    The S9 should be illegal for how much value it offers in such a small package. I have a Canon Powershot V1, I've owned the Sony ZV1 mkii, ZV10 mkii and I currently own a ZVE1. Those cameras are all amazing as well, but the Lumix S9 puts them all to shame. The Real Time Lut feature is super fun for causal family photos and videos to get a cool look right out of camera. But it's also professional use capable. You can upload your own presets RIGHT to the camera, and get a perfect look right in a Jpeg with no editing needed. then sync the camera directly to your phone, and get the professional quality images immediately for sharing. I used it for my own baby shower, on the 4th of July, and at several weddings also. This thing can be fun as a toy, but is also powerful enough for power-users like myself. L-Mount lenses have come a long way! The 18-40mm kit lens isn't great in the dark but for a small walk around package- it's a pretty awesome little form factor. The images I attached were with the Sigma 28-45mm F1.8 Highly recommend.

With a high-resolution one inch sensor and advanced image processing capabilities, this camera delivers sharp and detailed images with vibrant colors.

In addition to its excellent image quality, the Lumix S9 also excels in low-light conditions, thanks to its wide ISO range and fast lens.

The camera's autofocus system is fast and accurate, ensuring that you never miss a moment when capturing subject. its a top contender in its class, offering exceptional image quality, performance, and versatility.

    Been shooting with the Lumix S9 for a couple weeks now, and honestly, it’s become my go-to camera for everyday content. It’s super compact, feels great in the hand, and looks awesome. Image quality is fantastic: crisp details, beautiful colors, and great low-light performance. I like how easy it is to get creative on the fly. The LUT button lets me switch things up instantly, and the app connection makes sharing straight to social media effortless. Video recording is smooth, and the autofocus has been rock-solid. No viewfinder and the grip’s a bit flat, but those are small trade-offs for how portable and fun this thing is.

    It would have been nice to include a more appropriate lens for closer shots as that's what the camera is first and foremost meant to be used for.
