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

The Lumix S9 with the 18-40 is one of the most underrated combos ever.

Matt from Lumix recently stated the camera has far exceeded their expectations in terms of sales. It’s a really popular item for them. I got one myself recently, mainly to use as a EDC for video and to be able to take the occasional higher quality picture. Background: I started my Lumix journey with

S9 Purchased

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.

Anybody go from S5IIX to S1RII?

I switched from Sony (a7r5, a1) to Panasonic last year. Picked up the s5iix and a few lenses. I fell in love with video on that camera, and for photos is was pretty good, but nothing I would write home about coming from those two Sony bodies. I’ve since purchased the s9 (which I love for a small wal

Finally got my first Lumix! S5II with 24-60mm f2.8

Your setup will definitely depend on your primary intended use case. Photo or Video primarily? Ewan Bell has some setup videos where he goes through his settings. I can't recall if he has one for the S5II specifically, but the S9 stands out in my memory and it's basically the same thing, so might be

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.

Immigrant from Canon, settled on S1M2. Never knew I would ever own Lumix! Any tips?

I agree.. I upgraded to R5M2 from R6 (mainly for the extra resolution for birding). But already picked up a S5M2X and S9 before the upgrade (for video and to have a lighter everyday camera). By now, for another body or upgrade (from S5M2X) I would rather want a S1M2 than a R6M3 or C50. Canon is nice

I got caught in the L10 hype but ended up buying an S9 instead

this is one of the most well reasoned takes ive seen on this topic. if there were a full frame compact with fixed zoom with hot shoe for flash and a leaf shutter and stabilized lens on the market of course id consider that over the l10. but theres not, and everyone saying “jUsT gEt An S9” seem to ha

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

My journey, for Lumix at least: S9 -> S5IIX -> S5II - S9 The S5II is far more enjoyable to use. Everyone claims you'll reach for the lighter camera. No. You're going to reach for the more enjoyable camera.

SG-image 35mm f/2.2 and other ~35mm lenses

It's so hard as each has it's own character. The SG-image makes my Lumix S9 easier to carry and relatively sharp whereas the Meike 35mm lens has faster autofocus and more uniform in its edge to edge rendering. The TTArtisan 40mm has some vignetting around the edges and lends itself more to darker to
