There has been a high level of negativity surrounding this camera announcement. Before commenting, please watch the video all the way through. I try my best to make positive, entertaining and educational camera content, while also encourage constructive feedback and discussion. Sadly, I have noticed a high amount of non-constructive feedback, hateful, or rude comments which is not the type of community I aim to foster. If you feel the need to make one of these comments, please consider that: - Yes this camera has flaws which most creators (including myself) mentioned. - Yes this was a "press event", which I fully disclosed. - This is not a review, it's an overview / feature video, which I mentioned. - If this camera makes you mad, it's probably not a camera for you. - If this video makes you mad, this probably isn't a channel for you. - There are creators, including myself who love specific aspects of this camera. - It's okay to disagree, but consider doing so in a respectful and constructive manner. Beyond that, several of my friends and fellow creators have made great follow up videos on the state of the S9 and camera KZread that I recommend you watch.

Panasonic's reformed marketing strategy (paying Sony users to switch to Lumix and these Japan events) to fluff their brand is hitting all kinds of wrong. They went from being pretty quiet in the influencer space to full throttle and it hasn't gone unoticed.

Awesome, Thank Anthony for showing the app as well!

How can you say this camera is close to perfect? PetaPixel was pretty clear of it obvious flaws. This video sounds like you are reviewing a whole different camera.

I talked to almost everyone who went on this trip including Chris. It was pretty obvious to me the direction most people were going to take their videos, and while I did mention all of the same flaws at multiple points throughout my video; I actively chose not make my content overly negative, and simply enjoy my time shooting with the camera. So while this camera might not be for you, or for pro shooters, it definitely has some features that appeal to the audience it's made for.

This is your line of work it needs something that hooks but this camera is such a disappointment to a brand that tries to avoid releases such as this. As fans and loyal users, this doesn’t sit well with many for obvious reasons. So to see it deemed as “an almost perfect camera” feels forced

Solid video Anthony, looks like a great camera! I like the colour options!

Imagine a GX9 with this sensor and modern firmware. that would've been the perfect camera

If I was still on my Lumix GX85 I'd be all over this. Fits my style (I never used the EVF on my GX85). But I switched to Sony with my A7IV, and I definitely prefer the E Mount ecosystem to the L Mount.

It's called marketing, the manufacturer paid for a bunch of KZreadrs to go to Japan and review the camera. In my opinion the KZreadrs should disclose the benefit they are receiving. Reviews where the reviewer receives a benefit will always be different. Even loaner cameras, loaner cameras to major press like PC Mag won't have an influence but to an individual KZreadr it will as they will won't to keep the flow of loaner cameras coming etc. Free trips is another level of influence.

A video shot on Panasonic has never disappointed me! It's unbelievable that a full-frame sensor (35.6 x 23.8 mm) can fit into a camera with a compact body 📷 ...and I can't believe it, my idol is in Japan. I hope to meet you in person one day!👏

Not only full-frame, but full-size battery and Lumix IBIS too. Two things the Canon R8 doesn't have, that I think a lot of people glossed over!

supposedly a bargain at $1500 a pop😂😂😂😂...i guess the old adage "a fool and his money are easily parted "still holds true today

is there any alternative to this one? specially with the software features!

I don't think non-flagships are targeting perfection. This is a budget S5II, that statement in itself means cost reduction, and cost reduction means less features. The features they removed are parallel to the price reduction, and to me, they are all good decisions.

The corner wobble in the early part of the video, is it from old s5ii firmware or manual lens? because i saw some youtuber says the new firmware fixes those wobble on wide angle lens, or maybe it doesnt really fix those thing

I heard / read / saw somewhere that recording limits are more for tax purposes rather than anything else. Because without limits it would fall under video camera bracket instead of photo camera. Not sure how true is that. I shoot lumix professionally and have both S5ii and S5iix. And I take my FujiX100v with me when travelling. I am considering this because of all the lenses I have, etc. Size factor is huge for me.

@AnthonyGugliotta

It might be, but I also did talk directly to the Lumix team. It sounds like they had a pretty big back and forth about the time limit. Fingers crossed they listen to everyone's feedback and remove the limit, or at least make it longer.

Im hoping this camera drops in price by the time the 18-40 is available, Id go £1500 with that lens, Im betting it hits that price point because reading the review comments I think itll need to.

lumix literally just had too many ff sensors and had to retrofit them somewhere on a budget

No mention of electronic shutter banding in artificial light. That is giving me pause.

An high res. Evf & supports Sony Mi's digital microphone, then this is an absolute perfect camera to me. I'm very impressive with its small size form factor & insane stabilization capability.

With the missing features this is far from even being close to a "perfect camera". Slow readout speed, no hot shoe, no EVF, crippling record limit, no headphone jack, crop in video modes? Almost Perfect? More like almost total trash. And it costs $1500 USD. It's not even a good B cam. On a positive I like what Lumix is doing with the LUT options. Hopefully that trickles out to the rest of the industry.

I sould say it's has one good feature only and the flaws to burden you

I see it as a good beginner content creator camera for Tik Tokkers or a good entry level photo camera to get into the L-mount system. This is not for the full Professional. Casual shooter/videographer. Not a bad camera. What it is lacking, it makes up for in portability and fun experimentation.

I have a Sony Zve10 and will never buy another camera without a EVF.
