Panasonic’s Lumix S1 and G9 Digital Double Act
David Thorpe:
The S1 and the G9 Panasonics are a truly unique digital double act. How do the Full Frame S1 and Micro Four Thirds G9 stand up against one another? Is bigger better? Or is nimbler nicer?

Panasonic G90 Review at Photographyblog: “great B-cam to accompany the flagship GH5/GH5s cameras”
Photographyblog tested the new Panasonic G90 (G95). The conclusion:
Panasonic have moved the Lumix G90 in a different direction to previous versions. They’ve added several major new features to make it more video-friendly, namely the unlimited recording time, free built-in V-Log L profile, slow-motion recording at 120fps, and the addition of a headphone jack, making it a great B-cam to accompany the flagship GH5/GH5s cameras.
There have also been some improvements on the stills side of things, too, most notably the latest 20 megapixel sensor with no low-pass filter, USB charging and power delivery, new Live View Composite mode, new dedicated buttons for white balance, ISO and exposure compensation, and Bluetooth connectivity. Whilst these are all nice-to-haves, there’s definitely less to get excited about for stills photographers than for videographers in terms of new features.
Both user groups will be less than impressed by the price hike that all of these new features have warranted, with the G90’s launch price jumping up some £$200 when compared to the G80’s launch price back in 2017. With the street price of the G80 naturally now much lower, we feel that photographers who mainly shoot stills should definitely consider the older model if they can find one on sale, whilst videographers will definitely be best served by the new Lumix G90.
Preorders:
G95 at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera.
14-140mm II lens at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera.

STC Launch Clip Filter Range for Olympus Cameras
Taiwanese masters of imaging innovation, STC, continues to expand its ground-breaking range of Clip Filters, revealing new products for Olympus cameras and Micro Four Thirds systems.
Extending the series of STC Clip Filters to users of Olympus’ M43 system opens up greater possibilities, not to mention savings, from the brand’s innovative technology and market-leading quality.
Launching originally for use with Sony full-frame sensor systems, the exciting range of Clip Filters is now starting to reach a broader pool of photographers than ever before
Innovation in Imaging
Since their first arrival, STC’s Clip Filters have been causing a stir within the global photographic community. The brand’s superior coatings and optical qualities are second to none. Couple this with the cost-saving that comes with the product’s ‘ONE FILTER ANY LENS’ unique selling point, and the result is hard to resist!
Designed and engineered to fit securely in the camera mount, the Clip Filters from STC allow users to change lenses freely, offering more flexibility when on location without worrying about moving the filter from lens to lens as it sits in the camera body. Changing the way photographers shoot for the better.
Gone is the historic need for multiple filters and adapters. Cutting down time and preparation are just some of the reasons why STC Clip Filters are such an attractive option for so many image makers.
William Wu, CEO and Lead Design Engineer, STC Optical and Chemical, said:
“Since launching our range of Clip Filters, we have seen a great number of photographers adopting the new technology for the many benefits that they offer. Initial installation fears quickly disappear once people see the results of our excellent products; the fact that only a single filter is required for use with any lens is a real bonus. We are excited to announce our range of Clip Filters for Olympus/M43 systems as we continue with our rollout of compatible products.”
