There seems to be an error with the dummy battery that you have for the monitor in your links. Seems like its smaller than the one that the monitor needs or uses. The contacts don't match and it's smaller.

Love the way you explained in full detail 🎉

One of the best rigs I've seen... and I've looked at a lot! Some described rigging cameras as adult lego... I liked this definition - fun to see how others build theirs out. I'll have a ZV-E1 soon and will do something very similar to yours. Thanks for sharing!

I suspect a lot of the haters are just doing them hating because it is trendy to do so.

Definitely subscribed plus great video camera advice and reviews on equipment

I just subscribed, you have a very good voice and explanation on this Bro, and I love the colors of your video honestly. More power on your channel! <3

Very good assessment, the S9 is brilliant for the people who will buy it...Panasonic make a dual card, WR and other bells whistles for the people who dont want to use the S9.The people criticising it simply cant grasp what it is and thats their problem...Geralds OVER done.

you forgot the microphone.

Watch Manny Ortiz's video on how bad the focusing is. Forgot the specs and features. If it struggles to focus, who cares about anything else. No mechanical shutter so it's poor option for photography due to banding and picture quality. Very limited record time length. Ergos so bad they gave out free 3rd party grips to all the reviewers. No EVF. No Hot shoe so no way you a flash etc. No headphone jack. The PROs?: Stabilization is top notch. If you are a Lumix fanboy buy a Lumix s5ii.

Why didn't the Sony shills Scream to the High Mountains when Sony made a STRIPPED down version of the a7rV.

I think they need to start pumping out some very compact lenses rather quickly. Something in the style of the 12-32 for MFT. Sigma has some nice and compact primes though. The camera isn't for me though. I... just don't like the style, haha.

This camera is for specific purposes not an update or the best compact full frame, Sigma FP is already proven on this, how much people love it and I own one. Since I had this now I see Panasonic S9 is an update due to robust stabilisation thus reducing the need for a tripod or gimbal during my overseas trip. Those who have been in the photography field values each camera for it certain niche activities, like I enjoyed having Ricoh GR, likewise I had Sony A7r, still got Canon 1D iii and iv and they are good in their own way, but being in the Panasonic environment for almost seven years I found photography is more enjoyable in terms of its quality and video it produces so advanced. I found it is amateurish some of the videos showing bashing the camera and targeting who were presenting their verdict. In fact most of the videos were balanced and they understood the market where S9 will be valued, no wonder Japanese consumers are becoming more in alignment with such concept.

Lumix is trying to sell the S9 to the iPhone crowd. Total failure IMO.

Well said! Still trying to understand what all this drama is about! It’s a camera release and this is not the first neither the first time a brand flew KZbinr at their unveiling event.

Camera is hot garbage… A few extra hundred get you a real camera that has a mechanical shutter.. better record times and a hot shoe? lol I can’t believe anyone recommending this camera

This camera has gotten more hate than the Sony ZV-1F and ZV1-M2. Those were pretty stripped down and lacking also. I guess Insta360 X4 was the trigger, that overflowed into this. The ZV-E1 is a really great price. I'm not sure the the Lumix comes close even at a cheaper price.

I really really don't get all the drama around a *camera*. I was really interested in picking a Lumix s9 up because I don't like carrying my s5ii or s5 rigs when travelling and I sold my Fujifilm because I wanted to stay in one ecosystem. So Lumix releases the perfect camera for me (and for a bunch of other s5ii users from what I see in the comments) and then all I can see online is how I'm probably an idiot for liking this camera, how the missing EVF should eliminate this camera as an option, the electronic shutter will ruin my shots etc etc. It's just another camera out there. You like it? Cool. You hate it? Also cool. Just let me do my own thing now, and mind your own business. Why are people so obsessed with other people's choices?

Thanks for making this! I love the camera. It’s fun. Certainly has problems and it wouldn’t be my only camera, but as a second or third body it’s great.

