Today Panasonic unveiled the successor to the DMC-GF3. Contrary to what you might expect, it's not called the DMC-GF4, but the Lumix DMC-GF5. Indeed, in Japanese culture, the number four is thought to cause bad luck because it is pronounced the same as the word for death (shi).
This new light-weight (225g) and very compact amateur hybrid camera features an optimized 12-megapixel sensor, Full HD video recording, a better-designed touchscreen, a new graphical user interface, ultra-rapid AF, etc.

My first comment and it's to correct grammar
"at risk from hungry competitors' eager to pickoff perspective Panasonic customers" should be 'prospective customers'

Should be, "My first comment, and it's to correct grammar". However, some spell checkers will still mark it as a fragment.

Yay.
Yay. Yet another iteration of the same damned camera. Really pushing boundaries there, eh Panasonic?
