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

Why don’t we have a true pocket-size full-frame digital point-and-shoot?

You forgot the Panasonic S9 with a pancake lenses. The reason is that there’s no market for it. If you want to make it pocketable you need to sacrifice on lens quality and at that point what’s the point of full frame if lens cannot resolve it? The target audience for such cameras are using smartphon

Lumix S 28-200mm vs Sigma 20-200mm ?

The Sigma 20-200 both looks and feels stupid and unnatural on the S9 body specifically. For that reason I’d go with the Lumix 28-200, which feels “right”er. Here’s a pic with the S9 + Sigma 20-200 at full extension so you can see what I mean:

Lumix has 10% of the European Full Frame market and is growing

I could have bought a x100vi fujifilm but bought a s9 instead with better lens. The key here is value. The moment they pump prices up with same product the value proposition drops and sales go down. Lumix needs to keep this balance of offering comparable products for less than competition and if the

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

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

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

Old Sony Users Who Switched To Panasonic; Any Regrets?

No regret. Back then switched from Sony A6400 + A7R3 to Lumix GX-9, G9 and S5. The 3 Lumix I used only has CDAF but it's fine for my usage with 90% stills 10% casual video. I feel Lumix body with AWB often give more accurate colors. The raw file (.RW2) can be processed in Lightroom (iOS/Android) for

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
