Make USB-C Connectors Standard For All Future Cameras

Submitted 6 years ago

I notice the latest Lumix G9 camera still has the traditional micro-USB connection for battery charge/power supply. That is very disappointing. The micro-USB was never a good design.. it has proven to be unreliable, easily broken if the cord is inadvertently pulled, and is a pain o put in with a 50/50 chance of getting it the right way around if not clearly visible (eg in low light or user has poor eyesight). No wonder the far better USB-C type was developed, and is the way of the future. But why oh why was the new type not used on the new G9?! The old micro-USB can still be used via an adapter if needed, but not incorporating the new C type on a new product is very short sighted. Please, get it right next time! Thank you.
