Pre-order new Panasonic GX9 iLC and ZS200 RAWzoomer
“Gooooooooooooool!” says the soccer TV announcer as another mirrorless camera gets revealed in 2018. The Panasonic GX9 is the fourth new mirrorless camera of 2018 [see New Cameras of 2018 tracker], while the ZS200 is the first RAWsumer of the year (fixed lens camera with native RAW out of the box). Both of these new Panasonics are now available for pre-ordering as follows:
+ Panasonic GX9 with 12-60mm for $998 at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself
