It has been almost six years since Panasonic released the original G9, but that was back when six years was a normal time between camera cycles. By today's standards, that is an age to wait. However, for Panasonic, this means that the Panasonic Lumix G9 II is actually a fullyfledged upgrade from the first model that you can genuinely get excited about.
With Panasonic's recent focus on its full-frame cameras, with the well-received Panasonic Lumix S5 II and the growing number of L-Mount Alliance members, many were speculating that Panasonic might be phasing out its Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lineup. Panasonic and Olympus were the pioneers of the MFT sensor and mount, pushing it as a solution to achieve high-quality images with smaller cameras such as the technical marvel of the Panasonic GM1 and, judging by this release, Panasonic is certainly not ready to give up on the format just yet. With the advantages it brings to video as well as those genres of photography where having a 2x crop factor brings its own benefits, Panasonic clearly still sees potential in the market.
