The G9II features a 25.2MP sensor, a 3.69M-dots EVF with 0.78x magnification, a 3.0-in. 1.84M-dot Vari-angle Touch LCD, Continuous Shooting at 60fps (electronic shutter)/10fps (mechanical shutter) in Continuous AF mode, 113 shots pre-burst recording, 5-axis 8 stops IBIS, 100MP handheld High Resolution mode, and dual SD (UHS-II) card slots. It also records 5.8K/30p and C4K/4K 120p video.

Although Panasonic wants us to think of the G9II as principally a stills camera, the truth of the matter is that the G9II has practically all the neat video features of the video-centric GH6, making it an ideal hybrid photo/video mirrorless camera.
