Lumix G9 vs Lumix G95

A hands-on comparison of the Panasonic Lumix G9 and the Lumix G95. Which one is right for you?

[randyking]

The G9 is a very nice camera, I bought mine 2 years ago and I still think it is amazing what all it can do.

Nice review. I got the G95 the year it came out, waited for it to come below 1, 100 new. Have been very happy with it. Got it to upgrade my G7 but still have and use both.

Great video! You managed to pack a lot of info into 5:43 minutes as opposed to other vloggers who yammers on for 20 minutes and say nothing new.

I love my G95, but it doesn't get much interest elsewhere. I also have the S5, which actually may be a bit smaller than the G9. So I find the G95 and S5 make a great combo.

I've been tempted by Panasonic Micro 4/3s for some time now. I just spotted the G95 from B&H for $699. It comes with the G95, the 12-60mm lens, a 128GB Memory Card, a case, and a UV Filter. It was too good a deal to pass up, so I went for it. It should arrive in 2 days.

About 5 years ago I went a Panasonic event where I could try out their M4/3s cameras. I was very impressed by the G85, but I didn't go out and purchase one at the time. Now I'm getting the improved model.

Both great cameras, recently managed to lose my GH5 ii camera so back to using my G90 for now, I think the G90 is great for what it is and a fantastic travel and reconnaissance camera but G90 has had some fantastic updates, good to see both cameras holding their own.

Perfect video! Exactly what I was looking for! 🙌🏻

[mrnicelynicely]

The G9 was my entree in the Micro4/3 world, and your appraisal of it matches my own, fantastic value for the money -particularly appreciate the viewfinder as an eyeglass wearer, and being weather-sealed it's always good to go. I also have Olympus and Fuji, but the G9 is my 'A' camera.

great vid! ive just ordered a g9, i have a g85 and I love it, hope the g9 to be better. Saludos from Mexico!

[ModyKhan]

Nice video. Keep it coming, and I'm not new to photography but new to G95 and trying to learn a lot. Please post more videos of all the modes. Subd to your channel.

One other thing I would mention is the G9 with the 2.5 firmware update has 10bit recording, whereas the G95 for now records at 8bit max.

Thanks, great review, right to the point and very helpful. I have a GX850 which I will keep. It's perfect with my 20mm f1.7, but I need a larger body and ibis for my 200mm

I had the G90 -as it is called in Europe- but sold it and bought a Nikon DSLR. After view months I regret and decided to go for the G9. And yes I agree for the G90 there is no recording limit in 4K but dealing with the crop factor can be annoying. So even with the recording limit on the G9 I will go for it. Thumbs up for the nice video.

Okay so there are some improvements on G9, but in exchange you paid more. For myself I think g95 can do the job for me. Thanks for review!

[Lepewhi]

I believe the G9 has weather sealing. So, for birding, animals, outdoors activities where weather might be an issue, that might be a consideration.

[FrankBlain]

Thank you much, the limited record time of the g9 is a major deal breaker for me good to know, the g9 is pretty unless for video huge shame with 4K60 "sad".

[mmartel]

I think it would have been a better review if you talked about the big differences in autofocus modes (human and animal on G9, focus near or far priority; g95 has only dace/eye detect but can't track bodies or turned-away faces, no animal detect, etc.) and frame rates (no crop 1080p at 180 fps on G9 with autofocus vs 1080p at 120fps on G95 with no autofocus, 6k photo mode vs 4k on G95, and 20fps RAW burst and pre-burst on G9 vs 11 fps RAW and no pre-burst on G95). Also would have been good to have you explore video autofocus differences in continuous AF situations. I'm a G95 owner and think it's a great camera for hybrid stills + video but surely the G9 is quite a bit more capable on virtually every other front except for record limits.

There is a lot to like about the G90. It is a better vlogging and social media camera that the G9. Has modes that manufacturers deem "ammateur" like panorama mode, which makes it very useful to me. I love its better in-camera editing, lighter weight, unlimited recording, and the 4K crop, similar to the GH4, helps extend tele reach. It makes it a very complimentary camera to the G9.

[viveviveka]

Thank you for the review. Both of these cameras are on my short list. The Sony a6600 is another. If you could have just one camera and one lens, and cost differences were not the deciding factor, which body and lens would you choose? For still photography (I will be doing a lot of wildflower and macro photography, and color fidelity and ability to capture subtle colors and nuances are high priorities for me.)

I have a G85 and I'm considering getting another body. I was considering the G9 or the GH5ii but I need to take another look at he G95 because I prefer that body style over the G9.
