It certainly looks like Panny is done with cheap and small m43 cameras.
On the other hand the latest GF models did ship with a pancake power zoom with AF, while the S9 throws in a cheap manual AF pancake. Perfect for your new PDAF camera body I'm sure.
A truncated and useless reincarnation, that lacks the shutter mechanism, a key factor in a digital camera that doesn't have a high readout sensor.
It's such a lost opportunity, like Sigma FP that also nobody bought from the same obvious reason!
Looks like reincarnation of GF cameras.
