Forgot this camera can take stills - LUMIX S5iix

Haha, the Trojan horse, I might do that! Obviously the size is smaller, but the files feel thin also from the Xe5, I wish the lumix s9 had a hotshoe

Looking for consolation -- Just bouth a new s9 literally 1 day before the L10 annoucement (no returns allowed in my country)...RIP?

I have a S9 and will pick up a L10, they are completely different cameras IMO. S9 is seriously missing a fast-ish wide angle though. If Lumix's next lens is a 24-28mm f2 in the same form factor as the 40mm f2, that is going to seriously blow the L10 out of the water as an EDC cam. It's all subjectiv

35mm sigma 1.4 art II on s9 focus woes

If you'd like smaller look to the new 40mm lumix 2.0. The pics are nice. 1.4 is fantastic. I put a 1/8th diffuser to soften it a touch. All is good except that focus on this s9. I don't think I got a bad focus copy. When it's just the right conditions, no focus issues. But I can't always have that,

The Lumix S9 finally has a compact prime lens - TTartisan just released their 40mm 2.0 L-mount version

I don't understand what Lumix was thinking with the release of the S9 without a small quality prime for the camera. If they had released S9 with a small quality 28mm or 40mm f/2.8 prime, sales would have went through the roof. The S9 was not a fit without that small prime to hang my hat on. Bloggers

I upgraded from s9 to s5ii, here are my initial thoughts

All points stand that’s why I went with Fuji xe5 with 23mm lens. Planning to get x100vi for extra stop of light, nd filters and flash. Size wise lighter than s9, that I had before. Picture quality is better - 40mpix does something magical where they look three dimensional straight out of film recipe

S9 Owners - Is it Good For Youtube Content Creation? Or is there Anything else that you like better?

After reading your post and all the replies, my advice to you is to get the Osmo. I genuinely think it would be a better camera for you. First of all, the stabilisation is better than the Lumix. The camera is lighter to carry around, particularly at arm's length, and it offers a wider field of view

Is it dumb to replace my S5II for a lighter travel camera?

I wouldn't recommend the S9 for mountains. In my opinion it's not the camera body that usually takes most space, it's the lenses. 20-60 is a small lens for full frame, but it still takes a lot of space. Like I travel and hike with my S1, which is one of the largest mirrorless bodies ever made and it

Talk me out of switching to Fuji?

Picked up the LUMIX S9 recently and honestly, I really liked the form factor and how it looks. Autofocus was way better than I expected too (as i primarily shoot Sony). But… I just couldn’t click with the pictures. I also own the X100VI, and while it’s only APS-C, the Fuji film sims just have so muc

Traded my 17 Pro in for the iPhone Air!

I have tried full frame camera - to see if I can offload taking pictures to dedicated device and go with Air. The answer is big fat no. Even though Lumix s9 is light - I struggled to get a picture as good as iPhone does and as easy - in low light in combination with more much expensive lens it would

Lumix L10 Preview (Micro Four Nerds)

I'd probably wait for a sale to stack on top of an EDU discount, but I'm with you. Something portable and photo-centric, but with improved AF and Lumix Lab / LUT support would be really interesting. The L10 is interesting, but it's not really a step in that direction. Its footprint is almost identic
