I could not be happier
JoshP Posted
This camera is absolutely insane for the price. The image quality is right there with the S5II, but what really makes it better for me is the size. Throw a small lens on it and I almost want to put it in my pocket. It’s that convenient. I’ve grown two companies using this camera as my main tool for filming marketing content, professional video shoots, and photoshoots. It just works, and it delivers every time. The 20–60mm kit lens is also a sleeper beast. I own several other lenses now, but when I don’t know what I’m walking into, nothing beats having that range ready. It’s sharp, fast, and proves that kit lenses are no longer something you need to rush to upgrade from. Menus are easy to understand, and OPEN GATE is the real magic here. Open gate at this price point is wild. Shoot once and you’ve got every aspect ratio covered. Social, YouTube, anything. This camera punches way above its weight.

Great small full frame fun camera with Leica b/w
TuffyHuffy Posted
For some strange reason… I really like this camera. Expensive … but I purchased it at a good open box price… for what it is. Wish it had a hot shoe for example. That being said it is fun light and easy to use and takes great pictures. Love the Leica Black and White sim and luts. Still needs a good small full frame lens to go with it … I still really like it.

Pocket-Sized Powerhouse
RodReqper Posted
Just picked up the Lumix S9 and I’m honestly loving it so far. Super compact and lightweight, which makes it perfect for travel or just tossing in a bag for a day out. The image quality is amazing—sharp details, great colors, and it handles low light way better than I expected for its size.

New favorite camera
andyphoto Posted
Love this camera from Panasonic. The real time LUTS are amazing and i don’t have to use Lightroom anymore. The full frame sensor gives amazing depth. I also got the LUMIX S 1.8 primes and they are perfect with this camera. It’s so lightweight. I’m using it for photos and videos and its so easy to share to social media. I wasn’t interested in this S9 initially but decided to give it a go. I don’t regret getting it at all.

First camera
HectorV Posted
Iam really enjoying the LUMIX s-9. It’s my first camera, and everything works perfectly. The picture quality is amazing! I also really like the app that connects quickly. The only issue I have is the lack of a flask and view finder.

Hi Bianca! Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you find the camera beautiful. The model you purchased is the body-only version, which does not include a lens, product images can sometimes show the camera with a lens attached for illustrative purposes.

Lumix S9 - the best portable full frame mirrorless
strider47 Posted
S9 is one of the smallest full frame mirrorless cameras available. Great list of features including open-gate video, dynamic LUT, IBIS, fast and accurate auto-focus. This is my favorite mirrorless camera to date because I can take it anywhere. Bought 3 lenses - 35mm f1.8 (great for low light), 28-200mm telephoto (coupled with hybrid zoom gives you over 600mm of reach!) & 18-40mm retractable (most portable - best to bring on vacation).

Hi there! Thank you for your incredible 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear that the Lumix S9 has become your favorite mirrorless camera and that its compact size and impressive features are making it the perfect companion for all your photography adventures. From open-gate video and dynamic LUT to IBIS and fast, accurate autofocus, it sounds like the S9 is delivering everything you need in a portable full-frame camera. Your lens choices are fantastic too, each one perfectly suited for different scenarios, from low-light shots with the 35mm f1.8 to incredible zoom capabilities with the 28-200mm telephoto, and of course, the ultra-portable 18-40mm retractable for vacations. It’s wonderful to know you’re getting so much versatility out of your setup! Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope the S9 continues to capture all your favorite moments beautifully. - F <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/stratos-logos/logos/Panasonic.png" alt="Panasonic" title="Panasonic" style="display: block !important; margin-top: 2em !important; border: 1px solid #ccc !important; padding: 2px !important; background-color: white !important;" />

EDC for my every day needs.
Ibg85 Posted
Paid for a new camera, but the camera was obviously opened and used before it was shipped to me. It was dirty and protective sleeves were missing. Best buy would not do anything to help. I've paid for open box items and had good luck with them. I did not buy this as an open box though. The camera itself works well and is much better than expected from reviews I've read and seen online. It does what is advertised to do. Great quality pictures at an affordable price. Yes, we all know by now it has no EVF, mechanical shutter or hot shoe, but honestly Lumix never tried to sell us this camera as a professional one with everything we need. It's a light and fun camera. I don't understand the hate for it. So many others are missing what the S9 is missing, but yet they cost twice as much and people don't complain about them as much as they have about the S9. If you don't see yourself using it, then don't buy it. Simple as that. No need to spread your hate for it. It's an awesome EDC if you pair it with a smaller lens.

Packing light and cute
Marlon Posted
Great camera for amateurs and hobbyists. Planning taking this on trip and making memories. Camera takes brilliant pictures still, wanna get into some videography aside from still pics seems to be a choice with all it has to offer just some drawbacks such as a mechanical shutter and a evf aside from that its pretty awesome.

Great camera!
RachelL Posted
A full frame camera at this size and price point is incredible. This camera is super fun and easy to use. It’s so much more portable than my Canon DSLR, so I have a feeling I’ll find myself reaching for it often. I do wish it had an EVF, but it isn’t a deal breaker considering how much camera you’re getting for the price. The kit lens is nice for a kit lens. I got the 20-60 zoom lens, so it covers a nice focal length range. I also picked up a 50mm and the 100mm macro and I’m sure I’ll be using both of those more often, but the kit lens is nice and sharp. The IBIS in this camera works great and the built in LUTS are game changing.

Compact Powerhouse: The Versatile Lumix S9
Mark50 Posted
Using the Lumix S9 feels like the camera just gets me. From the moment I picked it up, the layout made sense — no digging through menus or guessing what button does what. Switching between photo and video is seamless, and the compact body means I can take it everywhere without the bulk. It’s fast, responsive, and the image quality is stunning. For someone who creates on the go, it’s not just a tool — it’s part of the flow.

Great Camera, Great price
Doc99 Posted
I really enjoy my Lumix S9. I was able to get it open box which was overall well kept. I also bought the warranty. The picture quality is excellent. There is some limitations in distance photos, but perhaps a different lens will be better equipped.

Trying too hard…
JDesai Posted
Overall, this is a poorly conceptualized camera that is trying to achieve best of both worlds. But thats my perspective. Ergonomics wise the IBIS doesn’t lock when camera is OFF is really freaky. No HOT shoe at this pricetag is absolutely nuts. Also there are no LENSES to make this “pocketable” Otherwise the LUT lab is pretty awesome and the XPAN is freaking amazing but not worth the pricetag.
