Even though I have a G9, I'm back to listen to David talk about it. RIP Mr. Thorpe.

1st Jan 2023, and going back to watch David Thorpe's wonderful videos. Very much missed, but so glad we have the channel here still as a great treasure trove.

I bought my G9 recently. It truly is an incredible tool. David’s book on the menu has been a great help and worth every penny. Thank you David.

David Thank You. Not just for this review but for the many I have watched and rewatched. I really appreciate your well reasoned opinions and informed analysis. I’ve invested now in a MFT setup and following your ideas I just couldn’t be more pleased. The 8-18, 25, 42.5, 40-150, MC-1.4, and a G9 are so versatile and cover everything I want or need while traveling and on the go. Lighter and fewer lenses than my FF system. So again Thank You. Also your GH5 book has been a big help getting a grip on the GH5 and the G9

This is the review I've been waiting for for this camera. This channel is my go-to for M43 info. Thank you!

As always, this is the best and yet also most concise review I've seen for this camera. I really wish someone what could take up your style and efficacy in reviewing for the Fuji X series cameras and lenses...

I'm too happy with my G8 to get a new camera anytime soon but I love these reviews for your soothing voice alone.

You're opening statement is exactly what I was thinking as well. It's a serious stills camera and currently a best seller in many areas.

I briefly tried out the camera in my local New York camera store. Two things I noticed and the first is: the grip is very significant. Feels bigger than the Canon 5DMKII I used to have. Or maybe it's because I got rid of that camera 3 years ago and just decided to use my smaller and much funner to use APS-C Canon 50D and then only my GX8 for the last 18 months. So maybe it's just a familiarity issue. I did also notice that I could maneuver the camera easier. I didn't feel I was using my finger tips as much. That's a good thing.

The next was sharpness. They had the G9 mated to a Nocticron. My gosh, I thought my GX8 and Nocticron was sharp! This is a whole other level! The lack of AA makes such a huge difference.

My majors are fashion and portraiture with minors in events and street photography. So the speed of the camera is largely lost on me. But the ergonomics, pro functions, customization and accessories make the G9 the most exciting camera I've seen in a long time. 

Keep up the great work! Best G9 review I've seen!

David, I bought your book “The Panasonic Menu System Simplified” on Amazon and it is extremely helpful. Thanks for that whole series of books.

The amount of information squeezed into each sentence had me rwd and rwd... Great review! This equals 10 reviews from other Utube channels

Great review, thanks. I don't know why so many reviewers say that the shutter release is too sensitive, I find it perfect, smooth and responsive (and I am oldish and clumsy). You get used to it's responsiveness after the first few uses.

Great video. For the video capabilities I would say the G9 can be a superior option for some over both the GH5 and GH5s. If you intend to shoot 4K 50 and desire best AF in Panasonic camera and best image stabilisation then the G9 does it better. The GH5 has worse AF and slightly worse stabilisation. The GH5S is powerful but of course lacks any body stabilisation. The GH5 10bit internal is nice but that is for only lower frame rate in 4K. To those making videos mostly handheld and in 4K 50/60, the G9 takes the cake (as long as not intending to shoot more than 10 mins at a time, not a problem for me). Good video chap.

These things are getting complex! I just stepped up from a GH3 as my workhorse camera and I'm blown away by how many things can be customized. When your review started adding up how many custom modes, function buttons, that lever and the custom menu, I knew I was in trouble. I had the advanced manual printed, and there are post-it notes sticking out everywhere, reminding me what my custom settings are... It has so many features that I've owned it for 3 weeks and I haven't yet tried the high-res mode. I expected more of a comparison between the G9's IBIS and the Olympus version. I guess once one camera does the impossible, all others are just expected to catch up.

As previously mentioned, I've also been waiting for your review of the G9. As an editorial photographer myself, it's your background that makes for a truly 'user review', knowing you'll be looking for the same functionality from a camera as me. So thank you for yet another excellent video.

As usual, your review is more practical and articulate that almost any other on YouTube. Thank you.

Impressive camera and very well presented review, but that zoom lens @ 9:27 must be a beast to carry around! ;)
