Lumix S9 for mountaineering?

The S9 doesn't have any official weatherproofing, so if you anticipate harsh conditions out on the mountain that will defnitely be a consideration. While the build quality on the S9 is good, I wouldn't necessarily call it "rugged" by any stretch. If you're taking the camera out onto the mountain and

I like how so many people complain about overheating on the s1ii but they forgot almost every sony until recently does this as well

People just hate panasonic for no reason. Thats what I wrote. Plus a personal story how sony fools customers. Yeah the s5iix is a really robust camera.

Is it time to move on?

I moved on from Fujifilm last year and primarily use Panasonic Lumix now (S5IIX and S1RII). Quick thoughts off the top of my head: The IBIS is so much better. No weird wide-angle wobbles and no jerky corrections during camera movements. I love the color science. Fujifilm has great colors too and thi

Film Sim

I'm trying to sell my S9 at the moment so I am maybe not the best to ask. It's a great camera, don't get me wrong, but I own the S5IIX and bought another non-X variant because while it's bigger, the ergonomics and build quality are much better. I keep my S5IIX rigged up and plan on taking either my

Lens suggestions for S1ii (after moving from Fujifilm), Video + Photo in Large Scale Live Events

I was a Fuji X user for over 10 years, I moved to the Lumix.

Z5ii vs S5iix why Nikon?

It's always great to hear another person's experiences. Speaking specifically of native lenses (since I don't dive much into third-party due to color rendering), I think you've highlighted the main issue with Panasonic/Lumix, which is consistency. Their lenses can be excellent, but their quality con

Brainstorming for $6k

I was on a hiatus of 5+ years. Always owned Panasonic cameras as I just liked the look of the footage, the features, and the form factor. I got an S5iiX and it's been a fantastic camera. I'm not really sure that Canon is something I'd spend money on unless you were strictly a photographer. I don't t

S1 mark I lens for studio shoots and product photography

Howdy!! I'm like you, blessed with good deals on used panasonic gear (S1/S5iix and S9) !!! If you are not rushed in time, I would say wait to have a good deal on the panasonic prime lenses. I got their 50 and 85mm on the cheap, so I paid a third party price for a native lens (especially if I compare

Q: You can choose only two LUMIX cameras to shoot with for the rest of your life. What two do you choose??

I love the images straight out of camera, and it’s operationally speedier than the next generation of cameras, especially the slow ass S5IIX. I love that it’s smaller than them too and personally can feel it. Way better battery life than the S1II generation, I’ve also never seen an overheat warning
