Totally unconfirmed Panasonic FF specs coming soon on 43rumors

Just a heads up:

Over the weekend I got the possible Panasonic FF specs from a completely anonymous source. I was not able to verify the rumor with trusted sources. I will therefore post them on 43rumors at 12:00 London time with a low ranked FT2 mark.
I hope my trusted sources will be able to shortly after tell me if the info is correct or not.

Readers should please know these specs are yet unverified ok?

Thanks

Yannick:I did this video to test the G9’s capabilities. I combined handheld shooting with a long focal length, all shots with autofocus, in 4K 60p, in cinelikeD and graded.
Autofocus in v1.1 is quite good in one area and face detection. Not perfect but definetly usable compared to like 1 year ago.
Not so many cameras can do all this at once when you think about it ! Enjoy
