PhotonsToPhotos tested the G9 sensor performance. And it shows the best Panasonic performance yet. It only gets slightly beaten by the Olympus E-M1II.

Techinsights confirmed what we already suspected: The new Panasonic GH5s features a Sony sensor with the code “IMX299CJK”.
What may be interesting is that this sensor is actually not exactly the same as the one listed for sale on Sony’s website and named “IMX294CJK”. Probably means Panasonic made his own “tweaks” for their version.

Cinema5D tested the new Panasonic FT7:
The Panasonic LUMIX FT7 is certainly a rugged outdoor travel companion that can do it all, whether you take it to the mountain, a sandy beach or underwater. But can it do it well? It sells for about $450, which is a considerable amount of money. For the price it offers a lot of features, great robustness, nice picture and colors out of the box, but I am still struggling somewhat to define the sweet spot and who it is for. A 40mm wide angle in 4k as a starting point, no lens filter thread, a viewfinder that leaves a lot to be desired and a rear LCD screen that barely can see in direct sunlight are quite limiting. In addition, the lens when zoomed in all the way to 128mm is quite soft. The underwater capabilities are nice but keep in mind the additional underwater telephoto effect.
