Panasonic's new photography flagship takes some useful steps forward from the video powerhouse GH5, from upgraded autofocus and image stabilization to 20 fps burst speed and a massive 80-megapixel high resolution mode. Here are our thoughts and sample images.

Impressive

Quality product, ergonomically well designed, enormous number of features and very impressive lens - bought on line and properly packaged and competitively priced - not cheap but for serious photos worth it

Panasonic Lumix G9 review

Panasonic commits to stills photography with its new high-speed, high-end mirrorless camera...

20/60fps continuous shooting; 4K UHD video; Fast and effective autofocus

Some viewfinder lag in burst mode; Smaller sensor than most rivals; Lacks DSLR battery life

Simply Superb!

For a micro four thirds camera is full of stunning useful features. Great for travel, great for wild life. Great for portraits. Great for creativity. Why 6K and 4K photo. High definition 80mega pixel feature. Up to 60 frames a second burst speed. Multi exposure picture. Fantastic video too.
