Panasonic S9 Pros: Size, weight, autofocus, jpg and mp4 file quality, versatility on the video side, L-mount with full compatibility with Sigma and Leica lenses, price Cons: Ergonomics rejected, lack of internal memory Opinion: I don't reproach Panasonic for having given up both the double memory slot and the viewfinder (completely justifiable if you consider the 'mission' of this S9: minimize weight and size to create a pocket-sized and ultralight object). However, I reproach the parent company for having given up an internal memory (Sigma BF style, to be clear) that would have made the S9 much more attractive on the professional front than the reality of the facts. Probably the social and 'freetime' vocation of this product has led to choices that have penalized its usability on the professional front, but with a little effort it could have been possible to arrive at the genesis of a new, innovative and absolutely hybrid camera, also ready to fulfill the role of second body for those who work in the events or journalism sector - just to give examples. After all, the background offered by the technical specifications and the potential of this Lumix are there for all to see, as demonstrated by the internal menu (advanced and articulated as you would expect only from a higher-end camera). A missed opportunity, therefore, given the excellent portability of this product, the quality of its files for immediate use (jpeg on the photo side and mp4 on the video side), the speed and effectiveness of the autofocus, the full compatibility with Sigma and Leica lenses and - last but not least - the decidedly low cost (under 1,000.00 Euros with the January 2026 promotion!). If the 'cons' are not a problem for you and if you are looking for an L-Mount product, then the S9 is an absolutely unmissable camera! N.B. To be purchased strictly in combo with the L-shaped grip of SmallRig, without which in my opinion it becomes almost unusable due to its ergonomics. sent on 19 Aprile 2026 |

Panasonic Lumix S Pro 50mm f/1.4 Pros: Build quality, image quality, bokeh, brightness. One of the best optics in the category around. Cons: It is not small, it is not light and it is not cheap, but for the quality it offers it is worth all the sacrifices it entails. Not recommended for video wedding artists. Opinion: Superlative optics, which does not accept compromises. Challenging but necessary for the professional or for the demanding amateur. Since I took it, it is impossible for me to part with it. I use it on both Lumix S1 and S5, with an amazing yield that has nothing comparable to that generated by the 24-105 f/4 Macro OIS, also by Panasonic, set on the same focal length. On the video front, however, despite the excellent quality of the images, it weighs its bulk that strongly limits the range of use. Precisely for this reason, I consider it not recommended for ceremonialists and event videomakers, unless you use it on a second camera body. sent on 11 Marzo 2022 |
