Will we ever see an S9 with an EVF?

[pdk42]

I had a short dialogue with Matt at Lumix UK on FB:

You sent​

Yes Matt - thanks. If you have any input to the product planning, what I would say is that I'd buy an S9 with an EVF in a heartbeat!​

You sent​

Would be great to see Panasonic give the A7Cii / A7Cr a run for its money!​

​

Matt At Lumix UK​

Hi Paul,Understood! We have seen a lot of similar thoughts and has all been sent on ​

​

You sent​

I'll keep my fingers crossed then! ​

​

Matt At Lumix UK​

Ahahah! Don't cross them too hard though!​

Hardly a promise, but maybe a chink of light?

If anything, my impression is that Panasonic is doggedly slow. 2-3y ago everyone assumed they would abandon m43 or at best only do a GH. Many postulated they would drop out of FF entirely. Or at least never ever doa S1R successor. Just video centric. None of this happened. In fact, if you look back now, its astonishingly predictable. Only the S9 is a bit newish and different what some hoped for.

Long way to say: by now I assume they’ll eventually get there when everyone else has moved on but get there they will

Also would not be surprised if Leica adds an L Mount Rangerinnen Style. Maybe we get a LX/Dlux situation?

Yes, that's a good conclusion based on the evidence. But how long did it take Sony to bring out the Rx1R mk iii?

Interesting idea. Almost out-BF the BF !
