Thoughts on the Lumix S9 and the Market for Such a Camera

#panasonic #lumixs9
The Panasonic Lumix S9 has been released to a mixture of excitement, confusion and consternation. Here are some of my thoughts on the camera. I'm am definitely not in the target market for it, but maybe it'll work for some people. We'll see.
Also, I mention a potential Lumix LX100 Mark III in this video, which I recorded before Leica released the specifications for the D-Lux 8. The D-Lux 8 is essentially just a cosmetic refresh of the D-Lux 7, which is essentially the same camera as the Lumix LX100 Mark II. So it's now not surprising that Panasonic isn't releasing a Mark III. I'll have more thoughts on this in an upcoming video.
Finally, if you're interested in periodic cicadas, watch to the end, because we have a boatload of them right now.

Totally agree, I' not the target market either, but always jazzed to hear about new cameras. In the mean time you'll rarely catch me without my Olympus E-M5 or Lumix g9. I always enjoy and look forward to your videos.

Great insight mate, you nailed it.

[@haroldgraham4441]

Fantastic

[@haroldgraham4441]

And yes, LX100MK3

[@EamonJeffers]

Agreed! LX100 is awesome!!!

The S9 wouldn't have had so many problems at launch had they released a proper pancake with it and a slightly lower price. It has video features and IBIS that are off the chart lacks some basic photography features. It's an odd release; still, I might get one when the price comes down because it looks cool and I don't really need those features anyway.

I've seen photos of the 18-40, and it may fit the bill. It looks like a full-frame version of the MFT 12-32. Field of view shorter at full zoom, but you can probably crop and upsize with not much trouble to make up for it. And you get almost ultra wide at the short end.

Bluetooth has too much latency for direct audio monitoring. It cannot sync with the live video feed, it would lag behind and turn into a mess

Thank you. Finally an answer.