Travel camera. B camera Quick B rolls etc

Also, just another KZbinr attempting to do damage control on your channel/personality even though you didn't get sent to Japan... but you do use buzzwords and click bait titles so your are still part of the problem 👎👎

These Content Creators (never will I consider them Filmmakers) using Buzzwords like "Drama" only shows that they are disconnected from their audience and where their mindset lies when it comes to making videos now 👎👎

Lots of the Japan early look videos mentioned the 15 minute 4K30 clip limit cited cooling limitations in the compact body. That made sense and was plausible. Now that they have the camera at home for extended periods, they're finding and posting that it's not necessarily true. I've seen 2 now testing back to back 15 minute recordings and it seems to get around 1hr to 1h15m before overheating. I think this highlights the problem for reviewers and consumers in the rush to release press events. What was cited as a makes sense limitation due to a compact build now looks to be unnecessarily limited by Panasonic. They probably could have gone with 45 minutes instead of 15. Hopefully Panasonic give the user more control of this in a firmware update (or do they think they are protecting S5 II sales?).

Sony fanboys are just butthurt, Panasonic started doing what Sony has being doing for years.

of course they had fun...any camera they would have had fun with 150 people with the same camera and same interests. It's not because it was the s9

Currently you can get a new S5ii on offer for only £1,699 with 2 good lenses (20-60mm f3.5 and the 50mm 1.8) compaired to the S9 at £1,499 with the pancake 26mm manual fixed f8 lens. I own a S5ii and a Sony A6000, and use my S5ii for detailed work and filming but still use the A6000 for Street and travel when i want to use something out of sight. All cameras have place for someone and the S9 will most likley sell quite well, but I really still think i'd still stick with a much smaller camera for street and travel with an Apsc or micro 4/3 and use the bigger S5ii for everything else. It would of helpped if lumix had waited untill they were able to show off the 'LUMIX S 18-40mm F4.5-6.3 Lens' at the same time as the S9 japan launch (as this lens has autofocus and a changeable aperture while the pancake 26mm does not and was reguarded as a bit of a joke).

what about mic

Thanks, Thomas! I did not even know some accessories that you have shown existed. Thanks a lot, very informative.

Hey Thomas, I don't remember what it's called when something shows that you're recording, but does the PortKeys Monitor show when you are recording?

Great take on this. Even after all you’ve said, some say they don’t like the hyper positive reviews. If a Reviewer really likes a Camera should they go out of their way to find negative feedback to make some people happy. Here’s the Beauty to all this, there are plenty of Negative mostly Reviewers that look for everything wrong, if that review gives you piece of mind, follow that one and unsubscribe to the others you don’t like. Staying subscribed only so you can go into the comments to trash a review for a product you clearly are not going to buy is petty 😂. Grow up, no one is making you upset you are making yourself upset simply because you want to be in conflict. This video is such a great example of remembering you look at a review because we are nosy but the decision to buy is all on you, not a reviewer.

Does the monitor support touch functionality with the camera - changing settings and touch tracking for example - like the Portkeys?

I’m planning to buy a camera, primarily for photography and looking for ZV E10. Should i buy it or should for some else camera in this approximate price range. Please guide me

abit late but have marked the register.... present🤣🤣

What exactly has GU created??? Have you seen a video or photo by him? Except his studio video???? Anything creative to admire??? He is like, my kid is not bequtfi because his eyes are not green...but has curly hair....So there are reviewers whose work you never seen....and there is the lie...reading specs and comparing worth zero with the experience on the field....

I find rigging therapeutic. Sometimes, it is definitely pointless. But, it feels zen for some reason. 😂😂😂

Shills like Julia Trotti who accept a camera as a "gift" and don't mark the video as sponsored are violating KZbin's terms. Shills need to get called out. There's nothing wrong with calling out the extreme shilling going on. At least Julia was paid, with a free camera. The problem with the trip is that precious few of them admitted they didn't pay for it. They're not trying to be unbiased, they're being shady and hiding what's really going on.

