Honest question from a total newbie: how does a "real" camera actually help me if my phone already shoots like this?

Lumix Lab and Fuji simulations entered the chat. In all reality, you’re right. But that’s why companies are taking editing out of the equation with these LUT libraries and whatnot. They want to keep selling cameras to a wide audience, and that is how they capture a customer like OP. OP, if you aren’

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.

Lumix L10 real-world experience?

I have one for about 4 weeks now. I am in Germany and ordered in a shop. It is my first MFT camera. I have an S9 and S1RII as well. It took me about 3 days to get used to the controls of the camera. The menus are the same, so no learning here. The build quality is a big step up from the S9 and I wou

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

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

Why has the GH Series fallen off the map?

The GH7 is the best hybrid MFT-camera on the market if you look at the features. It has 25MP, the best hand held high res and pretty good DR for stills. It has a video performance that is better than most other cameras in the price range. It is an extremely reliable work horse for people who need to

The ZR booted up like, ‘bro, what is this?’

Great shots! Praying to the photography gods Nikon realizes if they put out a photo-centric in this body format, it could be a potential hit. It would compete with the likes of the Sony A7C series, Lumix S9, probably even Fuji offerings. Stick one of the more compact primes on it - and you have a gr

How common is the Lumix S9 rear dial malfunction really?

The rear dial on my S9 became less and less responsive starting a couple of months after I purchased it despite what I would consider considerate use. That said I filed a warranty claim, received a shipping label, shipped the camera to a Panasonic repair center, had it repaired and returned to me al

What L-mount needs desperately…

Hell, it would be kinda cool if there was a lens with a leaf shutter inside to mitigate the e-shutter on the s9. Maybe a 28 f2 lens or 35 f2 with leaf shutter by lumix, and a software update that would let you turn on/off the leaf. It's a tall order, i know, but it would be a way for them to keep us
