Is this possible with the iPhone 11?????

Bro get the sigma 17 and 35mm and you’ll be set man. And the extra aperture ring will bless you for all your days

Sigma makes high quality compact lenses for this camera.

Interested in this camera for BTS shots and social media posts.

No one needs a view finder in 2024. What we need is a bright OLED display like the iPhone’s. The lack of a view finder on this camera was my #1 reason for buying it.

Panasonic Japan has an ad that you can: 1) buy a black or gray base camera, 2) pay to change the outside skin. It's like $99 or something for shipping and a new color.

What is mounted to the hot shoe in 2:00? It is a light or an action camera?

Thats exactly what I would buy it for

Came back from holiday where I brought Fuji X-E4 + 27 f2.8 and Canon R8 + 35 f1.8. I have now sold Canon as it turned out to be a little bit too big for my trips with kids but man I love the results and colors. Fuji is really nice but it's AF is driving me crazy sometimes and this 27 f2.8 or even 35 f1.4 that I had in the past lacks that FF 3d pop. I might just solve all my issues with S9 maybe. I really loved with Canon that I just put my subject in center AF point, half press the shutter button and the camera tracks body, head or eyes. Does S9 provide similar subject tracking ?

I will buy this camera.

I’ve been pretty happy with my X100VI using the X App to transfer smaller JPEGs for social media. It’s actually fast with the frequency changed.

I forgot to mention, all images are SOOC JPG. I have done zero editing with all my photos taken on this camera thanks to the LUT support. Can even add some film grain in camera. I love it!

Thanks for the sweet review! Thinking of switching from my x100v to this one, mainly for film emulation…. Never used panasonic but the luts seem AMAZING. Does the cam have built in grain? Worth the switch? Cheers bud. Edit: sorry for all questions, but heres another. At 2:36, is that SOOC? Loving the vintage lens effect with the edge distortion.

"for certain people" sums up the S9. There are a lot of models on the market for 1500 that have more features. I want a new GX model!

The best about this review has nothing related to the camera, luts or lenses, its about the joy of being Dad and the bless of have a family, congrats!!! :)

Currently using the he S9 with the Sigma 45 2.8. While having a bit narrower viewing angle than the 35, the Sigma is a great match for this camera. The Sigma 90mm 2.8 is even smaller. My two current edc lenses with the S9 are the 45 2.8 and 65 f2. The Lumix 20-60 is also a great pairing. But, I can’t wait to try out the 18-40.

The M10-P needs to be your next one! 😉

What do you think about the Sigma 35mm f/2 contemporary instead as the go to lens? Its a smidge heavier but nearly a full inch shorter in length.

awesome review! would you mind linking the light you bought from amazon?

8:50 Biggest issue thats going to kill sales on this is the lens. I'm going to say it right now. They should have went all the way and tried to implement a fix lens 28mm or 35mm camera to capture the Fujifilm X100 craze going on. The size of that lens is a big issue and anyone with a Sony FF mirrorless can just slap a 24mm f/2.8 G Lens and it will have a smaller profile with a hot shoe. I am already seeing lots of these hitting the used market. This camera has some great ideas going for it but missing a critical thing.

I'm using the Sigma 45mm and prefer it to the Sigma 24mm (and won't comment on the Lumix 26mm that came with the S9)

Do you have a link to the Amazon continuous light you mentioned in the video?

Iunno, as an EDC I think the iPhone 15 Pro or 16 Pro coming out this Sept or a GR III or IIIX would be better. Although the latter would only take (awesome) pictures and bad videos. But if videos was a focus then the new iPhones do really well in that regard...unless you need to shoot low-light videos for an every day carry...

I realise you are a full frame guy but you would get most of what you are missing by going mft 😅 Like the GX9. Compact 35mm 1.8 - Check Supercompact 40mm 1.7 - Check Leica monochrome - Check Viewfinder - Check Leica glass - Check Rangefinder style - Check Mechanical shutter - Check Looking at your sample photos, none of those would suffer from mft. No more noise with that light. The depth of field. Just slap the LUTs on in post. 😁 Trade like 4-5 compromises for 2. 🙃 As i said, you are a full frame guy so i assume that you would probably not be interested in trying mft. Lovely pictures. Good job! Great video. 😊

Loving mine, thanks for speaking some sense. So tired of the negative discurse around it. I was a bit pulled back learning that .MOV files can't be edited, previewed or downloaded on the cam.

