Finally the lens we’ve been waiting for! Any questions you have about it, fire them below…

Yeah of course! The SIGMA 45mm f2.8 is smaller but much heavier with it's metal build. It comes with an aperture ring (which is gorg) and a metal lens hood (super handy). The SIGMA 45 has very very noticeable focus breathing when shooting video. Not an issue for some people though I guess. I prefer

Really disappointed in the S9 build quality

Panasonic built the S9 to a price point. For a reason. The fact that it has sold more than any other FF camera says enough.

Is this the holy grail of M43 Cameras?

Very annoying. All we'll probably see from Lumix now is a hand me down S9 body for the next M43. I hope I'm wrong. There is hope with a French company making a beautiful small M43 camera, hopefully it'll be great https://esquisse.camera/

Why does Panasonic pump out premium m43 cameras but make the S9 so cheap and plastic?

It keeps the price down so they can target a budget segment, first time buyers, or people using it as a second camera. Every manufacturer doesn't have to cover every segment of the market. The S9 at this point is unmatched value for someone wanting a full frame hybrid especially if they lean more to

If the X100VI and the Lumix S9 had a baby with a 40mm f2 lens - would you buy this? 📸

I personally wouldn’t want fixed lens. The S9 has huge potential and I’m sure Panasonic will make it even better with the S9ii. I’d rather they take inspiration from the GX series. It needs a grip!

Why don’t we have a true pocket-size full-frame digital point-and-shoot?

You forgot the Panasonic S9 with a pancake lenses. The reason is that there’s no market for it. If you want to make it pocketable you need to sacrifice on lens quality and at that point what’s the point of full frame if lens cannot resolve it? The target audience for such cameras are using smartphon

Panasonic LUMIX L10 compact camera megathread

This is the LX100 in new and really good.It also shows that the GH7/G9-II tec can be packed into a smaller body so we can also hope for a GX9-II or an S9 body with this sensor and processing power.Well done Lumix!

Lumix has 10% of the European Full Frame market and is growing

I got my S9 body with an extra battery for 900€ on sale. I was planning on getting another Fujifilm camera until I saw that I could save 500€ and enter the full frame market. Was never really considering Lumix until I saw the price, and so far I’ve been blown away with the S9. Safe to say, I’ll be s

Direction of the Fujifilm as a company / system

Considering there will always be more hobbyists than pros, I don’t think that’s really the issue. The camera companies can’t exist without them and the sales numbers will always skew more towards hobbyists than pros solely because of the sheer number of camera consumers as a whole vs working profess

Lumix S 28-200mm vs Sigma 20-200mm ?

The Sigma 20-200 both looks and feels stupid and unnatural on the S9 body specifically. For that reason I’d go with the Lumix 28-200, which feels “right”er. Here’s a pic with the S9 + Sigma 20-200 at full extension so you can see what I mean:
