Panasonic Lumix G9

 

Panasonic's best stills camera to date. Panasonic Lumix G9.

Superb design and handling ; Excellent 4K & 6K photo modes ; Well supported by Micro Four Thirds lenses ; Offers high-resolution 40MP & 80MP modes

Positioning of AF toggle could be better ; Lacks battery level indication as percentage ; Burst shot mode descriptions aren’t clear ; No in-camera panoramic mode

Panasonic’s best stills camera to date. The Lumix G9 is a sound mirrorless camera boasting a speedy specification, which it backs up with an admirable performance out in the field.

Panasonic Lumix G9 review

 

Meet the photographer-focused Lumix GH5

6.5-stop image stabilization ; Up to 60fps burst shooting ; Large viewfinder ; Great grip and handling ; Dual UHS-II card slots

ISO range could be broader ; Reduced screen size compared to GH5 ; Battery level not shown as a percentage

Excellent image quality, 60fps shooting, polished handling and a wealth of advanced features add up to make the Lumix G9 a brilliant all-round mirrorless camera and Panasonic's best mirrorless camera to date.

Panasonic Lumix G9 review: The finest mirrorless camera that money can buy

 

With mighty impressive image stabilisation, an ultra-sensitive shutter, super-fast burst mode, accomplished continuous autofocus and burst shooting,

Huge range of Micro Four Thirds lenses (incl. new 200mm f/2.8 Leica) ensure top image quality ; Massive viewfinder and useful vari-angle LCD ; 4K video and 6K stills modes ; Super-fast burst modes ; Accomplished continuous autofocus ; Pinpoint AF mode

Viewfinder eyecup could fit tighter ; Optional battery grip should offer two batteries ; Smaller LCD screen than GH5 ; Smaller sensor than some rivals ; No 'super raw' with post-focus adjustment (like Canon 5D IV)

With mighty impressive image stabilisation, an ultra-sensitive shutter, super-fast burst mode, accomplished continuous autofocus and burst shooting, plus a viewfinder that's unrivalled by any mirrorless model, the G9 really is the finest mirrorless...

Panasonic Lumix G9 review

 

The best Lumix so far is a dream for wildlife snapping...

Very fast frame rates ; Small, light lenses ; Rich, vibrant photos ; Bright and clear viewfinder

Small sensor ; Relatively low pixel count ; Large body for a CSC ; Comparatively short battery life

The perfect companion for the travelling wildlife photographer and one of the best compact system cams around

The Lumix G9 seeks the same cachet for stills as the GH5 boasts for video

 

Panasonic hopes a combination of speed, tonal tuning and body design will tempt serious photographers.

Panasonic Lumix G9 Expert Review

 

We review the new Panasonic Lumix G9, Panasonic flagship 20mp Micro Four Thirds camera with interchangeable lenses, high-speed shooting, and 80mp high-resolution mode.

The price of the Panasonic Lumix G9 puts it in to the professional area of the market, rather than enthusiastic amateur, and this could put some buyers off. However, there will be those that have the money and are happy to spend it on the camera, once...
