LUMIX S9

I personally wouldn’t want fixed lens. The S9 has huge potential and I’m sure Panasonic will make it even better with the S9ii. I’d rather they take inspiration from the GX series. It needs a grip!

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

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

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

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

G9 (original) and EM1X owner here. The G9ii and OM1 are both cameras I've considered as well. Both are fabulous and I'm sure you'll be happy with either one. Couple things I'd encourage you to keep in mind: - The G9ii is only marginally larger than the OM1 (about 10% heavier, 10% taller, 10% wider).

Regarding overheating... which is a very silly thing to talk about in a photo-centric camera. I've filmed for 20+ minutes in open gate on a very hot day in japan for my next video. We all filmed our talking head bits on the L10 on event day, maybe like 5 min takes at a time, and everyone was absolut

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

I haven't used any of these cameras but I do own the S1ii and have been researching Lumix gear....too much. IMO The size difference between the S9 and S5ii is basically a non factor unless you plan on carting it around in a bag (with a cage it will be difficult to put the S5ii in a small camera bag

There are many different types of wedding photographers. Documentary photographers are very popular in the UK these days and are often very discreet and won't interfere with the day at all. I carry a Domke F5xb bag (tiny!) and two S5IIs with a 35 and 85 prime. I'd say 70-80% of shots are completely
