    Hi. I know this will probably get lost in the comments but I just wanted to say something without hating like all those people do. I am sad to see all that hate coming from gerald undone 's video. I believe you are a great person and I really love your videos. Correct comparisons/reviews and no things hidden.Tutorials that most people wont bother doing but that shows the reap knowledge. I started watching your channel with the release of the lumix s5iix and I remember seeing your joy on every video you did about it. And then I subscribed because it looked authentic and not biased from a long time ago. I was in the army and had like one gb of internet left and I spent it to watch your new video back then. Thats what I like about your channel. I also really like the way you color grade your videos they look awesome and that tells the skill level you have compared to other people that do reviews without showing any of their work. I have seen more than half of your videos really. Yeah because the list always goes on I would like to say that people like you should get more recognition instead of hate. I would like to meet you in person(thats unlikely because I leave in greece) and become like you one day😊 I hope you keep up the good work and dont worry about pretenders because the truth always comes to the top.

    Thanks, mate, I appreciate it. It's all good. This sort of "look at me I'm special" videos come and go. I've been making videos for 14 years or so on my other channel and the longevity comes from sticking to your ethics and morals. I've seen it all before and this is nothing new. Gerald throwing people under the bus who have been doing this for years was uncalled for, and if a company decides not to fly someone out, it's up to them. 😂 Cheers man, I appreciate the kind words.

    So the Synchro scan is ONLY for videos not stills. Makes sense but at least one of the KZreadrs implied this can be used in general. Thanks for doing the walk by walk of the menu. I really want to like this camera but lack of some form of mechanical shutter presents to me issues for photographing events in artificial light or street night photography as the risk of banding in moderate to faster shutter speeds seems high.

    Thanks so much for this. Just bought the S9 and going to give it a shot. Had the S5II, and it was great, but size wise this fit better for me. What lens do you recommend for the S9, however? I’m just a barber that takes stills of my haircuts and video social media content, as well. Not a professional camera person at all. I would love your recommendations. Thanks!

    I would say start with the 20-60mm kit lens, it's such a great value addition to the S9. That or the 35mm F1.8 or the 50mm F1.8 if you need a prime. 35 + 50mm are very versatile and the results will look great.

    Does the S9 have the same connection abilities to Adobe Camera to Cloud? That seems like a more automatic connection with the phone in the back pocket. How does that compare to the Lumix Lab App? Is there a Adobe Cloud App where images could be seen but already in the cloud? Not sure if that's clear...

    No, the G9ii has a bigger body (same as the S5ii with an EVF) and the sensor is different. The G9ii has a smalelr sensor, BUT does not change the crop when changing the frame rates like in the S5ii. You can select up to 120fps in 4K with no crop and is downsampled from 5.7K which is really sharp. The dynamic range though is about a 1 stop less. And the low light on the G9ii isn't as good. I would say up to 2500 ISO is clean on the G9ii where as I'm noticing the S5ii is clean up to 6400 ISO and 12,800 ISO is super usable, especially in the 6K Open Gate mode. The G9ii has better IBIS without needing to incurr a massive crop, whereas the S9's IBIS is better when using IBIS + Active Stabilization High which gives an additional 1.4x crop.
