ePhotozine posted these G7 vs G6 size comparison images. The G7 really looks completely different from every angle. I like them both :)

Petri: “I have recently started to write blog, because so many people have complimented my photography (especially portrait work, which I often do in B&W). So far very humble blog has only 2 photography related posts, but I will be adding soon much more. Unlike most people I have ceased to use Adobe LR & PS entirely. I use DxO photo suite for everything. You can see some of my Olympus OM-D E-M5 photos at:

Quesabesde and ePhotozine got info from Panasonic about their 8K plans. ePhotozine writes:

“Panasonic announced plans for future 4K and 8K video and photo features, including 4K at 60fps and 120fps, as well as the ability to take 33 megapixel still images from 8K video footage. They say they are planning to have this technology ready for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games. No further information was given at the time.“

It’s very likely the GH5 will not be that first 8K camera. More like the GH6 or another High End model coming between 2017 and 2020. The GH5 is set to be released in 2016 already!
