For example regarding G9:

There is a video out where a regular user says it seems to be a real and significant upgrade of the focusing on the G9. Might be time for me to see if I can get my hands on it.

I found this among some clutter on the rumor site. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to link directly to this video on there so the link is to the Youtube location.
