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.

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

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

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

Panasonic has registered two new cameras in China!

I've got a few hopes: S1HII with a fully stacked sensor. My real hope is that they'd use the same sensor from the Z8/9 or even the A1/A1ii, but that's incredibly unlikely. I really want to see what the Lumix engineering team could do with the "highest end" hardware that other brands use. S9 style bo

Settled on Buying S5IIX, but Lost on Lenses for Content Creation

For the cheapest “you’re set” combo, I say get the Lumix 20-60mm, the Lumix 85mm 1.8, and the Pergear 35mm 1.4 manual. Three total lenses with three different and useful functions for less than the price of one Sigma or Lumix large-range zoom, and they’re all very lightweight. But I have a different

Q: What’s the single best thing AND the single worst thing about the LUMIX S9? Let’s get a discussion going…

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

Korean Ambassador of Lumix admits that there is a Embargo about new products

^ this, I still use my canon 5D from 2014. The lumix S9 is significantly better product than that, with portability. The quality this camera provides is way ahead of its times. You should be good to use this camera for at least 10 years if you take care of it.
