Great Camera!
I have had Canon 5D MK-iii since it came out and others before the iii. I might keep the 5D and a lens or two just in case of a real special situation but this Lumix G9 is one fantastic camera. It is now my goto camera for all uses. Have a Leica 12-60mm and 8-18mm, super lenses, had Canon pro (white or red stripe) before. Will soon have the Leica 100-400mm and that should be it. I'm not going to extol its virtues, there are plenty of reviews/how-... Show More

great piece of equipment
I switched from a GH4 and the difference in autofocus and low light performance is amazing. This is suited for the photographer in mind, I enjoy doing landscape, sports and wildlife and this baby did not disappoint. Still early in my ownership but the feelings are great already ! USed it for a wedding and performed great!

Been waiting for this one!
I have been waiting for years for this camera ever since I migrated to MFT and specifically the Lumix system. I love the button placement, the menu system is easy to understand, the dials are intuitive and the ergonomics are perfect for my fat hands. I love the way this camera becomes transparent so I can concentrate on the art of photography rather than the mechanics!

G9: The Swiss Army Knife of Cameras...
First off, I am a professional graphic designer, so I use a camera to capture textures, patterns, small products and food, and the occasional landscape. Before investing in quality photography gear a few years ago, I was using stock images and paying an absurd amount of money each year for images that were mostly MEH. So I decided I would only buy stock images for the specific types of photos that I couldn't take myself. Then a lit... Show More

Almost perfect
Rented this camera for 4 days. Took it out for a few shoots: a soccer game, hiking, dog park and Father's Day gathering. Obviously this camera is bigger than every m43 camera besides the GH5/5s, but it excels in the ergonomics. The top panel LCD is really handy. I think professionals are going to really appreciate it. However, the backlight goes away a bit too quickly and there's no setting to toggle the duration. The grip is good, but not as com... Show More

Mission Accomplished
I've been shooting LUMIX Micro 4:3 (MF3) for 3 years and it's taken over all areas of my DSLR photography (except no light night sky landscapes). As a shooter who does mostly low light photography and video, Panasonic finally tuned the processor and sensor to meet my low light needs. The LUMIX G9 has everything I wanted in a camera. Great speedy controls, massive customization and control ability. A stabilizer that allows me to get smooth 4K... Show More

SO much better JPEG color than my G7
With my G7, which I traded in to get a G9, I shot raw all the time because the JPEG colors were not satisfying (to me). I knew I could produce something I'd like better than the OOC JPEG. The G9 is GREATLY improved. I am very impressed with its JPEG engine. I've been shooting RAW + JPEG fine. Sometimes the JPEGs look better than the RAW, and I have to adjust the raw carefully to get something that looks in any way better than the JPEG. Blue skies... Show More

Super Camera!
Great solid feel ... love this camera with the additional battery grip. Reminds me of the feel of a Nikon F5 which I loved. And of course the quality images are superb!

The Best Micro 4/3 EVER! And I've used them all!
I have been a photographer for about 45 years now. I have shot with everything you can imagine, in every format. Cameras from Nikon, Canon, Minolta,Rolleiflex, Leica, Hasselblad, Fuji, Sony, Panasonic and the list goes on. This New Lumix G-9 is absolutely the most exciting camera I have ever used. It's fast, sharp, excellent in low light, perfect control layout, ergonomically perfect in my hand, incredible Viewfinder, Video is the best so far, n... Show More

Perfect Camera
I gave a number of Lumix cameras but the DC-G9 has become my favorite. It is a still shooters dream come true. All the buttons and dials are perfectly placed. I enjoy dong wildlife photography and it is the ideal camera.

Fantastic Camera
This camera exceeds all my expectations. Focus is quick and accurate and range of features that are great. Photo was shot using the Panasonic Lumix G9 and the Laowa 7.5mm lens. Exposure was 20 seconds, f/2.0 and ISO 1600.

