I'm kind of tired of chasing new overspecked cameras. I want to start having fun creating and from the looks of this video that's exactly how I felt watching this. Great storytelling as well!

I was excited about the S9, but as I watched the first review, my excitement got stifled minute by minute. And like I said, some will love it and that’s great. I just hope it pushes Sony to make firmware updates that let you use LUTs for stills (which IMO should have been a feature on all LUT-capable cameras in the first place). If the S9 can achieve that, I’m happy =)

I disagree. The s5iix is amazing. But there are a number of cameras far more advanced than it and even Lumix says it. BUT they’re also more expensive than the S5IIX.. they’re all jsut tools and all serve different purposes. Lumix knows their place in the market and know what to do.

Cam, great overview of this camera! It has some limitations for sure, but I don't think it takes a long term/6 month review to decide if this camera is right for you or not (like some may think). I think you highlighted the main points in a short time very well. Consumers need to do their due diligence, too, when deciding on a purchase (like if they really need a mechanical shutter or if they really need to use flash for travel snap shots). To me, this is all the travel camera or short form content camera most could need, in a semi-stylish and compact package. I've been testing my S5IIx with electronic shutter. I don't shoot much action or motion so it doesn't matter as much as I worried about it. If it does matter to one's work, certainly look elsewhere. I like the S9 even as a main camera for short form content or mainly natural light photos, as long as you understand its limitations. I don't create content anymore, and would NOT choose this first as a main/KZread-Long Form Content camera, but there are work arounds if it was your main camera. Your work reminds me of the golf equipment world where they say a great golfer can play any set of clubs, even bathroom plungers, and still shoot a great score. I feel you (Cam) could take the Lumix S9 and still create some epic work if it was all you had. In summary, for those looking for just one camera...short form content = GO. Long form content and flash needed, EVF needed for crap eyes for manual focus lenses = no go for the S9. I trust focus peaking enuf, tho. If you only use auto focus lenses, you're good. I pre-ordered it as it is not going to be my main camera. I will likely return it before the 30 day window at the major retailer I ordered from and pick it grey market or from an eBay retailer, as I honestly don't value it as much as the retail price, unfortunately.

Agreed. Something I love about tiny cameras like this is how dumb they are. They’re not overly complicated. They keep it simple. Sometimes I just wanna capture it. Sometimes I just wanna say something. I don’t want to have to build a giant camera out, I just want to say what I need to say. It’s the same reason I was about to buy the A7CII. But now we get open gate ff and “film simulations”.

just started mounting vintage lenses on my S5ii. that alone would make me pick this up over a x100vi

This is awsome! love your video! it brings excitement to this new Panasonic S9. The photos you showed on the S9 are the closest I have seen to any film sim. I stoped useing film recipes on fuji because I found them gimmicky and just shot raw to edit in post. This Panasonic S9 is a game changer with the LUTS and how customizable they are not to mention making LUTS on a phone app. As far as, no evf I am cool with that because I hardly ever use an evf and mostly shoot from the hip and use the back screen 99.9% of the time. I can't wait to pick myself up the new Panny S9! Great Video Cam!

LOL (in a good way) Anamorphic and a wireless follow focus. Very cool. I plan to grab one of these. I have L-mount adapters already, the thing that’s tricky is the record limits. 10 min can be tricky depending on the situation.

thank you for being critical. Not just hype for all the strengths - fair feedback.

While bummed about the same issues (no EVF, hot shoe and mech. shutter) I still really want to make this work. So I am thinking Sigmas i-series small primes, hopefully samyang will soon come out with their L-mount versions of their tiny F2.8 primes. What I love is the LUT implementation , the app and YES the XPAN aspect ratio!

Honestly, what I liked best was the sponsored segment. I could only wish that more ad reads also taught me something interesting. Also, the only good thing to come out of Gerald's whiny tirade is that I've been exposed to a lot of channels that I had no idea existed, like yours. Great work!

I’m happy with my X100VI so far… I need to use the video features more.

