G9 II Review by PcMag: “top pick for vloggers and photographers alike thanks to its excellent sensor, exceptional controls, and accurate phase detect focus system.”

PcMag published the G9II review and concluded:
Panasonic has a reputation for making fantastic mirrorless cameras for video, but it hasn’t always delivered the all-around performance hybrid creators demand. The G9 II is a clear step forward from the original G9. Its picture quality, subject recognition autofocus, and ergonomics are on par with competitors, and its video toolkit is downright impressive. We’re also fans of the large library of quality Micro Four Thirds lenses from first- and third-party manufacturers. The Canon EOS R7 is still our favorite for action, sports, and wildlife pursuits and the OM-1 stays truer to the Micro Four Thirds ethos with a slimmer body and stronger computational photography features, but the G9 II’s balanced, do-it-all approach earns it our Editors’ Choice award in this premium crop-sensor segment.

Reminder: There is a Sony 47MP MFT sensor that OM Digital and Panasonic could use on future products
Back in 2019 Sony released the full presentation of the IMX492 sensor with 23,1mm diagonal (the MFT sensor has a 22.5 mm diagonal). The sensor has following key specs:
– 47MP multi-aspect sensor (41MP in 4:3 mode and 35MP in 17:9)
– Exmor R tech with electronic shutter
– Has 8k30p recording (in 17:9. In 4:3 it’s 25p)
– 2.315μm Pixel Size for both the Bayer and Monochrome sensor version
Still this sensor has found no use in any OM Digital and Panasonic camera yet. I do believe it would be nice for once to have something different than the usual 20MP resolution. So will we get this 47MP camera in 2024?
