Panasonic Lumix G95 | G90 | G91 Hands On Review

[@rebw9800]

I want to say thank you too! I have a feeling I know who he is that dislike your videos. That's really a cheap way to attack someone, tells us a lot about his personality. Great review as usual! Thank you again!

[@Cagey7531]

Who do you think it is? It is odd to see dislikes so fast on a video, first thought I had was 'Sony or Fuji fanboys' - nothing more.

[@kenlee697]

@@Cagey7531 Let me guess. A normal Sony or Fuji fanboy wouldn't know when Panasonic is announcing the camera so won't be able to dislike so quickly. So if someone dislikes so fast, he knows when the video is going to be released, it means he knows the embargo time. So it's a huge hint who he is. But he's not very smart anyway, KZbin Dislike wouldn't affect Richard's video popularity. It only increases his video's watch count LOL

[@HybridlifeOrg]

Thank you Richard. Very accurate as always.

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Thanks hybrid life for your support :)

[@TomJoeSHOW]

As a gh5 user I’m so impressed with what this camera is packing into it.

[@thesurfer4114]

TomJoeSHOW yeah, sadly there is a lack of dynamic in the g95 and on the gh5 side a lack of AF

[@NE_Pigeons]

What makes the g95 more impressive than the GH5? Thought the GH5 was a better camera?

[@malcolmcog]

I already have the G80 (in UK !) And I really like the look of the G90/95. Keep up the great reviews :)

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Thank you Malcolm!

[@alvinrodney6229]

Hi Richard, thanks for this informative comparison review. If you had the choice to buy the G95, the Sony A6400 or the Canon M50, which would you go with. I know the M50 is alot cheaper. But I terms of photo and video quality and ease of use, which would go with? Thanks.

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Alvin, I would go for either g95 or Sony a6400. Sony probably give you a bit better overall image quality but I personally prefer Panasonic ergonomics and design more

[@TheRealRichardWong]

When you release a video just pass embargo, then someone would give you 4 thumbs down on all my 3 video within 10 second... :/ I know who you are, but really does doing that really make you more happy?

As a G85 owner, I do not see a big diference. I would maybe consider upgrading if the bitrate is raised to 150-200 mbs and 4k 60p.

[@chrisfigley]

Hi Richard, thank you for your thorough review and thoughts of the G95. I have owned Panasonic cameras in the past and I do believe I will be purchasing this for an upcoming trip to Disney.

Dear mr Wong great video. Would you advise the g90 with the 12-60 or 14-140 mm?

It is a personal preference. Do you want the wider 12mm or you prefer the longer 140mm reach (but size is also bigger)

[@bdfrankmeow]

Hi Richard, i have 2 questions . 1- Does the live view composite save in RAW ? 2- Have you tried focussing on the eye in portrait ?

[@TheRealRichardWong]

1. Yes you can choose raw output. 2. Yes but not with any fast lens

[@NE_Pigeons]

G95 vs g9? Which would be a better camera for vlogging?

[@TheRealRichardWong]

G9 is better in terms of specs. But g95 is cheaper, smaller and lighter

[@shaun432]

Fantastic review. Very well presented and very informative. You show all the changes and improvements. I shall upgrade to the G90.

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Glad it was helpful!

[@EcBaPr]

great video.. it looks like Panasonic have made a great successor to the G85

[@TheRealRichardWong]

I would love to upgrade my g85 to the g95.

[@TheOli4D]

Great overview, thanks Richard! If I might ask: The G85 has a feature called "teleconverter"... where it crops 2x more and gives you double the reach. However, that feature does only work in FullHD, not in 4k. (The GH5 has it too, there it also works on 4k). Do you know if the G95 does have that feature as well and if it works also only in FullHD or if it works also in 4k? Thanks a lot

[@TheRealRichardWong]

I am not aware there is a Tele crop feature for 4k recording on g95

[@Studiotek]

It already gives you a 1.25x crop in 4k, so there's that...

[@laneferal6756]

Unfortunately, the G95 has a pretty big crop factor of 1.26 for 4K video, more than the G85 (1.18x) and much higher than competition like Fujifilm's X-T30 (1x). Canon m50 is the worst tho at 2.56x

[@thewalkingvloggingman7152]

Just get a wide angle lens like the 14mm 2.5 and problems solved.

[@BenFox01]

Brilliant Richard! I gave a like after immediately after reading your pinned comment! Question. In your autofocus test between the 85/95 were you shooting in 1080 or 4K? And do you think the autofocus is much better in the g85 in 1080? Do you notice less wobble? I would love the video autofocus to be as good as the G9’s with latest firmware! Thanks buddy!

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Thank you Ben! I haven't done much comparison test in 1080p mode to be honest so can't really answer your question. in 4K mode, definitely less wobble from G95. The G9/Gh5 does have a much more powerful processor so i kind of expect those flagship still performs better with the latest firmware.

[@BenFox01]

Richard Wong Thanks Rich! OK that’s good to know. I’m sure 1080 must be even better... G85 has been my baby for so long I also own (and love) the G9’s but it’s too big for vlogging. Do you find the bigger size and weight an issue with the G95? Long story short I recently bought an E-M5 mk3 but honestly the preamps aren’t good. And the 1080 is no Panasoni.! So now considering the 95 as my vlog cam. Thanks again Richard. Keep up your great work 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TeaJayPhotography]

Great video as always Richard! Don't let the childish haters bring you down!

