Back in February Photons to Photos tested the Panasonic Lumix G9 II dynamic range and it showed that there was a dynamic range loss when using the electronic shutter. But author Bill Claff now admitted to have committed an error and re-tested, with results now showing the performance is about the same as with mechanical shutter.
Gerald Undone created quite a big buzz because of his “accusations” towards Lumix and Influencers. I found the guys from PetaPixel gave a balanced and respectful answer you should absolutely listen to:
Also CineD shared their opinion about this:
And here is Sean Robinson from Lumix sharing his thoughts:
Our reader Jakub sent me a link to a ‘leaked’ information about a new camera. Now, if I shared this link publicly someone would get in trouble and probably get fired. So I’m keeping it under wraps for now, unless some other website publishes it and forces me to report it. In essence, this ‘leak’ tells us this:
It is an APS-C L-mount (I think this is very unlikely).
We know that Panasonic has registered three new Lumix cameras in China. One is for the new Lumix S9. The other two cameras have yet to be announced. it sounds pretty unusual for Panasonic to unveil a new camera two weeks only after the major S9 announcement. But the “leak” seems pretty accurate to me. I still don’t know what to expect, all I got is info from a new source saying this is a new MFT camera…but this is not a confirmed info yet.
After playing with it I see the app gives you the ability to share any downloaded LUTs using the standard Android share menu. This means you can email them or upload them to cloud storage like Google Drive. Then you can use them in desktop apps (Photoshop, Resolve, etc) or copy them to cameras not currently supported by the Lab App.
