Ben:

I’ve just made a new video that may be of interest to your readers.  It’s a long-term, practical review of the Panasonic Lumix G9 based on real-world use.  I focus on how firmware 2.0 has made the camera a powerhouse for videographers, especially at it’s current price which is considerably lower than the popular GH5.  What’s great about this and other MFT cameras is that they never overheat, unlike newer and much more expensive alternatives from other brands ;)  I’ve also included lots of sample footage captured with the camera so people can get a good idea of it’s capabilities in the real world. youtube.com/watch?v=qlxhybrrVmE

Plenty of news on the facebook OMD group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.
