The camera is for hobbyists and that is great! I have one, absolutely love it because it’s FUN! And it takes great photos and incredible vid with excellent AF. I hate taking photos or vids with my smart phone. Boring. The Lumix Lab is awesome and creating a look without using Lightroom is great.

and don't forget that IBIS......i don't even bring a tripod!!!!

The Sirui grip is waay bigger, looks odd but seems like a better fit!

🔥🔥🔥

How did you already get yours

Hmmm we did not hear about this one... iiiinnnteresting.

I'm gonna be completely honest.. The "not knowing" of when Lumix is going to let the S5ii/X get some of the things that are in the S9, via firmware update....has be ready to pull the S9 trigger lol. I feeeeel like the S5ii will get the Lumix Lab app usage, I feel like the S5ii will get the X-Pan aspect ratio, but I'm also NOT sure it will, or when. And that alone, has me thinking, "whatever, just do it.. the S9 will be a good backup body to the S5ii." lol. Having glass already doesn't help. Makes the pre-order SO tempting lol.

@@lfcruzsierra Word !!! Mine will be here July 3rd. Gonna see how it is without the grip first, then if need be...I'll just get the Smallrig grip.

If it had an EVF I would instantly have swapped my S5ii for it, but that lack of an EVF (and also mechanical shutter) is just an instant turn off.

I have an S1H and shoot in the electronic shutter all the time. Cameras like the Sigma FP(I own two) and the Nikon Z8 and Z9 all have no mechanical shutter. They all take amazing photos. I have shot the S5II with the mechanical shutter turned off. I have no issues there. This isn't the electronic shutter of the G7 from 9 years ago, it is pretty awesome. Try your S5II with the mechanical shutter turned off.

@@meatbyproducts rolling shutter is a problem for ES vs MS pretty consistently on LUMIX. And that lack of EVF still absolutely slaughters this system for me. I’ll wait for an S9ii.

@ContraGrain the S9II won't have an EVF either. I run the Sigam FP often, and it has no EVF. Hell, it has no tilt screen either. Rolling shutter is an issue with all digital sensors that aren't global. Buy a Sony A9III for $6,000. The S9 is $1500 and will have compromises to be a fraction of the cost of something loke the A9III.

@@TopshelfJunior nah it was a recent purchase. I was shooting on a Nikon D810 for a hot minute in my instagram.

good small full frame camera but lacks the small lens to pairing it up 😂

It's certianly not like the Fujifilm and their F2 primes but the Panasonic 1.8 lenses are pretty good! Ya can only go so small when you have to cover the full frame sensor! That's the one downside to full frame cameras! >:)
