LUMIX S9

I have one for about 4 weeks now. I am in Germany and ordered in a shop. It is my first MFT camera. I have an S9 and S1RII as well. It took me about 3 days to get used to the controls of the camera. The menus are the same, so no learning here. The build quality is a big step up from the S9 and I wou

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:

I have mixed feelings. Loads of companies do this. Panasonic Lumix used stock images to promote their S9 camera that were apparently taken with Nikon's. I think Nokia's been caught doing fake set ups in the lumia days. Is it OK? No - its false advertising. Are loads of companies doing this? Yep.

This type of thing is why I thought skipping the hot shoe on the s9 was a bigger deal than mechanical shutter or an evf. People only mentioned the hot shoe in the context of flashes or the xlr adapter, but hot shoe audio is huge for creator focused cameras. Sony now has a hot shoe input for dji mics

I'm sorry but I feel like Panasonic is helpless. They swing and miss with everything since the GX85. I love what they are trying to do but this leaves so many questions. I also love Emily's videos, but she is a content creator, she raves about a camera like the OM-3, then a couple weeks after her "1

I would go for the S5ii and the GX9 - my heart will always prefer M4/3 but I'm not convinced Panasonic feels the same, so the sensible thing to do is have a full frame system as well. The S5ii might not be as compact as the S9 but I still want a mechanical shutter on my camera.

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

They're not the same size, the A7C II has a proper grip vs the S9 having none, plus the EVF protrudes a fair bit. I think that is their best bet though if they're open to a departure from the current design. Add a similar shape grip and shift the battery and card slot into it, free up a little more

still no lumix flow support for s9 :(

That’s because the G100 has no relative value. Relative to the GX line it’s not meaningfully smaller, not cheaper at launch, and clearly less capable. If there was a GX99 and a G100 available to buy new at a similar price who would buy the G100? If you add an articulating screen (costs manufacture n
