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

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

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

Wow, my best Lumix yet
I am looking for something to photograph, I just love this camera. I thought my g85 was great, this makes that camera one of myother cameras. Although there are many positives, one that is immediately apparent is the position of the buttons. On my G5, GX7,and G85, the display button was right under my thumb, and on too many occasions was selected by accident. The G9 has a clear pathway for my thumb, no buttons. Besides theirplacement, I also like... Show More

Ultimate
OK, so "ultimate" suggests I'm possibly just uncritical, a sold out fan boy. So let's get two minor negative aspects ... minor to ME ... out of the way. 1. In the photo world at large m43 is not usually considered "ultimate, at least for stills. True. 2. The body is as large as many cameras that provide a larger sensor. IOW you could quite justifiably call it oversize [for its format]. If those two things are of little concern to t... 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

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.

DC-G9 Features Win the Day
Have to admit that I had reached a point of frustration yesterday. I was ready to contact B&H for a return. Reviews have stated that Panasonic's implementation of noise reduction is "heavy-handed". As the camera arrives in its default settings mode, I must agree. I have what I think are good, sharp, Panasonic lenses, but I was encountering a lot of difficulty in getting what looked like a well-detailed image. At the exact point of focus, things l... Show More

With the G9, Panasonic got it!
After 30 years of pro. Photography, I started with the Panasonic system 4 years ago with the tiny GM1. I quickly moved up with the GM5, and then GH5 last year. I just got the G9 last week. My other cameras are a Nikon system (D800/D850) and Leica M-D/MP as a legacy system. For the last 3 years, I have taken 90% of my shoots with my Panasonic cameras... The G9 is a dream comes true. Compared to the GH5, the top LCD screen is a real improvement. No... Show More

Great image/video quality, but design flaws spoil the fun
I got this camera mostly for shooting sports videos and stills at fairly long distances. By using the Ext. Tele Conv feature (a sensor crop zoom) I can pull far away subjects into range easily. Another positive is the 4K/60p video feature, which is perfect for slow-motion video, and also delivers 8mp frames. Since these are high quality and with enough resolution to print out nicely at 8x10 or even 12x15, I no longer have to decide each time do I... Show More

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

Progress Report
Had this some weeks now and still discovering more wonders. I tend to believe a camera should just provide the basics, and simply do a quality job at it doing that. Now I realize that such an attitude developed becuz cameras were cluttered with too many reeeeally stooopid toy features. OTOH the G9 has numerous features beyond plain basics that are really useful functional features that help me do the same things that Ive always done, but do them ... Show More

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

Love the camera, software is for Windows only :-(
I've only just begun to learn all the features on the Panasonic G9 but so far I really like the camera. I was very much on the fence about going with a Micro Four Thirds system but now that I'm using it I'm quite happy with the results. I was using a Nikon with a APS-C DX sensor, so was concerned about dropping down in size, but so far I'm satisfied with the image quality. Excellent image stability, sharpe lens.

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

Excellent Pro level MFT Camera
At this point of time I believe the 3 top notch Pro level MFT Cameras are the Olympus E-M1 MK II, Panasonic GH5 and the Panasonic Lumix DC G9. This will of course change over the time. I own both the Olympus E-M1 MK II and this Lumix DC G9 camera. Considering the pros and cons I would give the Olympus E-M1 MK II a notch due to the setup and menus are being more intuitive, easier to get the setup the way you want it. On this DC G9 it is mor...

If youre looking for a top notch micro MFT (micro four thirds) camera the Panasonic G9 could be it. I use mine for general photography, but also as part of a more portable spherical panorama set up, either from a light tripod or pole (with 8 mm). The camera can be remotely operated the via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or a wireless remote (remote jack on side, I use a Vello remote).

Panasonic's Gift to Photographers

But I have some nice Lumix lenses and the battery is identical to the GH4. That, plus the nice price sealed the deal. The photos are far and away better then the GH4, and I think the video is too.

Make sure you know how big this is!
I upgraded from the G85 to the G9. I did this for the G9s uncropped 4k, improved stabilization, bigger sensor and the overall increased feature set (eg out of the box awesome timelapse, etc). I think this is a fantastic camera, and I am still getting to know it in intimate detail. The uncropped 4k is great. The price you pay is that this camera is SIGNIFICANTLY bigger than the G85, like 40% bigger and heavier. It is close (but not quite as bad)... 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
