LUMIX S9

Considering there will always be more hobbyists than pros, I don’t think that’s really the issue. The camera companies can’t exist without them and the sales numbers will always skew more towards hobbyists than pros solely because of the sheer number of camera consumers as a whole vs working profess

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

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

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

Hell, it would be kinda cool if there was a lens with a leaf shutter inside to mitigate the e-shutter on the s9. Maybe a 28 f2 lens or 35 f2 with leaf shutter by lumix, and a software update that would let you turn on/off the leaf. It's a tall order, i know, but it would be a way for them to keep us

I feel like once you start getting into the realm of those specs + raw video, 4k240, 32bit float, XLR - you've somewhat left the need for having a compact handheld form factor because 90% of the time it's going to be rigged up, on set, with a team. At that point you might as well be using a box-styl

If you decide to buy a camera, I would go for some which would be easy to carry around, so you wouldn’t be annoyed by carrying the extra weight. Fo example I love my lumix s5 and nikon d7000 but I think twice whether I am willing to carry it around whole day with me while traveling. A good budget an

You say that, but Panasonic's own S9 fits a FF sensor into a body that is 70% the volume of the L10, uses the same battery and it even has IBIS. Sure, it lacks the EVF and hot shoe, but I can't imagine there is a world where that FF sensor doesn't require more power, compute, and obviously room than

This. Once you’ve been on this search long enough and serially dated enough cameras, you learn there are certain things that work really well for you. Some of us are prime people. Some zoomers. Some like the wide end, Some the long…. Some need Jean pocket size while others coat pocket or on a strap

I have both. S9 is definitely superior, but the size, ease of carry and the fun of using the X100VI is what sold it to me. Hopefully we continue to see more smaller lenses come out for the Lumix!
