Special 4K and 6K photo modes may be one of the most under-appreciated features on recent cameras. After all, with today’s models boasting impressive performance and high frame rates, why would you need them? In this week’s episode, Chris and Jordan take a closer look at these modes and explain why – and when – you’ll be glad to have them on your camera.

Dpreview added the Panasonic Lumix DC-GX9 on their studio scene comparison:
“Our technical evaluation of the Panasonic GX9 has included a trip to the studio, where we put its 20MP Four Thirds sensor in front of our standard test scene. We’ve seen solid image quality from this sensor before, but Panasonic says that it has gone one step further and improved color rendition compared to both the 20MP GX8 and 16MP GX85. Take a closer look at its performance against its predecessors as well as its peers.”
PhotonsToPhotos tested the G9 sensor performance. And it shows the best Panasonic performance yet. It only gets slightly beaten by the Olympus E-M1II.

Cinema5D tested the new Panasonic FT7:
The Panasonic LUMIX FT7 is certainly a rugged outdoor travel companion that can do it all, whether you take it to the mountain, a sandy beach or underwater. But can it do it well? It sells for about $450, which is a considerable amount of money. For the price it offers a lot of features, great robustness, nice picture and colors out of the box, but I am still struggling somewhat to define the sweet spot and who it is for. A 40mm wide angle in 4k as a starting point, no lens filter thread, a viewfinder that leaves a lot to be desired and a rear LCD screen that barely can see in direct sunlight are quite limiting. In addition, the lens when zoomed in all the way to 128mm is quite soft. The underwater capabilities are nice but keep in mind the additional underwater telephoto effect.
