[/shoplink] Image on top shows the [shoplink 52750 ebay]current G6[/shoplink].

Thanks to my trusted sources I can confirm with a 99,999% reliability that Panasonic will soon announce a new G6 successor! The camera should not pack any “revolutionary” new feature but rather become a robust updated camera. For example do not expect to get a new kind of sensor on that cam. The GX7 successor will follow as next and be announced sometimes around September.
