I've been impressed with C-AF in the G9 with both the P-L 12-35/2.8 v!,

Yes, me too.  I don't usually use c-af for my videos but earlier this year I used it to film my daughter at some of her horse lessons and it did well tracking her as she rode towards and away from me. Since then, I used its face tracking AF for some birthday videos and it worked pretty well in that scenario, too.  Although I think I should've used tracking AF so it stuck with a singe person's face.

There's definitely an huge improve in AF vs. my GX7, G85 and GX9.

And the G9's low light performance is flat amazing in both stills and video. Below is link to short 4K60p video in my studio with very dimmed lighting - corners barely visible to naked eye - ISO 10,000, 12-35@ 35mm, f/2.8, 1/30 sec, demonstrating C-AF that for the most part is accurate with minimal pulsation in a range of 2-20'. Also absent is any trace of macro-blocking in shadows, with a fine-grain pattern, and the ability to produce a true photographic black of (R,G,B 0,0,0) in captured frames - thus excellent colors for the situation, as well as very good detail. At least 1 EV improvement over GH5 in IQ...

Wow, that's very impressive!
