We also have rumors related to a Panasonic entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera with an L-mount.

Recently announced Panasonic 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO OIS [B&H Store] does not have outstanding optical performance. Take a look at what Petapixel said about this lens
The new Panasonic 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Macro OISsuper zoom is clearly designed to be a jack-of-all-trades that doesn’t really excel in any optical categories. It’s also fairly slow, which limits its usefulness in darker situations.

Take a look at the Major Points of the Review
Weighing only 413g, this lens is extremely lightweight, yet it maintains an easy-to-handle 67mm filter diameter. The downside of its compact size is that the aperture value is relatively dark at F4-7.1, which can pose a problem when shooting in low-light conditions.
The lens barrel is small, resulting in simple controls that are well-crafted. The zoom ring has a suitable weight, preventing the lens from extending when you carry it around.
The image stabilization is highly effective, allowing handheld shooting at 200mm even with a slow shutter speed. The balance of the lens is also commendable.
The autofocus (AF) performs well, swiftly focusing from long to short distances.
There is a ghosting issue when shooting against the light, with colored speckled ghosts appearing at any aperture value. While this effect might look interesting for video, it’s quite noticeable and often undesirable for most still shots.
The lens flares are dim and lack drama. Overall, this lens does not perform well when shooting into the sun, so it’s advisable to avoid shooting directly into the sun or other bright light sources if possible.
The close-up performance is excellent, allowing 1:2 shooting at the wide-angle end. However, the working distance at this point is so short that you could almost touch the subject. If you prefer to maintain a working distance, 200mm provides sufficient magnification for close-up photography.
The resolution is decent, with good center detail at 28mm. However, it improves significantly if you stop down, so it’s recommended to do so whenever possible. The 200mm end yields similar results to the 28mm, but the edges are even softer. Due to strong distortion correction, the corners are soft regardless of the aperture.
Despite being a dark lens, it can blur the background at close range. There is some vignetting in the bokeh, but there is no onion ring blur. However, there is pronounced bubble bokeh, which makes the background blur quite busy.
Focus breathing is almost non-existent at 200mm, and very slight at 28mm.
The 28-200mm F4-7.1 is designed as an all-purpose zoom and does not excel in any particular category. Also, due to the large F value, there are limitations when using it in low-light conditions. However, it meets its portability and convenience goals, making it very appealing. It’s also a handy video lens and a macro lens, and these two features make it a sensible choice for those seeking a versatile lens for the L mount. In this respect, I believe this lens is useful despite its shortcomings.
Should you buy this lens? Perhaps. The 28-200mm F4-7.1 may be a good option if you prioritize convenience over performance.

New Sensor and New Engine Boasting Outstanding Photographic Performance
PDAF technology implemented in LUMIX G Series for the First Time
Flagship Micro Four Thirds Model for Still Images with Improved High-Speed Performance and Ergonomics
Newark, NJ (September 12, 2023) – Panasonic is proud to announce the launch of the LUMIX G9II digital mirrorless camera, equipped with a new sensor and Phase Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF) technology. The LUMIX G9II is the first camera in the Micro Four Thirds LUMIX G Series to feature PDAF technology.
In line with the growing need to produce highly creative artwork and photography using diverse methods, this new model creates high-resolution, high-quality images and rich colors straight out of camera. Furthermore, with a new auto-focus technology that combines Panasonic’s accumulated expertise in recognition technology with PDAF, and a high-speed burst shooting mode that ensures decisive moments are always captured, this new model boasts significantly improved power and high-speed performance. The camera supports photographers from various fields using a system that can be combined with the compact and lightweight LUMIX G Micro Four Thirds lenses for ultimate flexibility.
The new 25.2-megapixel Live MOS Sensor and new engine produce high-resolution images in outstanding quality with rich color tones, while the hybrid PDAF technology enables accurate auto-focus and high-speed tracking of fast-moving subjects. Moreover, burst shooting at 60 fps in AFC mode and SH pre-burst recording*1 that begins before the shutter is released ensures that the decisive moment is always captured, even with dynamically moving subjects.
LUMIX’s popular image stabilization system is further improved, combining 8-stop*2 B.I.S. (Body Image Stabilizer), 7.5-stop*3 5-axis Dual I.S. 2, and advanced Active I.S. for incredible video image stabilization. Together, these functions provide even greater support for handheld shooting of dynamic scenes that would previously have been difficult to capture. In addition, creators can enjoy enhanced monochrome photo styles with new LEICA Monochrome and REAL TIME LUT for preferred color settings. Through this next-generation digital mirrorless camera, Panasonic intends to respond to the needs of creators who are pursuing methods of creative expression that go beyond the boundaries of photography and videography.
