There are a few weird parts to this review, and I'd like to hear people with G9 where they stand on this:

  • "There were moments when the AF failed to lock focus, and then the EVF/LCD screen went completely black for a couple seconds, before returning to normal. I’m not sure what caused this temporary black-out, but I have not observed this with any other camera, not even with the other Panaosnic cameras I have used (LX100, GH4 and GM1). The EVF black-out happened only when the camera struggled to acquire focus repeatedly." - Did anybody experience that?

I had a couple of instances of focus racking-- I'm pretty sure I was trying to get AF on something on my desk closer than the minimum focus distance of the lenses -- where the AF was going back and forth without locking focus, and the EVF never went black.
