Hi Scott

No, I haven't posted any video. I've had the GX9 less than a week, and only yesterday had a chance to start putting it through its paces.

I wasn't surprised that it doesn't do 4K 60p, only because it *seems* to have the processing power (it merges focus stacks and time lapse sequences very quickly, for instance, and also shoots 4K full size photos for long stretches)

I love the 4k from my Sony a99ii, and 30p is generally fine for what I do. We got the GX9 so that my wife would have a good camera that fits her, and I could use it for run-and-gun handheld stuff.

The dual stabilization is truly amazing, I've never used anything like it. It shines in video, where the 1080 footage doesnt look smooth-ISH the way it does on the Sony...but GIMBAL SOLID unless you trip on your cat's tail (don't ask me how I know

If I get a chance to shoot anything interesting in 1080 60p, I will post it and send you a link, ok?

Cheers,

Scot
