A Ford Model T is a precursor to a Ford Mustang but that doesn't mean they share anything between them. I meant modern mirrorless cameras - e.g. Leica SL. Just as how the RX1was basically a dress rehearsal for the sony a7, the Q was the precursor to the SL series, Leica said as much.
I don't really care about how much Panasonic is in a camera but comparing the D-Lux 8 to the Q3 28mm or 43mm is not relevant at all. As for the components in the D-Lux 8 - the sensor as well, which is probably more important than the lens here, - there's a significantly improved 26mp sensor in the G9 II with phase detect AF. To me all the other changes are just window dressing - at its core, it's a camera from 2018.
The point was that your statement was false. The Model T B.S. doesn't hold validity in the context of that. I don't even know where that is coming from, or where you are going with that. Unless it is just the distraction it appears to be.
If you do the research it is not at all clear that the sensor is exactly the same. There is evidence in both documentation, and in preference data that suggests otherwise. Personally I am not sure about that. But what is clears is that it looks like every other major component of the camera is new. Unless of course you can name one that isn't. That doesn't seem "lazy" to me is all.
It is interesting that you mention the G9II as an upgrade when the previous G9 sensor actually had better dynamic range...
