Yeah, I think it is an important addition, because although their DFD autofocus is excellent, lack of phase defect AF especially considering everyone else has it now has been damaging.
I don’t think they see a huge market for an affordable replacement GX8/GX9, but I hope they do. They have their vblogging focused camera the G100, if they update that with PDAF, higher res viewfinder and update the 20mm lens with faster focusing, that would be a banging camera in a tiny form factor.

Panasonic just released the S5ii which is their first camera with phase-detect autofocus. It's something people have been demanding of them for years. Hopefully it will be present in all of their future micro four thirds cameras too.
