Panasonic GF9 pictured above. The Panasonic GF10 pictures could leak at any time and I will update this post if they do in the next day or so.

Nokishita received a tip about the new Pansonic GX9 and Panasonic DC-TZ200 being tested internally at Panasonic.
Since it seems to be an in-house test, it is unknown when it will be announced, but it seems that GX 9 and TX 1 successor are being developed.
Photons to Photos is one of the best places to get non-bias dynamic range information about all types of cameras and they recently started testing high-resolution shot mode on cameras. Their latest testing of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, Olympus OM-D M5 Mark II, and Olympus PEN-F proves that sensor shift technology can help m43 compete with full frame cameras, but will the technology ever get fast enough to hand hold? You can manipulate the results here if you are interested. It’s good to see this technology isn’t just a gimmick and it adds dynamic range in addition to resolution on m43 cameras.

E-PL9 has a grip shape changed from E-PL8, it seems that a pop-up flash is built in the left shoulder. On the rear side, the button arrangement does not seem to have changed, but the accessory port seems to be omitted.

MDPI Special Issue on the 2017 International Image Sensor Workshop publishes Panasonic paper “A Real-Time Ultraviolet Radiation Imaging System Using an Organic Photoconductive Image Sensor” by Toru Okino, Seiji Yamahira, Shota Yamada, Yutaka Hirose, Akihiro Odagawa, Yoshihisa Kato, and Tsuyoshi Tanaka.
“We have developed a real time ultraviolet (UV) imaging system that can visualize both invisible UV light and a visible (VIS) background scene in an outdoor environment. As a UV/VIS image sensor, an organic photoconductive film (OPF) imager is employed. The OPF has an intrinsically higher sensitivity in the UV wavelength region than those of conventional consumer Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors (CIS) or Charge Coupled Devices (CCD). As particular examples, imaging of hydrogen flame and of corona discharge is demonstrated. UV images overlapped on background scenes are simply made by on-board background subtraction. The system is capable of imaging weaker UV signals by four orders of magnitude than that of VIS background. It is applicable not only to future hydrogen supply stations but also to other UV/VIS monitor systems requiring UV sensitivity under strong visible radiation environment such as power supply substations.”
