Panasonic LUMIX G9 | Hands-On Field Test

The Big Apple provides the backdrop for our latest field test – the recently announced LUMIX G9. One of the world’s fastest cameras, with jaw-dropping image quality to boot, Panasonic’s new stills-focused flagship is a worthy addition to the successful G series. Wex Technical Editor, Matt Higgs, hits the bustling streets of New York with a prototype G9 and offers his thoughts.

Really good pictures and editing. Great job!

[GauravHasabnis]

Lovely photography done with the G9. Nice Review. :)

When you said that this camera has better detail at high ISO than m43rd cameras, do you include the Em1mark II?
Or you just compare to the older 16mp sensor?
Thanks

A very useful insight to this new camera. For me, this video concentrates admirably on the salient aspects, something I appreciate. Some great pics captured here by the G9 and certainly some of the best I've seen anywhere. In order to gain an insight to their technical quality I would love to be able to examine them if made available in JPEG format for download to the PC monitor. Thanks.

what camera used to filming this? is it gh9?

[malikimtiaz]

I have G9 so my question is that, in these pictures what mode you used? Dail M mode? or Dail A mode. because I am searching option for "1/40 sec"?...………... I got the f/9 or f/11 and so on.. when using A mode

Thanks for this video and congratulations for the pictures.
This G9 will certainly be my next purchase, in addition to my GH8.
I would have liked to hear you say something about the lenses you used.

[MrMeshari]

Great photos. Besides the 12-60mm, what lens was used in this video?

[zparna]

Hello. Which camera was used to record this video?

[aquddus]

Hi, Are the stills shown in the vid edited pics or straight out of the camera? Reason I ask is that they seem very vibrant - which I personally like :)

[larsthoren]

The test shots look really good! Panasonic giving the E-M1 mkII a run for the money.

[jaffarbh]

I think the new top screen is redundant for existing Panasonic shooters. Perhaps it is to appeal Canon/Nikon shooters.

[wtfkurtis]

not too many are aware if it's not vlogL, it's 10 stops or less of dynamic range for video. The G9 maybe built nice with features but the DR is pretty weak for stills.

[cameradeal]

Thanks, do you know what is the cool down time between videos? As the g9 is limited to 10 min 4k60 and 30min 4k30 what happens after the camera stops the recording at that limit, can you start the recording right away or do you have to wait (how long)?

[VisueleJari]

What do you think of using this camera with a speedbooster and canon glass?

[igtsoft]

I've read comments about pincushion distorting in the EVF. Do you experience this with your copy of the G9?

[markshirley]

It's the image stabilization in video that interests me on this model is it improved on the GH5 and is the focus touch screen in video.

[bnaqua]

How do the stills look when zoomed in 100%? Are they grainy like the GH5 and G85?

[quicklyfit]

What was the video shot with ? A canon 1dx?

[reluxcinemagoodmemories]

YOU COULD HELP ME TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE CAMERA GH5 AND G9 FOR VIDEO, I DO VERY LITTLE IN PHOTO, I SAW A VIDEO WHICH GH5 IS BETTER IN ISO THAN G9, IS IT TRUE?

THANK YOU AND I'M SORRY
