Panasonic Lumix S9, Full Frame Mirrorless Open Gate Vlogging Camera, Black, Body only, 24.2MP, 6K /4K Video, 779 Point PDAF, Image Stabilisation, Free-Angle Screen, 5Ghz WiFi

At its basic level it’s a point and shoot camera using the Auto setting until you delve into the menu system to unleash the true potential. I watched a shed load of YouTube videos posted by some very knowledgeable S9 users. This gave me the basis to understand the menus and how to navigate through them to set the camera up based on my planned usage….theme park memories in a very sunny environment….the 18-40mm kit lens allows for some great variety of shots both during the day and at dusk…still loads to learn but having a lot of fun with this camera and lens combo.

Still getting to know this camera but so far I'm really impressed. I like the full frame, I like the open gates, with the firmware upgrades, I like the extended recording times, I love the customisation of the menu. We all know it doesn't have a viewfinder but honestly the more and more I use it the less and less I feel like I need it. This is a great camera that takes great photos, stunning video. The real time LUTs are really useful. I would recommend this camera to anybody. I think it's probably the best bang for buck you can get right now.

The S9 was released to mixed reviews, its a small camera and has no EVF. But with no small lenses upon release... except an odd manual lens. Now with the 18-40mm the camera is very different sized system... Or even better the Sigma I series contemporary lenses. Image quality is excellent focus is fast and sure with both the 18-40mm and the 24mm Sigma lens. Video is also a very strong on this camera with 6K and 4K recording at various frame rates and very high data rates. As a small and compact full frame camera I think the results are awesome. This has now become my new holiday camera.

Still early days but I love this camera. With the 18-40mm lens it’s compact enough and perfect for walks anywhere. Value is not great though compared to the S5ii which I also own. Picture quality is fantastic like it’s bigger brother, I’m not bothered by the e shutter and had not image quality issues as a result. The only thing I wish it had was an EVF boy do I miss it, always instinctively bringing it up to eye level and remembering I need to use the screen, maybe a Mk2 will fix this. All in though a great little camera

Great camera and great value. The images are amazing even for a novice like me. So much more to learn as I have only been using my phone as a camera up until now. Lots of functionality but Im sure I will learn more as I go along.

Looking to capture memories in confined spaces - in a busy train, at a venue, or somebody's home? This one got your back. The Panasonic S9 delivers strong performance in low light thanks to its full-frame sensor. This is combined with good in-body image stabilisation, making the camera an excellent travel companion. With 6K open-gate video and the wide-angle 18-40mm kit lens you're all set for indoor content creation as well as landscape and architecture photography, capturing the most of the moment rather than feeling claustrophobic. Resolution wise, 24MP doesn't sound like a lot. But with each pixel covering so much more space on the sensor than on a phone it still makes a real difference in the level of detail. There is a super high resolution mode too with 96 megapixels, where the camera takes several pictures in short succession and stitches them together. The camera is easy to use as well with an intelligent auto mode as well as the usual PASM modes. If you run it on full auto then be mindful that the camera might default to relatively slow shutter speeds - which it can get away with thanks to its strong IBIS but not ideal if you are capturing moving people and don't want the motion blur. It's not weather sealed though. It does lack a viewfinder and perhaps more importantly a mechanical shutter. But if you're just upgrading from a phone and don't use flash, this might not be your biggest worry. All in all the pros much outweigh the cons. Especially at this price point the S9 is a unique proposition.

Panasonic may just have created the perfect camera for social and content creators on the go, or anyone looking to step up their games from smartphones, the specs list is impressive but here are the standout features. Full frame 24mp sensor (same sensor as the S5 II and S5 IIX) 6k open gate video (3:2 so you get a bigger frame of footage to allow 16:9 and vertical crops for socials) Real-time luts (change the look of your photo/video with luts from creators saving you time Advanced autofocus with modes for people, animals, cars, bikes and more The form factors is really great, with the 18-40 lens it can still fit in a large pocket which makes this so easy to carry and considering the power and specs of the camera it will be a game changer for your content quality. Best in class stabilisation, the best stabilisation in any mirrorless cameras, lumix is the top tier and it has filtered down to this more compact camera. A few things mission like an evf, but then Lumix are aiming this at people who create on their phones already so an evf will not be missed by most people. I've been shooting video and images on this for 2 days straight now and I can honestly say it is going to be my main camera for my socials and also will make a great b roll camera for my other work, I'm really happy with it, please see my video for more video and images from this camera.

