I just got this:

“V.MODE Button on the G9’s viewfinder is there to change the size of the viewfinder between 3 different magnification levels.
With the increased size of the viewfinder you can sometimes find yourself scanning the edges. With the smaller magnification options it gives users the option to have a smaller preview without needing to scan the edges when shooting.”

the announcement will happen soon at 9am London time!

One more leak before the G9 announement at 9am London time. This is a “real life” picture of the G9 (we only saw standard product pictures yet).

UPDATE: A trusted soruce just told us the G9 does NOT use a multi-aspect sensor:

The sensor in the G9 is the exact same size and dimensions of the GH5 sensor and every MFT sensor before it.

We are only hours away from the G9 and 200mm announcement (November 8 at 9am London time). You know you can follow the live blogging here on 43rumors :)

Our reader Miemo made this G9 vs GH5 size comparison:

If this comparison is accurate the body is both wider and the grip larger on the new G9.

This post has been updated:

Our reader Kesztió sent me this and speculated that the G9 might use a new multi-aspect sensor. But a trusted soruce just told us the G9 does NOT use a multi-aspect sensor:

The sensor in the G9 is the exact same size and dimensions of the GH5 sensor and every MFT sensor before it.

Thismeans his speculation is wrong. But I will keep his following text becuse the idea would have been great:

Dear Admin,
Here comes a possible explanation about this really weird and widely discussed sensor aspect ratio of the upcoming Panasonic G9.

(fig. 1)

This sensor is indeed a multi aspect ratio one, large enough to house not just all the landscape modes (4:3, 16:9) but the system’s default portrait mode (4:3, actually 3:4) as well!

The math behind this assumption is really simple.

Consider the image circle radius of 1 unit (for the sake of simplicity). In this case the sensor would have the following ratio: 2a / 2b = a/b.

You can calculate both a and b from the Pythagorean theorem:

(fig. 2)

This almost-square ratio is quite close to the one you can measure based on the leaked image.

Finally, you can use a mirrorless camera in portrait mode without rotating the camera itself! This might also explain the insanely big magnification of the EVF (0.83), which might be necessary to have a big portrait live view as well.

Too nice to be true, isn’t it?

According to our sources the Panasonic G9 body price should be around 200 Euro/Dollar lower than the one of the GH5. I should get the final pricing info soon but expect something around $1,700-$1,800. A site in Norway listed the 200mm f/2.8 price for a converted price of $3,900. But this is NOT the real us price which is expected to be lower. Exact pricing info will be posted soon stay tuned.
