I've read through it... it has some interesting bits and pieces in it

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?

In the comments section of the review, RetiredFromLife posted:

"I have had a similar experience in a bad lighting situation with my G85. In a way I am glad you mentioned it as I thought I must have been seeing things that did not really happen."
