Panasonic Lumix G9 review
Despite the GH5 being the company's most stills-orientated flagship camera so far, it's still seen by many as primarily a videographer's tool that just happens to also have a wealth of photography features on tap.
Pros:
- 6.5-stop image stabilization
- Up to 60fps burst shooting
- Large viewfinder
- Great grip and handling
- Dual UHS-II card slots
Cons:
- ISO range could be broader
- Reduced screen size compared to GH5
- Battery level not shown as a percentage

Panasonic Lumix G9 Review
The Lumix G9 is a different kind of camera for Panasonic, one that strides out in a new direction. As the equally capable GH-series has grown increasingly video-centric with the GH5 - and now the even more video-specific GH5S - the G9 sets its gaze clearly on still photographers, a demographic that...
Pros:
- Great build quality
- Intelligent control layout
- 80MP high-resolution mode
- 5-axis in-body stabilization
- 6K photo and 4K video
Cons:
- Burst rate has odd limitations
- Smaller sensor than similarly sized/priced competitors

Panasonic Lumix DC-G9
Overall, we consider the G9 the best camera Panasonic has made so far, particularly for enthusiast photographers who are mainly interested in shooting stills but also like to take high-resolution movies occasionally.

When Panasonic released its latest flagship camera last year, it's focus was almost as much on its video capabilities. But the new Lumix DC-G9 brings things very much back to still photography.
Pros:
- Excellent usability
- reasonable compactness

- adjustable display panel
Cons:
- Hmmmm

Aiming to impress stills photographers in the same way that the GH5 has wowed videographers, the new Panasonic G9 is a new flagship compact system camera aimed at enthusiast and professional users, making the bold promise to deliver "the highest picture quality in the history of Panasonic cameras".

Panasonic Lumix G9 review: The finest mirrorless camera that money can buy
The line between DSLR and mirrorless cameras continues to blur, with the Panasonic Lumix G9 gunning to be the first choice for pro photographers. In many respects, this is the camera to cease the disparity between the formats; it's almost like a "mirrorless DSLR".
Pros:
- Huge range of Micro Four Thirds lenses (incl
- new 200mm f/2.8 Leica) ensure top image quality, Massive viewfinder and useful vari-angle LCD, 4K video and 6K stills modes, Super-fast burst modes, Accomplished continuous autofocus, Pinpoint AF mode
Cons:
- Viewfinder eyecup could fit tighter
- Optional battery grip should offer two batteries
- Smaller LCD screen than GH5
- Smaller sensor than some rivals
- No 'super raw' with post-focus adjustment (like Canon 5D IV

Rating Error
I wrote a recent review on the G 9 and remarked at what a wonderful camera it is. Please understand the 2 star rating was a mistake that I could not correct on my iPad. This is a 5 star camera for sure in my opinion. The uploaded images are jpegs straight out of the camera and not edited at all.

A Fabulous MFT Camera
At last Panasonics G9 is a worthy stills camera challenging the big boys and is also capable of great 4K video. I have had the camera for 10 days and have used it virtually every day to see if the hype was correct. This camera has many advantages over Nikon and Canon gear which I own as well.

Not perfect, but very good
Great camera. Have a G7 and it's better than that, far more features. Love having two SD cards If there is one thing, well two actually, against it, then those are The battery charger is USB not mains The 60FPS in 4K is only for 10 minutes max.

Fast autofocus!
I have an Olympus OMD EM-5 and was looking to upgrade based on some of the features and early reviews about fast auto-focus and the 4K video. I haven't used the camera a ton yet, but did take a number of photos and videos of my son playing basketball and baseball.
