Beginner dad: What’s the best hybrid camera hybrid (S9 vs other options) for my situation?
I use my camera almost exclusively for family life. 10 bit video, reliable human tracking and good stabilization are the main things to look for in a hybrid dad cam. I wouldn’t recommend an OM-5 or GX9 for your use, because they both lack 2 out of the 3 things I mentioned above. I’ve owned an E-M10

S9 Purchased
Got this in a few days ago after using an S5II for a year now. I got it to replace my B-cam, which is a S5. I've gotten addicted to using LUTs and the Lumix Lab app so the S5 wasn't quite cutting it in terms of ease of use as I had to use the old Sync app to bring stuff over and manually apply LUTs.

Which Lumix full-frame camera do you recommend for wedding photography?
As the one who converted from G9 myself, something like S5II will suit you just right and will improve autofocus because it now has PDAF instead of just DFD on G9. I did use S9 at first but really missed EVF, so took advantage of this Best Buy deal, that gets you S5II, 20-60 kit plus free 85mm f1.8

My first cine lens
I think 7Artisans makes fantastic low budget Cine lenses. I shoot on an S5iiX, and I currently own only one 7Artisans: the 14mm Spectrum Cine for L-Mount. It's a full frame lens (I believe the Vision series is APS-C, yes?). Regardless, they have a fantastic build quality. The focus throw is 270 degr

Considering Switching to Lumix from Fujifilm
Fujifilm has more fun factor for sure. I really like the user experience. I traded an x-s20 for an S5II. I have also owned an X-H1 and X-T30 II. I do miss the smaller size and more affordable lenses, but I didn’t really care for the film simulations and if you mainly develop raw files, I will say th

Q: What’s the single best thing AND the single worst thing about the LUMIX S9? Let’s get a discussion going…
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

Lumix S5ii vs Nikon Z5ii for stills?
Generally, yes. Nikon Z5ii is better for stills and Panasonic S5ii is better for video. Nikon Z5ii has a better autofocus (same as their high-end bodies, better subject recognition and tracking) while the Panasonic S5ii has more video options (6K Open Gate for instance). Both bodies are capable of d

Struggling to Choose Between the FX3 and the C50 — Need Some Advice
If you can wait you may want to wait until the FX3 ii is released. I think switching to Sony would be the better idea due to lenses and IBIS. Also I like to point out that the A7Siii is half the price used of an FX3 although I do like the fan, shutter angle, and other few extra features the FX3 prov

Brand new in box GH5II worth $700?
But the GH6 would wow the photographer on a number of fronts! Just for starters, a newer sensor with lower-light sensitivity and said by many to exhibit Panasonic’s best color science among those in the G and GH range plus even S5ii and S5iiX/S1Hiie, up to 13 Stops of dynamic range; Plus there’s sti

Film student looking for a good beginner camera to start practicing
Always helps to give a budget. Makes recommendations easier. Okay, budget mirrorless option: Lumix GH5(s) Has great internal codecs and resolutions. Has shutter angle which is quite useful. Log available (possibly after an upgrade, but I could be wrong). The ecosystem has been around for a while so
