LUMIX S9

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

I use my camera almost exclusively for family life. 10 bit video, reliable human tracking and good stabilization are the main things to look for in a hybrid dad cam. I wouldn’t recommend an OM-5 or GX9 for your use, because they both lack 2 out of the 3 things I mentioned above. I’ve owned an E-M10

I went from an A7 III to S5 II (then S9) and I'd say the A7 III was more reliable autofocus wise. The S5 II is very reliable for people and eye tracking but it needs a lot more hand holding in low light. I think the swap to Lumix makes more sense if you were branching out more into video (for the IB

Got this in a few days ago after using an S5II for a year now. I got it to replace my B-cam, which is a S5. I've gotten addicted to using LUTs and the Lumix Lab app so the S5 wasn't quite cutting it in terms of ease of use as I had to use the old Sync app to bring stuff over and manually apply LUTs.

I've never used the S5d, but my s9 autofocus is able to keep up with everything(within reason) I've asked of it. I wasn't the biggest fan of the 18-40 kit lens, so mine usually wears the sigma 45mm 2.8 or lumix 85mm 1.8. The lack of evf and headphone jack is a pain sometimes, but you can work around

As the one who converted from G9 myself, something like S5II will suit you just right and will improve autofocus because it now has PDAF instead of just DFD on G9. I did use S9 at first but really missed EVF, so took advantage of this Best Buy deal, that gets you S5II, 20-60 kit plus free 85mm f1.8

There are many different types of wedding photographers. Documentary photographers are very popular in the UK these days and are often very discreet and won't interfere with the day at all. I carry a Domke F5xb bag (tiny!) and two S5IIs with a 35 and 85 prime. I'd say 70-80% of shots are completely

Let me clarify - modern small cameras. PDAF, tracking that works, etc. Right now Panasonic S9 is the only camera on the market that genuinely meets that description.

S9 has vastly superior AF, it's more pocketable ad more geared toward vlogging than the original S5. If you don't plan on making 30+ minutes long 4k/60p clips (as it can overheat) it will be fine. The Lumix 20-60 or the 18-40 (a bit worse but more conpact) are nice to start and with real time LUTs I

I have the S9 and have had a couple S5iixs. I've also had a ZV-E1. Honestly, they're all fantastic, capable cameras. The Lumix cameras are more versatile and the S9 especially has a similar form factor appeal to the ZV-E1 with better photo options. Having said that, I think the ZV-E1 is an absolutel
