Richard Wong had a chat with the CEO of TTartisan. He confirmed that there will be new autofocus MFT lenses coming soon!

It really appears to be just an Olympus TG6 with OM logo on it. Only the grip seems to be a bit different. The camera will be announced within a couple of hours.

At 3pm London time Panasonic will announce the G9II and two new lenses. I already leaked most specs but here is some last minute addition detail:

• 25.2MP sensor is the SAME used by the GH6.
• Twice the readout speed of the G9
• pre-Burst of up to 1,5 sec (100 images!) The G9 had 0,4 sec pre-Burst
• autofocus works up to -6EV (G9 hat -4EV)
• Camera weight is 658g
• The new DMW-BG1E  battery grip is compatible with the S5II and S5IIx

That’s the pricing for the new camera and lenses in the UK:

• Lumix G9 II Body £1699.00
• Grip for Lumix G9 II £309.00
• LUMIX Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 35-100mm f2.8 Power OIS £1099.00
• LUMIX LEICA DG Vario-Elmar 100-400MM f4/6.3 II ASPH Power OIS £1499.00

So it’s priced just like the Fuji X-T5 in the UK.

This is the Google translated presentation text…please be aware there might be some errors because this page appears to be “work in progress”:

I got some additional G9II images I published in my latest video. Now let’s hope that new 25.2 Megapixel sensor will bring some exciting image quality bump!
