CP+ interview with Panasonic

Dpreview published their CP+ interview with Panasonic executives. Here is the recap courtesy of 43addict:

GH5 was designed for photos/video, GH5S for video, and G9 for photos
Panasonic decided on contrast AF with DFD when they made the GH4 because PDAF pixels can damage image quality
There are no plans to go PDAF
Panasonic can improve their contrast AF with DFD
Panasonic might make more fixed lens large sensor cameras in the future
They spent the last 3 years building up their video capabilities and now with the G9 they are starting to build up their stills
Panasonic wants respect for video and stills capabilities
