Panasonic Lumix G9 review by CameraLabs: “high-performance camera that’s a joy to use”

Share


Panasonic G9 at BHphoto. Amazon. Adorama. FocusCamera. AmazonDE. Wex UK.

Gordon from CameraLabs writes:

The Lumix G9 is a confident high-performance camera that’s a joy to use. The tough weatherproof body feels great in your hands with excellent controls, there’s an enormous viewfinder image, a fully-articulated touchscreen with an excellent user interface, fast autofocus and burst shooting that can track action, very effective built-in stabilisation, and great image and video quality from the 20 Megapixel Four Thirds sensor that rivals 24 Megapixel APSC sensors at all but the highest sensitivities. The composite High Res mode genuinely delivers greater detail with the right subjects, there’s charging and power over USB, powerful wireless features tied together by Bluetooth, and Panasonic’s cunning 6K and 4K photo modes that make it easy to capture a moment before you push the shutter or adjust the focus after the event. There’s little to complain about: you get used to the very sensitive shutter release and visual fluttering during continuous AF, and while the ten minute limit to 4k at 50p or 60p seems mean compared to the GH5, who else even offers 4k at 50p or 60p at this price? Plus you still get half hour clips at 30p. In use you feel there’s little the G9 can’t handle and it’s highly competitive at the $1699 RRP.

Panasonic GH5s now in Stock in the USA. And tested by Dpreview: “results are hugely impressive”

Share

For the very first time the new Panasonic GH5s is in Stock in the USA via BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, FocusCamera and Panasonic.

And right in time Dpreview published their full GH5s review:

The GH5S is a highly specialized filmmakers’ camera that makes few concessions to anything but this core purpose. An excellent sensor combined with high bitrate, 10-bit 4:2:2 capture means the results are hugely impressive. Add an external recorder and these benefits remain, even for both UHD and DCI 60p capture. The loss of stabilization means it’s limited to gimbal or tripod work but in those circumstances, it shines.

The camera earned the Gold Award and this is their list of PROS and CONS:

Karsten:Last week we presented at CMT trade Stuttgart our latest road movie – produced with an Olympus E-M1 Mark II. Now it is available on youtube. We travelled round Gotland by recumbent bikes and discovered the Gotlandsleden, a long distance bicycle trail.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=70s&v=LzGBBUfnchg
We were amazed about the IS performance. Even on gravel roads we didn’t use any gimbal and were more than satisfied with the Olympus’ results.
Our lenses:
Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8
Panasonic 7-14mm f4.0
Olympus 50-200mm f2.8-3.5
Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f0.95
MfT is definitely our first choose for high quality travel documentations.
