently reduced bitrate compared to same video on the GH1(?) 720p/60FPS video on the GH1 is awfully impressive looking.

3 years ago |Okay, looking at the G10 pic, you can’t see the backside but you can see that the viewfinder protrusion in the back is reduced. So that backside may be completely flat.
If so, then this model will be similar to the E-PL1 in size. If it is priced at $600, it will be pretty touch competition for the E-PL1 IMO with the much faster AF with OIS kit lens.

3 years ago |With reference to the Video on the G2 I believe it maybe the same as the GF1 as this also states 60fps but the sensor actually outputs 30fps.
If the G2 sensor outputs 60fps then ok it will be better video than the GF1.
I do wonder what pricing strategy they will deploy as currently you can purchase a GF1 body in the UK for around £440 or £390 with the £50 cashback offer. Now if the G2 is any more than say £550 then its looking pretty expensive for essentially a touchscreen?
As far as the G10 is concerned I have no idea what this camera is actually for or who it is aimed at unless it comes in under the GF1 pricing? Maybe £350?
Also as this is the fourth round as it were G1/GH1/GF1/G2 I wonder if they will allow body only purchases from the outset. I do hope so.

3 years ago |30FPS would seem more logical, given that’s what the GF1 could do with the same sensor.
Oh well, that’s still not bad.
With the G2 you are getting the great EVF over the GF1. The G10 will be the cheapest of all, and will compete against the E-PL1.
neilm
3 years ago |Yes I agree on the EVF and add in tiltable screen over the GF1 but how much extra would you pay for these options?
I just wonder when you can pick up a GF1 for around £400 body only why you would probably pay and I am guessing here £600 – £700 for a G2? How much is that touchscreen going to add?
However if its nearer the £500 – £575 price then maybe…its certainly going to be interesting to see what they do…

3 years ago |Hello Steve, the EP-l1 has in body stabilization on the sensor so no need for expensive OIS lenses…