Amo esta cámara. Y tengo varias lumix. Pero al ser compacta. No pesar nada. Es una opción excelente para llevar donde sea. Me encanta.

Camera sottovalutata. Nonostante le mancanze di tasti otturatore e slitta flash ttl è un ottimo prodotto. Ottima come B Cam

excellent

Ich nutze die Panasonic Lumix S9 24.2 MP Mirrorless Digital Camera Body (grün) mit dem 18-40 mm Kit-Objektiv jetzt seit einigen Wochen als meine Hauptkamera für Foto und Video – Zeit für eine ehrliche Bewertung. 📸 Erste Eindrücke & Design Die Lumix S9 wirkt auf den ersten Blick sehr kompakt und stylish – besonders in grün, was sie deutlich von den üblichen schwarz/silbernen Modellen abhebt und ihr einen individuellen Look verleiht. Trotz des Vollformatsensors bleibt das Gehäuse überraschend klein und leicht, was sie ideal für unterwegs macht. Das 18-40 mm Kit-Objektiv passt optisch perfekt zur Kamera: Es ist äußerst kompakt gebaut und verändert die schlanke Silhouette des Systems kaum. 📷 Bild- & Videoqualität Die Bildqualität der Lumix S9 mit ihrem 24,2 Megapixel Vollformatsensor überzeugt – Schärfe, Farbdynamik und Detailwiedergabe liegen auf einem sehr hohen Niveau, besonders für diesen Formfaktor. Selbst bei höheren ISO-Werten bleibt das Rauschverhalten erstaunlich gut kontrolliert. Für Video-Fans ist sie ein echtes Highlight: 6K Open Gate-Aufnahmen und 4K-Video in 10-Bit bieten viel Flexibilität bei der Nachbearbeitung – ideal für Vlogs, Reisen oder kleinere Filmprojekte. Die interne Bildstabilisierung sorgt dafür, dass Aufnahmen aus der Hand auch bei längeren Brennweiten relativ ruhig aussehen. 📦 Objektiv – 18-40 mm Kit Das beigepackte Lumix S 18-40 mm f/4.5-6.3 ist kein lichtstarkes Profi-Objektiv, aber es erfüllt seinen Zweck hervorragend: ✔️ Sehr kompakt und leicht 😃 ✔️ Guter Allround-Brennweitenbereich für Alltag, Reisen und Streetfotografie 📍 ✔️ Schärfe & Kontrast in guter Qualität für einen Kit-Zoom 📸 ✔️ Hybrid-Zoom Funktion erweitert sogar den nutzbaren Bereich ein wenig Allerdings merkt man bei Innenaufnahmen oder bei wenig Licht, dass die maximale Blendenöffnung im Vergleich zu lichtstärkeren Objektiven begrenzt ist – hier ist ein zusätzliches Objektiv oft sinnvoll. 🤔 Bedienung & Praxis Die Bedienung der S9 macht Spaß: Das Menü ist strukturiert, der Touchscreen reagiert schnell und das kompakte Gehäuse fühlt sich hochwertig an. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten sind mir aufgefallen: Kein eingebauter Sucher bedeutet, dass man sich stärker auf den Bildschirm verlassen muss – was nicht für jeden ideal ist. ⭐ Fazit Die Lumix S9 in grün mit dem 18-40 mm Kit-Objektiv ist ein hervorragendes Allround-System für alle, die eine leichte, dennoch leistungsstarke Vollformatkamera suchen. Sie kombiniert starke Foto- und Videoeigenschaften mit einem kompakten Formfaktor und hebt sich durch ihre Farbe auch stilistisch von der Masse ab. Besonders geeignet für: 📌 Reisen & Alltag 📌 Content Creator & Social Media 📌 Street- und Landschaftsfotografie Weniger geeignet für: ⚠️ Low-Light-Fotografie stark ohne Zusatzlicht ⚠️ Profi-Videoproduktion mit hohen Ansprüchen ohne Zubehör Wenn man Wert auf ein leichtes, vielseitiges Setup legt – und dabei noch auffallen will –, ist die Lumix S9 inklusive Kit-Objektiv eine Überlegung wert! 📷✨

Compact. Everyday carry-on camera. Shoot the video of my child in a football match, and also good photos for the match!
