My venerable G7 can record unlimited time in AVCHD ...(and also 4K with hack) ... does anybody please can confirm if the G9 can also record unlimited in AVCHD ? ... I'm thinking on upgrade my camera ...

Regards

I have a Lumix G9. I purchased it here in New Zealand where I am now living (previously in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico). So I conducted a test. Because this is a PAL country I was only able to select 50p AVCHD and not 60p. I can report the camera shut down after 29minutes and 59 seconds, as promised in the advanced operator’s manual, and on the screen momentarily appeared “Recording Stopped Because Limits Exceeded”. I can also report that the camera remained as cool as a cucumber. I was shooting at comfortable room temperature (not dry season on the sunny side of the street in SMA).

I hope that helps.

Cheers...