The S9 is for those who just take pictures and short videos. A every day camera you take with you if your just shooting things for a youtube channel. The GH7 is for big projects such as weddings ,client jobs. Anyone who buys the GH7 just for wanting to do KZbin videos will be wasting what the camera has spec wise,

From the moment the S9 came out i thought Lumix has made a compact camera for those who want to take pictures and do short videos. They understand that not everyone wants a full frame camera as big as the S series they have. The Prime lens they have for there FF cameras are made for better filming then photos. Sigma is the brand for pictures. The Lumix L mount lens are all 1.8 all the same size and wight so they can be changed easily without having to re balance the camera if its on a gimble. Most cinema lens are prime lens. The S9 is not really a camera for filming as such. Its good to see that You are using the camera for what it was made for. Taking pictures and maybe doing small videos when your out and about , instead of having to walk around with an bigger camera.

I got the Sigma 45mm. Get it

I want a S9 as a second camera to my A7R5. I just wanted it for faux gimbal shots because of the stabilisation. I'm 100% vertical shooting these days for social media, so a nice lightweight setup would be helpful. I'd love to know how the stabilisation stacks up for simple product clips hand held.

How do you put that tiny camera with a comparatively HUGE 35mm prime lens in YOUR POCKET? What kind of pockets do you have???? I don't believe a word. Unless you can use pancake lenses, that's not a pocket camera.

You're so right about the Leica Monochrome look.. One other LUT that I've been using on photos + vid (its AMAZING on VIDEO too), is the "Samourai" LUT. Whew !!! Video dropping soon, photos + video with it. Got that in SLOT 1 !!! lol.

you should definitely check the Sigma 35mm F2 lens, It's even better0 and well built, and sits perfect with this camera's form factor.

I think the GX850 is more fun than the S9- much smaller and a flip-up screen with a mechanical shutter and flash integrated. Only the IBIS is the thing that's missing but many lenses have that.

How about Zf? And do you think Hasselblads which still shape like a typical SLR, will it be fun given it doesn't have dedicated shutter and ISO dials tho it has aperture ring?

I will not buy this camera.

They literally just needed a 28f2.8 like the Nikon Z or Canon R, and they would have aced the launch on this for me.

Great review! I just finished a KZbin video shot primarily with this camera and loved it. I picked up an a7iv 2 years ago, but the thing just never clicked with me. As soon as I took the S9 out for an actual shoot, it fit like a glove, and the process of shooting felt so good. Definitely would love no record limits and if they could create a hot shoe digital mic like the Sony BM mics. Other than that, once Panasonic perfects the AF (still not as good as the Sony's, but it's 80% of the way there), I'll switch over completely.

honestly if it had a hot shoe mount, I think this would be a solid camera. as an everyday content camera. I like my fujix100vi for pictures and the s9 would've been the perfect everyday camera for photos + video. the lack of hot shoe is the issue for me. I like the fuji but mainly like it with flash** and the built in ND is just a bonus on the fuji. I have that sigma 35mm lens for my s5ii, that would be a good option as well. the sigma l mount primes are smaller Thant he Lumix primes! Dope video keep it up!!!

No love for the Leica 18mm 2.8 😢

Robin Wong "fun"..

If u have 3 cameras to choose as a “dad cam”, which one would you choose? GR3x? ZV-E1? S9?

Can't wait to get my hands on this. It goes without saying that Lumix needs to make a few pancake primes for this. Really curious to check out the compact 18-40mm lens when it drops.

Just as a side note on Lumix. Since the recent firmware update to the S5 II, I have started using it for KZbin, run and gun, b-roll, etc. It's good enough to use in place of my Sony Cameras now. This was not the case before the update. So they are locking down the autofocus performance.

I wish they made the darn camera weather sealed

Tell us about that range finder eye oiece you have mounted on there! 😊

Nipple😂

Totally agree. It’s a fun everyday carry. I even give it to my kids and let it rip. I just need to buy that Thypoch 28mm

Which thumbnail did you click on?

Please guide me which camera best for KZbin video ♥️ and what camera use you this video

I think you are totally wrong that its the future. Its a future that Apple wants. One of isolation and constant screen time because that equals more profits for them. But its an utterly dystopian idea. And the fact that the public at large has rejected it ....and VR/AR in general......shows that this is not a product people actually want. Apple's motivations for pushing this terrible product are not to better peoples lives in any way (all evidence being it would only isolate people from each other more) or contribute to society. Apples goal is just to make more money by literally making people spend more screen time because the device is now strapped to your head. Lets stop pretending Apple is some inherent force for good when that simply is not true. Its a giant corporation that like any giant corporation cares most about its profits and stock price.
