Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds LUMIX GF2 has been spotted in the wild – in poster form at least – by a French 43rumors tipster, who caught sight of the advert in Paris. The GF2 is expected to be officially announced at an event on Thursday, as the smallest mirrorless kit so far (when paired with the Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 lens.

Hardware specs are still unconfirmed, but the LUMIX GF2 is believed to have the 12-megapixel sensor from the Panasonic G2, and be capable of recording Full HD video. It's paired with a new imagine processor, while control of the camera is shifted to a new touchscreen display.
