Built for speed - the New Lumix G9

Panasonic have concentrated on speed when designing this highly anticipated Micro Four Thirds camera, the Lumix G9. Firstly there are the focusing speeds which are blistering, with thanks to a 225 point contrast detection system. Then there is the continuous shooting rate of up to 20 frames per second with the mechanical shutter, or faster with the electronic shutter. Speed isn't everything though, so Panasonic haven't neglected their imaging specs, with a 20.3 Live MOS sensor along for the ride. This sensor works in unison with the latest Venus Engine processor to produce sharp and detailed pictures throughout the wide ISO range, as well as enabling 4K resolution video.

The Panasonic Lumix G9 has been built tough, utilising magnesium alloy and a die-cast body, rendering the camera dust and splash-proof. Within this rugged body is a 5-axis sensor-shift image stabiliser, which can be taken one step further when using a stabilised Lumix lens, unleashing Dual IS 2 technology. Both a large OLED viewfinder and a 3-inch, touch sensitive vari-angle LCD screen are on board to help you find the perfect option to frame your image, every single time. As an added bonus a top status LCD has been included for quick viewing of important settings.

Built-in Wi-Fi, bluetooth and NFC connectivity allow you to share your images directly to your smart device, as well as enabling you to control your Lumix G9 remotely. A joystick on the rear of the camera has been made available for quickly and efficiently adjusting shooting settings, such as the focus point.

A Fabulous MFT Camera
Peter, Sunshine Coast, 29/01/2018

At last Panasonics G9 is a worthy stills camera challenging the big boys and is also capable of great 4K video. I have had the camera for 10 days and have used it virtually every day to see if the hype was correct. This camera has many advantages over Nikon and Canon gear which I own as well. We are talking D 500 and 7 D mark 2 with the appropriate lenses for wildlife photography of especially birds. I travel extensively and have wanted a lightweight system and have tried Olympus, Panasonic and Sony gear. All can be commended but none have ever excelled in the auto focus ability over Nikon and Canon especially when you do a lot of birds in flight photography. I have tried the EM 1 mark 2 but it cannot match the big boys and I can't justify the Sony A 9 at that price and cannot say wether it is a worthy competitor. However, if I look at the advantages and disadvantages of the new G 9 over the heavier Nikon and Canon gear it comes out a clear winner in my opinion by far. I would still say auto focus with contrast detection is a tad better than Panasonic's auto focus that has been average in the Gh3,4,5 and GX 8 but in the G9 it is no slouch and is not far behind the big guys if at all. It is extremely fast but I have noticed that when the lens is way off focus from a previous subject that the auto focus can struggle acquiring focus if contrast is poor. To overcome this I just focus on a object like a leaf or twig near the subject often a bird in my case and then focus on my subject but it is very fast and accurate. Once you are on the subject it is a good as the Nikon and Canon at least using the sharp Panasonic/Leica 100-400 and the Olympus 40-150 Pro lenses. I haven't tried other lenses yet. I am going to Africa for 2 months this year and I know what gear is coming with and I won't have any problem carrying the gear as I am 66 now and the big and wonderful gear will be much reduced. I have contemplated full frame cameras and note that cropping 40 mega pixels still gives incredible results, but lets face it how often do we print anything over 8 x 10. I know in my case that is very seldom and on a 20 mega pixel camera you can far exceed the resolution needed for a great print and that includes doing some cropping. Then lets face it DSLR's that don't have a fully articulated screen are a huge disadvantage with video and that includes the Sony A 9. All the bells and whistles like focus peaking and a histogram display that can be used while analysing the video or still before you press record and Panasonic is as good as it gets for 4K. To top it off you can save stills from video in camera. Do pre-burst so that you have a greater chance of get that moment you have been waiting for and often miss in most other cameras. Focus staking, well the list goes on and on. Incredible, good on you Panasonic. BTW Maroochdore Teds is the best camera store and the staff are fantastic.

Pros: Easy to use, Compact, Build quality, Battery life, Screen size
