Here are the full leaked specifications and pictures of the Panasonic LUMIX G9 II camera ahead of the official announcement. As previously reported, the new Panasonic LUMIX G9 II camera will have a new MFT sensor with a resolution of 25.2MP and will be equipped with phase AF on the sensor.
Along with the LUMIX G9 II camera, on September 13, Panasonic will also announce two revised Leica DG Vario-Elmarit zoom lenses; Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 35-100mm f/2.8 Power O.I.S and Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 100-400mm f/4.0-6.3 II ASPH Power O.I.S. – replacement for the current model (it will now work with a teleconverter and achieves an image scale of 1:2).
All new products will start shipping in November 2023. The Panasonic G9 price is around $899 for body-only. However the camera was listed as discontinued in Japan. Check availability at B&HPhoto.
Panasonic Lumix G9 II Specifications
- LUMIX G9II combines a newly developed 25.2MP Live MOS sensor, phase detection AF, and the latest image processing engine to faithfully preserve precious moments forever.
- The first phase detection hybrid AF in the LUMIX G series enables quick and accurate continuous shooting, and the highly evolved AF of the LUMIX G9II is also compatible with extreme sports, wildlife, cars and motorcycles.
- When using the electronic shutter, AF-C supports continuous shooting at 60fps (75fps when using AF-S), and continuous shooting for up to about 3 seconds, all while looking through the viewfinder. Furthermore, if you use the pre-continuous shooting function of LUMIXG9II, you can go back in time and take pictures.
- You can record photos and videos with the desired color gradation by applying LUT.
- 8.0 stops of BIS eliminates blur even with slow shutter speeds in low light. 5-axis dual IS2 with 7.5 stops provides powerful depiction stability even in the telephoto range.
- You can capture decisive moments in slow-motion video (C4K/4K 10-bit 120p/100p).
- The 8-way joystick allows you to intuitively select the focus area.
- The monitor is 1.84 million dots, tilt + vari-angle.