I’m here for the gripless cameras

My realistic dream camera is a sony a7c ii with real time luts in stills mode and no EVF as a sacrifice for dual card slots and full size HDMI at a push. The no EVF in this camera would make sense if it was a compromise for something else like dual card slots or to reduce overheating somehow so not sure why there isn't one (obviously there's a reason I just don't know it) but to not include a mechanical shutter or hotshoe on top of that in a rangefinder style camera is SO confusing to me, especially since they released an f8 manual focus lens to be coupled with it like oh cool it's bright enough to confidently take out my manual lens that can't go below f8 but too bright to comfortably use focus peaking with no viewfinder and it's not video focused as there's so many recording time limits so I really don't know who this camera is for honestly. I think this is the consequence of most consumer camera's being hybrid camera's. Give us stylized camera's like this that are heavily stills focused with some very handy video features like the x100vi and video focused camera's like the fx3/30 or just a modular box because I'm sick of mirrorless video focused camera's being DSLR shaped with that ugly ass viewfinder bump coming out the top that I'll literally never use. I think I'm so salty because I can't afford an xpan that'll probably break and cost more than the camera to be repaired and don't like using camera's that look like boring tools and my a7c ii can't do luts in stills so this would've been the closest to perfect camera for me if it just had a mechanical shutter and a hotshoe lmao come on Panasonic let a man eat !!!

Dude, I feel you so much, I got a good laugh out of your rant while agreeing to EVERYTHING (except DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT EVF ON MY A7C II!!!). I hope Sony finally come to their senses and add LUT support for stills via firmware update. They’re missing out big time and it blows my mind that they don’t just do it. For a lot of people, wouldn’t that be the final nail in the coffin when deciding between the A7C II and a Fujifilm camera?

Would be great if Leica could put the guts of the S9 into the Leica CL while retaining the EVF - love small cameras but also love an EVF! Anyway, super excited to try the new compact L-Mount lenses and using the new App to easily create some LUTs to load into Luminar Neo.

I am mainly a filmmaker. And for the price, I think the S9 is a pretty good choice.

Since the realtime lut function came out in the s5 bodies I've been wanting that feature in a smaller body, to use as a proxy film camera. Load up some since luts, and just shoot in jpeg. I wonder if Panasonic will eventually put this into a very small micro 4/3 body.

AGREED. I just think a lot of tech people are bored and are forgetting there’s artist who use these tools. And there’s a different tool for every different artist.

I'm very into this, although the non-mech shutter and no flash really keeps it in its own corner far from Fuji. The Sigma fp is a lot more durable, but lacks the IBIS and proper AF, though it's also amazing, and I would have gotten one if it had come out later (i.e. it was too limiting for the first in the system). All the L-mount Panasonics have that XPan aspect, and Sigma has both 1:3 and an A1 ratio for printing posters or A3 paper. I really hope that Sigma releases some leaf-shutter lenses for these electronic shutter cameras, but I think it's unlikely. I am hopeful that we'll see some affordable, very light lenses from Lumix, now, though. I'm especially keen to see more of how you fit this into your workflow because fashion is so flash+mech oriented traditionally, yet in the shortclip era, there really is a place for this as a complement to X100/GR etc.

LOL A USD1,500 full-frame camera designed specifically for short form content like reels, Tik Tok etc., to be shared on the go and consumed on smartphones where nobody will ever notice that is was shot on a full frame camera. That's like driving an expensive car like a Tesla S model, but with a range of 10 miles only, because it's designed for moving it from your garage down the driveway for 20 seconds to grab mail from your mailbox as its main purpose. The Sigma fp is a proper video camera, capable of being used as a video recording tool, without the social media gimmick being the main value proposition. I think that value proposition the S9 caters to could have been solved with a smaller, cheaper camera based on the 25MP MFT sensor from the G9II, they could have built a GM1II with even better video specs and without recording limits, smaller lenses, a mechanical shutter, even better IBIS (and SYNC IS!), heck it could have been a GM5II with a viewfinder - and it could have cost less than USD1,000 with a kit lens and still deliver that entire LUT, smartphone app crap along with it.

no mechanical shutter just made me not go for it sadly. I would've loved a mechanical shutter to have better photos since I have a zve1 already with electronic shutter but oh well! Still cool just not for me only because of the mechanical shutter haha

No mechanical shutter? Isn’t rolling shutter an issue? A cold show- so no flash at all? How can this be proclaimed as a great camera for street photographers seriously? This camera is objectively worse than it’s competitors aside from it being full frame… but if you care about full frame, why shoot with this form factor?

Open gate full frame recording… better dynamic range.. better low light.. custom lut support.. uhhhh lots of points.

What brand jeans are those ?

No viewfinder bugs me but a cold shoe?! Nah I'm out

No viewfinder or mic port? WHYYYYYY!!!!!

Why would people have mixed fillings about this??

Looks like film
