We just barely got our unsteady mitts on the approaching Lumix G1, yet already Panasonic is teasing with commodity of a successor, currently dubbed the "G." It uses the G1's same micro four thirds body design, ditching the mirror and optical viewfinder in favor of case slimness, but adds a stereo microphone on top and record button on back for high-def video capture -- rare stuff on a user digi-cam with a replaceable lens. No word on price or availability, but given the G1 isn't slated to hit Japan until October we wouldn't expect this one until occasional next year. Meanwhile, if you tend to prefer photoplay of the non-moving variety, LetsGoDigital also has some test images taken by a pre-release G1. The 640x480 snaps themselves aren't either to get too excited about (unless you're a Formula One fan), but do prove that the camera can indeed take pictures.