[@theosalah7202]

Hi Richard, i think there is a little error in your description around 11' : the G90 has a 1.25 crop in video in 4k but not the G80 : 1.1 only, am i wrong ?

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Hi Theo, g90/91/95 has a 1.26x 4k crop while the g80/85 has a 1.18x 4k crop. So the g90 is a bit higher in number but the difference is quite small.

[@cameradeal5648]

Great video thank you very much!!! Does it still have that extra crop in 4k compared to 1080p like the g85 had or did they finally remove that?

[@bdfrankmeow]

yes it does crop in 4k

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Yes it does crop.. a bit more than 1.2x

[@campbellrousselle9752]

Hey Richard, another great video :) I hope 'Lockdown' is treating you well. I hope you don't mind, but I thought I'd ask for some advice. Question: I'm thinking of buying a second-hand mint condition Fuji XS10 (Body only), for close to the price of a new G85 (+ kit lens) and probably slightly less than a G95 (with a kit lens). I'm mostly shooting Hiking Vlogs, bit of scenic stuff, maybe some photos, possibly a short film sooner or later. I currently Shoot on a TZ80 and my Huwawei phone. It gets a little more complicated - My mate just bought the G85 and another friend has an Olympus, so we can share lenses, if I buy one of the Panasonics. Should I buy the G85? XS10? or G95?(if I can get one at a more sensible price) - Please help, I'm watching hours of KZbin reviews and not getting any closer to a firm decision. (I like the idea of Fuji, the colour profiles and the compact size of the XS10). Best regards, Campbell Rousselle, from New Zealand. Any advice would be massively appreciated.

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Hey Campbell, it's quite a tough choice! I thought about buying a XS10 too just few months ago but end up getting a XT3 myself as i feel video is still not Fuji's strongest area so my Fuji is purely for photos. Having a 30 minutes recording limit mean it is not usable FOR ME. As most of my videos are 1hour+ continuously. Basically i just setup the camera, press the record button and keep rolling until i'm done for most of my youtube videos. (even though the final video is only like 10 minutes after editing) however, this may not be a problem for you at all. But on the other hand, if you got friends already using m43 cameras, able to share lenses or even borrow their camera when you need more than 1 to shoot together would be a great plus.

[@campbellrousselle9752]

@@TheRealRichardWong Thanks for your help :)

[@codyrobinson22]

Why is 4k video still being cropped I wonder? Is it because it’s not FF?

[@TheRealRichardWong]

My guess is because of limited processing power, it doesn't use the same Venus engine as the g9

[@geoffstapledon7557]

Hi, I was wondering how you saw this camera compared to the G9 and also the GX9?

[@TheRealRichardWong]

This is a baby g9, but also has the v log that is not available on g9. Compare to gx9, this is more suitable for hybrid shooter and more suitable to people who may use bigger lenses. Gx9 is a bit smaller and easier to carry so better if you want a smaller camera

@@TheRealRichardWong Thanks Richard. Certainly lots of choice from Panasonic at the moment.

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Yes. For sure. Choice is good!

[@RayDavies123]

I may have missed this but one of the annoying issues with the G85 was its inability to be easily reset between PAL / NTSC. So if you travel be prepared for a lot of flickering at night. Is this still an issue?

Hey Ray, on "my" G95, i can choose between 24,25,30fps when recording 4K. is that what you want? However, i don't know if this is available on all the models.

[@TheRealRichardWong]

[@apntv]

Richard Wong ah right, thank you. I thought it was and it was bugging me as my G80 has developed a fault and I am thinking of replacing it with a G90 and the 4K extra crop is concerning me, it depends how much difference it makes to the image really, I tend to use the 12-35mm f2.8 lens most of the time and 24mm equivalent is a nice shot size, I wouldn’t like to lose much off of that. You don’t notice much difference?

Good day. Your review is great. I just wanted to know cause some comments say g9 is better. I like sony but im not impressed with their a6400. So im gonna wait for a better camera feom sony. But for now i think panasonic is doing great. So i wanted to know whats best is it the g9 or g95? I wanted something for an all rounder camera which i can use for photography and also for vlogging. Thank you and have a nice day. And as for your haters you can't please all of them. Because some find happiness by ruining somebody. So stay calm and be informative sooner or later you'll be hitting a million subs. Kudos!

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Hello Caven In To The World! thank you! G9 vs G95? Apart from missing v log profile, G9 is technically better camera in pretty much every single area. Better processor, EVF, better build quality, better video quality and also better autofocus system. Downside of G9 is the larger body size/weight and higher price (although the price of G9 has came down quite a bit since released). So if you don't mind G9's size and weight, I say go for the G9 especially if price difference is small in your country! And thank you so much for the warm message re haters. I just don't understand why some people would have so much hate and put so much of his energy on some nasty tactics rather than just use the time to make himself and drink another coffee. 1 million subs? haha that's certainly something I would love to archive ONE DAY! But improving the quality of my videos is #1 I want to focus on, one day i will get there!!! Thanks again!

[@TheGregWallace]

Is it worth 500 dollars more than the G85?

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Hard to answer, I guess it depends on what the g95 offers that g85 doesn't that would benefit you. Some people would happily pay a few hundred to get just the 20mp sensor but don't care about the video upgrades. Some may pay 100 for vlog. And for some, the improved video autofocus may worth two hundred dollar because it means the chance of ruining the video because of misfocus is now much smaller. If all the upgrades benefits you I say it's worth the price difference for sure.. or else you can always wait for the price to drop a bit :)
