Comparing relative image sizes between the Lumix G9 (left) and the Nikon D850 (right). Click to enlarge
Damien Demolder compared the Panasonic G9 High resolution mode vs the results of the probably best Full Frame camera on the market, the Nikon D850.
I compared 80MP files from the Lumix G9 with the 45MP files from the Nikon D850 and found that the G9 images really do contain a lot more detail though whether there is almost twice as much could be debated.

There is also a new extended G9 preview at CameraJabber. And new image samples at ePhotozine.

ePhotozine posted the full Panasonic G9 review:
The price of the Panasonic Lumix G9 puts it in to the professional area of the market, rather than enthusiastic amateur, and this could put some buyers off. However, there will be those that have the money and are happy to spend it on the camera, once the range of features available has been taken into consideration.
Noise performance is very good up to ISO3200, and it’ll be down to your own image needs whether you want to shoot at ISO6400. Colour reproduction is very pleasing, with good JPEG images produced straight out of the camera, with little or no need for additional editing. This will be particularly beneficial if you’re using one of the high speed shooting modes, as it will help speed up your workflow.
You can shoot at up to 60fps, using the electronic shutter, or up to 20fps with continuous AF, however, the camera will only take 50 photos before it stops shooting. If you shoot using the mechanical shutter, you can shoot at 12fps, and can take an impressive 600 photos! We were also impressed with the camera’s rapid and accurate focus for both fast moving subjects, and portraits.
The Panasonic Lumix G9, is one of the fastest shooting cameras available, and is available at a very competitive price point, being around £300 less than the E-M1 Mark II. If you need this kind of speed, or want to try it, then there’s not much that comes close to the performance of these two cameras. The G9 is also great to use, with the controls and menus neatly arranged, making it quick and easy to change settings, so that you don’t having to spend time studying the manual. The top LCD screen means you can quickly see your camera settings without having to hold the camera in front of you.
And Dpreview addded the Panasonic G9 to their studio scene comparison:
