Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 Review
The Panasonic G9 is one of the most well-balanced Micro Four Thirds camera to date. Capable of super fast burst speeds, with reliable AF as well as good-looking 4K, this camera can easily handle double duty. It offers outstanding image stabilization, great image quality and tons of customization all packed in a reasonably lightweight, weather-sealed body.
Pros:
- Just about any photographer craving a camera that can handle both high-speed still photography and 4K/HD-video duty. Anyone seeking complete control of their camera.
Cons:
- Serious sports and action shooters, who would be better suited buying a camera with phase detect AF.

Panasonic Lumix DC-G9
This review continues from where we left off in our First Look overview, which was published in November. We have now been able to spend some time with Panasonic's DC-G9 camera, which was supplied with the H-ES12060E 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 lens.

Panasonic Lumix DC-G9LEICA camera – prime photography (Review)
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
- occasionally useful 80 megapixel mode
- adjustable display panel
Cons:
- Hmmmm

Panasonic Lumix G9 review
The G9 is the best Lumix camera to date and a cracking choice for wildlife or action photography. Naturally, there’s a trade-off with that Micro Four Thirds sensor – as great as the G9’s images are, they’re not on a par with with a full-frame camera, particularly in low light situations. But the plus sides are lightning shooting speed, a much lower price tag and smaller lenses. If you’re looking for a camera for your travels, the G9 and its system of light and small lenses could be ideal. With 4K video and handy shooting modes like High Resolution also on board, it’s one of most versatile high-end mirrorless cameras you can buy right now.
Pros:
- Very fast frame rates
- Small, light lenses
- Rich, vibrant photos
- Bright and clear viewfinder
Cons:
- Small sensor
- Relatively low pixel count
- Large body for a CSC
- Comparatively short battery life
