No words about the VF and AF yet

Looks more like a hotted up version of GX80 than an upgrade of GX8.

Seems to be a tiltable viewfinder but of the same size as GX80, but perhaps an oled vf?

I hope it's an OLED. I want deep blacks!

 

Seems very likely though - this is a GX after all.

Yep, hopefuly they have put better viewfinder in there. Although I am fine using one in GX80, it is clear state of the art today is a way further than what is in GX80. G7 OLED one is noticeably better, and it is far from newest technology available.


Not long till full specs come out, I reckon.

Body $ 999 - that is just between GX8 GX80

They should have named it GX90 instead of GX8. From the specs, it's more of an upgrade of the GX80 instead of the GX8:

• Same 20MP sensor as GX8
  
• Same crappy EVF as GX80
  
• Tiltable screen instead of fully articulated
  
• No weather sealing
  
• 4-stop IBIS (improvement to both GX8 and GX80)
  
• ...
  

As it stands, it is more a GX80 with 20MP than a GX8 successor. What a bummer :-(

Why does Panasonic persist in using this crappy 16:9 EVF panel from the GX7?

We're not in 2013 anymore...

Looks like a competitor to the Pen F. Most likely the same sensor....

[Klaus]

So they fucked it up ... 

 

No weather sealing, outdated viewfinder. Was that really so difficult, Panasonic?

Stil, nice pricing. Those $999 are including the Pana 12-60mm. That's almost cheap by today's standards.
