Panasonic Lumix GH7 leaks - video-centric G9 II to bring PDAF to hybrid M4/3 champion on June 5

[Redaktion]

New leaks point to the Panasonic Lumix GH7 as the camera maker's next high-end Micro Four Thirds launch on June 5, giving aspiring videographers and hybrid shooters something to look forward to. Leaks suggest the GH7 will have the same internals as the Lumix G9 II, but with better cooling for long video record limits. It will allegedly also be compatible with the Lumix Lab app for Panasonic's new LUT ecosystem.

Crazy Panasonic has brought the GH line to a dead end. The camera once weighed less than 400g(GH2) and 900g along with a 14-140 lens.

Frankenstein GH6, weighs 820g+ just the camera without a lens and this disgrace can't even shoot 8k@60fps.

At the same time, they now also promise a huge cooler...

What's next? Weight is 1 kg in micro 4/3?!

Why all this and who needs it?

It honestly seems kind of like Panasonic doesn't really care about M4/3 anymore. Not that a corporation can care about something, I guess... But they've neglected the GX line-up, the G100 is a bit of a joke (although a good entry-level camera), and the G9 II is literally just a full-frame body with a small sensor. At least we still have OM System piloting the reanimated corpse of Olympus, although USB micro B in a 2022/23 camera body (OM-5) is shameful.

This is what the GH6 should have been, when GH6 launched after a 5 year+ wait and all we got was a minor upgrade, that being said we've been waiting even longer on a new GX & GM camera.... Panasonic need a new GX camera even more badly than it needed a new GH series cam

The quality of developments in companies is determined by people, a creative and well-educated, sane layer of engineers and managers. Capable of defending their principles and positions. New generations think only about the amount of money that will appear in their pocket regularly and about options. Everything else is secondary to them. Ultimately, when all the management is rotten and the beneficiaries don't care, the company dies. Now almost all large companies are essentially zombie companies that are eating up the remnants of their former greatness, gradually burning out inside.
