    Rumored Panasonic Lumix G9 ii with Phase Detect AF

    Well, I just went from 12mp to 20mp. It sounds like a lot, but another way to look at it is I'm going from 4000x3000 to 5184x3888. I'm gaining ~1000 pixels at the edges, not as impressive sounding as almost double the megapixels. I suppose if you do a lot of cropping, I That is where it pays...

    Rumored Panasonic Lumix G9 ii with Phase Detect AF

    That sounds awesome! And expensive. Finally, Panasonic tries to hit a home run. I know this was not possible without first releasing their full frame cameras. The 100-400 II might make the old line more affordable, which is good.

    Rumored Panasonic Lumix G9 ii with Phase Detect AF

    I've read several rumors now about at G9 mark ii with phase detect AF coming at the end of this 2023. Up till now, that was an Olympus exclusive for micro 4/3.
