Panasonic interview at Dpreview: Clearly hints new LX200 is coming

Dpreview interviewed Panasonic managers at the Cp+ show. Here are a couple of take aways:

– Why the GH5 has no IBIS: “Professional shooters will prefer a multi-aspect sensor versus IBIS”
– Panasonic doens’t use phase detection pixels on sensor “because With phase detection AF, picture quality can be damaged”
– About a possible LX100 successor: “At this point, we can’t say when, but it is something that people are expecting.”

So yes folks, expect the LX200 to be announced in 2018 ;)
