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

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

Direction of the Fujifilm as a company / system
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

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

Lumix S9 Long-term Review (2nd Review after 400+ days)
Seriously. The reviews on the camera were devastating. If you consider all the other releases from other camera brands with less features and even higher price tags, it's crazy how much hate lumix gets from creators. I've only done 2 video projects on the S9 and I really liked it too. I didn't know

Should I consider buying a camera?
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
