In an interview with Photoradar, Panasonic’s Director of DSC Business unit Ichiro Kitao confirmed their plans to split the Lumix GF line into consumer and professional cameras. Lately Panasonic was criticized that their new models had less functionality/controls than their predecessors. In the case of the GF3, a new GF model aimed at experienced photographers will be released in the future (no exact date was given).
Kitao also confirmed that Panasonic will concentrate next on bringing out a successor to the GH2 and their main challenge is improving the EVF.