S9 is a garbage camera. Get the A7C if you want small

Another sellout KZbinr?

syncro scan lad...im having a seizure with that flickering the s9 is a hard pass - the stuff missing is not worth a few hundred less than the s5ii if it was 750-1k , maybe but its just crippled from the outset

S5iix is $200 cheaper when bought used

I’ve been studying photography for a while now but I am not a pro at all. I have an IPhone 14 Pro MAX, I understand that there is a big difference between cameras and phones but I’ve seen some footage shot on ZVE10 and it kinda looks like an Iphone. I am afraid that If I invest on the ZVE10 It won’t be a great improvement.

Gerald would have been better off sticking that essay in the bottom drawer and forgetting he ever wrote it. But moving on. I can definitely see a place for the S9 in my kit. Certainly not for full-rate work, but to rapid prototype looks, or for BTS, or pro bono work where 1080 and minimal color work in post is the goal, etc. Loads of reasons to have the S9 around as a light carry option, especially with open gate flexibility and an excellent IBI, rapid fire social media is easy.

Perfect B Cam for my S5iix and iPhone 15 Pro replacement for better quality Reels/Shorts, using my existing L Mount lenses. This is a cheaper ZVE1, with newer features, better IBIS and very clear expectations set on recording limits. My wife will also use this, but finds S5iix too heavy and intimidating to use.

Honestly, I think the target audience for this camera are people who have never once watched a KZbin camera review video. It looks fun to use but not something I would buy. Using "crippled" or "joke" for it is simply because it doesn't fulfill the needs of a higher end user. A casual user might find equal value in the simple design. In the end, if the camera sells than it will have been a good idea. Time will tell.

NGL, I was very disappointed when I first saw the release. Wanting a gx9 successor, I mentioned the things I disliked about it in the comments but obviously not attacking the reviewers. 2 days later, I find myself absolutely loving it and 100% plan on picking one up. I shoot a lot of band/ artist / studio bts sessions and the amount of times I need a quality image or video for the clients to post ASAP, is exactly why the S9 is going to make it's way into my arsenal. Also the recording limits are perfectly fine for music videos so this will be a great C cam to my S1 and S5iix. My channel is based on metal music production, and it's going to be the camera I suggest to everyone in my niche to get for performance videos, and to make photography and video fun and enjoyable. Great video Plus Lumix's synchro scan is amazing for flickering lights. The brand thinks of everything. If this camera is too expensive in anyone's eyes, just wait till it goes on sale. Also Lumix is the best company for firmware updates and every Thursday Sean does a livestream where you can get direct answer about issues you're having from the brand. I'm personally unaware of any other company doing that

you blame youtube plebs who watch your videos without subbing (90% plus) from hating on priviledged shills who get literally corruption rather than undue advantages for making their content? Paid flights, hotels, what else? yes they are right, and you are wrong on this one.

The perfect camera for those who know what they want. Not for brain washed though...

Great video, keep going

I'm a pretty lazy KZbinr. I don't comment or like videos too often. But I've taken to liking your videos before I even play them so I don't forget. I really enjoy to look of your content and you're a charming presenter. I wanna do my small part to help this channel grow so I can keep enjoying it. I did photography professionally for about 10 years before going back to music full time. Just getting into the video side of things. Keep up the great work. Cheers!

When you review on KZbin you can’t say what is profitable for you or what company pleases you , when I want to buy a thing and watch KZbin reviewers and all of them say it’s marvelous and greatest thing ever made and I buying it and using it there is big flaw and great disappointment because those reputable KZbinr didn’t mention that big flaw. This is great 750$ camera not 1500$,put any l mount lens and it will be a joke and that f8 is a joke too,I like lumix and appreciate what they do, but they don’t need to pay or to please KZbinr to pimping their products.