Lightweight, excellent ergonomics, awesome autofocus
This is my 4th or 5th Panasonic camera and my 3rd M4/3rds body. My previous M4/3rds body was the GX8. The G9 represents a quantum improvement in autofocus from the GX8. It's at the same autofocus performance level as my Sony a7RIII, excepting the unworldly eye tracking of the Sony. The dials, Custom and function buttons are better laid out than those on the quite admirable Sony. The main program dial is not locked like that of the Sony, but I ha... Show More

You cant beat the crop
The g9 may be the best wildlife camera to date. The price is perfect. 20fps is perfect an the 2X crop is a dream when shooting far. The actual image quality is beautiful. Great camera!! I bought as an purgarse to g7. I have full frame Sonys but just cant get away from micro 4/3s.

As a Videographer...
The amount of versatility the G9 has is far beyond what I couldve hoped for. During a shoot, I feel well equipped to adjust at the request of the client because the G9 can deliver in multiple ways! If I need slow mo, its there, I need to jump to 4K so I can crop later, its there. The 8 bit rate and 4:2:0 color, grades well in post. No worries at all. Its forced me deeper into photography because of its output in that department as well. High Res mode is going to bring a new dynamic to everything.

Really Enjoying This Camera
I bought this is as an upgrade to the G7. I already had two really nice lenses and decided that I was sticking with the micro 4/3 system for the long haul. I really like the form factor of this system and the G7 took really nice photos and videos. I knew when the G9 was announced I'd have to save and upgrade. I'm glad I did. The first thing I noticed when I unboxed the G9 was how different it felt compared to the G7. It felt professional. I'm no... Show More

Heavily Loaded with Features
Just moved up to the G9 from a GX8, which served me well for two years and a half. Probably should've waited for the GX9. Not that there's anything wrong with the G9, but it's a bit bigger and has far more features than I need. You may love them. Everything works and the image quality is excellent. However, I was disappointed in the much-hyped High Resolution features, which moves the sensor around to make multiple exposures, then combines them ... Show More

Amazing For Stills, But Lacking in Video
I bought the G9, upgrading from the G7 and G85, hoping to add another solid hybrid photo/video camera to my MFT kit. I was sold by the larger sensor, more rugged body design, AF controls and 4K 60p video. WHAT IMPRESSED ME: Camera feels great in your hands, perfect size for me as well as weight and the thing just felt sturdy. At first all of the external controls felt overwhelming, but after a week or two of using the camera I became spoiled by... Show More

is mine a lemon?
Camera has horrible low light performance! If you do night photos or low light photos then be prepared to deal with lots of nasty white dots of noise! Even if you put your camera on a tripod plus ISO 100 and you will see that it does not matter! You will get nasty big white dots of noise all over the shadows of the photo as soon as you try to recover information in it! Panasonic GX85 has better noise performance than the G9! It seems that Panason... Show More

I love this camera
Unlike probably many B and H customers, I have never paid this much for a camera before. But I have been enjoying photography so much lately as a hobby, I took a chance on upgrading, and have been very pleased. My previous camera was also a Panasonic (Lumix G6), purchased from B and H. I do still photography, not movies, so this new camera was very intriguing. I have now had the chance to try it out during a short vacation, and am extremely pleas... Show More

Absolutely Wonderful Camera
I'm not going to try and provide additional accolades to this fantastic camera. All the tech info, features and praise can easily be better obtained elsewhere. I'll just say that I've personally shot for decades. Long-time digital Nikon user and Panasonic Lumix user. Currently have Lumix GX-8, GH-5 and now the G9. I don't have a single negative thing to say and would instantly buy any one of my Lumix all over again. Love these cameras.

Blown away!
There isn't a creative and impact-full (enough) way to properly describe how incredible this camera is. Coming from high end Canon systems I was not expecting to love the G9 so much that I would actually sell off my Canon bodies but it has happened. There are so many many great reasons for this to be your camera to be your next camera, literally about a thousand reasons.... but the 2 most important are these: I can take beautiful photos with incr...

Way better than GH5. Best micro 4/3!
I bought the GH5 a while ago and I regretted the minute I tried the video. I immediately I realized that the Olympus OMD 1 mark II had a way better image stabilization for video and photography. The G9 has the best image stabilization that there is out there. With the right lenses is almost as good as any full frame camera for photography. Panasonic make the easiest menus and easy to work with cameras in the market. Love the EVF! Love the ergonom... Show More
