Like the same model overseas, only the rear monitor has been updated, and other specifications seem to remain the same as the G99. It’s a pity that the slightly old-fashioned 49-point contrast AF/4K 30p has been left untouched. It’s annoying because the LUMIX G9 PRO is considerably cheaper.

The TX2D is the same, and it seems that the LCD monitor on the back has been changed from 1.24 million dot liquid crystal to 1.84 million dot liquid crystal. The resolution of the liquid crystal is quite high here, so there may be a slight difference in definition compared to the old model.
