Amazing camera. I'm a professional videographer, and I needed a compact full-frame camera. This camera shoots 6K Open Gate and completely covers my needs as a B-camera. By the way, the kit lens turned out to be surprisingly good. Highly recommended.

MONSTER little camera.

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.

After researching and testing several models, I have found that the Lumix S9 offers exceptional quality and performance, making it a top choice for photography enthusiasts. The Panasonic Lumix S9 boasts impressive features that set it apart from other cameras in its class. With a high-resolution one inch sensor and advanced image processing capabilities, this camera delivers sharp and detailed images with vibrant colors. Whether you're shooting portraits, landscapes, or action shots, the Lumix S9 produces stunning results every time. 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. This makes it a versatile camera that can handle a variety of shooting situations with ease. 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. I highly recommend considering the Lumix S9. I suggest investing in an off-market rig for this camera to ensure a stable grip. It will significantly enhance your photography experience and improve the quality of your shots.

I use my S9 for pictures/cinematic video/ vlogs And I think this is the best purchase I’ve made in a while. It’s only over heated on me one time but it was super hot out and I was recording for 35 minutes straight

Amazing compact full frame
KLK311 Posted
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.

Very good quality and versatile camera
mangata9058 Posted
The camera is very good to shoot at night, especially with the Lumix original S series 50mm lens. The original 18-40mm is portable and good for travel and video. I don't think the cold shoe is an issue here, since I need to use separate lights for portraits anyway.
