The Lumix G9 is the new benchmark for Micro Four Thirds.

Great build quality; Intelligent control layout; 80MP high-resolution mode; 5-axis in-body stabilization; 6K photo and 4K video

Burst rate has odd limitations; Smaller sensor than similarly sized/priced competitors

Great camera. Have a G7 and it's better than that, far more features. Love having two SD cards If there is one thing, well two actually, against it, then those are The battery charger is USB not mains The 60FPS in 4K is only for 10 minutes max.

The Lumix G9 is a confident and tremendously satisfying camera, and like the Olympus OMD EM1 Mark II and Sony Alpha A9 before it, continues to redefine what we can expect from high-end mirrorless bodies.

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.

I wrote a recent review on the G 9 and remarked at what a wonderful camera it is. Please understand the 2 star rating was a mistake that I could not correct on my iPad. This is a 5 star camera for sure in my opinion. The uploaded images are jpegs straight out of the camera and not edited at all.

One of the more interesting aspects about Panasonic's Lumix camera line-up is the way that each model - while often tilted towards different situations and contexts - inevitably informs the next.

Night mode; Shoulder-mounted information display; 6.5-stop stablization; 0.04-second autofocus; Weather-sealed design

Videographic capabilities not as robust as GH5

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

I just received the Panasonic G9 that I've preorderd some time ago. It's hack of a camera! The first impression was, WOW this stays so good in the hand that I don't what to let it go. Leaving th jokes aside, I think it has the best ergonomy I've ever laid my hand on, period!

This review continues from where we left off in our First Look overview, which was published in November. We have now been able to spend some time with Panasonic's DC-G9 camera, which was supplied with the H-ES12060E 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 lens.

The Panasonic G9 is one of the most well-balanced Micro Four Thirds camera to date. Capable of super fast burst speeds, with reliable AF as well as good-looking 4K, this camera can easily handle double duty. It offers outstanding image stabilization, great image quality and tons of customization all packed in a reasonably lightweight, weather-sealed body.

Just about any photographer craving a camera that can handle both high-speed still photography and 4K/HD-video duty. Anyone seeking complete control of their camera.;

Serious sports and action shooters, who would be better suited buying a camera with phase detect AF.;
