Panasonic Japan announced the new Lumix G100D (Source DC.watch).. It’s basically the same as the current G100 but with two differences:

• It has a new 2.36 million dots OLED with 0.74x magnification
• And a new USB Type-C USB 2.0 port

I don’t know when this model will be announced outside of Japan. A bit underwhelming they didn’t add some mew new features…
