I'm not worried about fixed lens, especially since it's a sufficiently fast zoom lens. The bummer for me with the X100 VI series was that 35mm equivalent can feel a little cramped for tourist photos indoors - and the GFX 100RF isn't all that portable (for being a 44x33mm sensor, quite small, but enormous compared with an ZV-1). Giving me a 24mm equivalent for indoors is great - and f/5.6 equivalent at 75mm should make for portraits with backgrounds just blurry enough to separate the subject from the background without converting the background into a toneh-esque watercolor painting with blobs of green and blue in place of trees and water. It's pretty similar to the focal ranges for the ZV-1 which, overall, is still fantastic today - but I'd really prefer 10-bit recording to 8-bit... and I'd gladly trade a little bit of body size for a battery that lasts a little longer. Mostly, I'd see this as a "better than my phone" option to throw in a pocket when traveling - and that I could more easily bring out with me in places with high rates of gear theft and use without being too overt - and with a form factor that feels both more robust and more comfortable/ergonomic to use than the Pocket 3. -
A mix of two glass, Schneider cinelux front and Moller 32 on the rear. Taking lens was a Soviet Vega 20mm C mount -
Yes, the price is a bit high, but if you can wait, these things tend to drop quite quickly. I’ll be wanting the titanium one. Quite fancied that for the S9 but as I already had one, wasn’t going to trade just to get it, but if I’d had that choice from scratch… GH7 sensor + S1II processor in a tiny body… OK, fixed lens but it’s pretty decent. It’s not a ‘pro’ camera as such but one I think pros can have fun with which was exactly how they billed the OG GF1 in what was it, 2008/09? That was interchangeable lens but I drank that Cool Aid and bought one. -

Just looking at the specs for this on B&H, it seems beyond exciting. It's almost like someone from Panasonic is reading our messages on this forum and paying attention to what we'd want! At $1,500, I'm not a buyer, but between $1,000-1,200 on the used market or on sale, I'll definitely become more interested. Maybe some vendor will give a deal on a trade-in for my Sony ZV-1 that I still have kicking around here somewhere. -
Still smaller than an S9 but uses the same battery, which is good, as I have a ton of the things! It’s not going to be a bit of kit for long takes, especially in high heat, but I would mostly be doing 10-15 seconds with the odd 1-2 minutes, so should all be good.
