Pros:Stabilization, size, many dials and buttons that make a lot of camera, RAW beautiful to work with
Cons:Tropicalization, autofocus not always precise, dynamic range that does not drive you crazy
Opinion:Excellent value for money, to start photographing it is the ideal camera, now it is found at affordable prices and if you combine a fine lens you can bring out really beautiful photos. Personally I find it absurd that in a camera like this there is no tropicalization ... unforgivable... batteries get more than one they don't last very long ... what can I say excellent to start and to take a few years with you.
Opinion:I bought the second-hand Lumix gx9 with the 14mm and I'm thrilled. Small, well-built and above all versatile with many creative possibilities. Photography is creation and even what may be technical limitations can be exploited in creative terms. Personally I think the little Lumix is fully satisfactory and churns out b/w files that are a pearl and then for 400 € what more do you want? Rated 10
Pros:Size and weight, tiltable screen, availability of physical controls, excellent ergonomics with the smallest lenses, wide availability of small and quality optics, very simple menu, a couple of excellent JPEG B/W profiles
Cons:Absence tropicalization, poor viewfinder, IBIS not excellent, awkward with larger lenses, insufficient dynamic range in high-contrast scenes.
Pros:A small mirrorless unique and with a good sensor
Cons:Metal rings that tend to lock, weak viewfinder, poor batteries
Opinion:I updated the GX7 for the GX9 improving a lot on the side of the sensor that offers a more convincing tonal yield and a better latitude of pose. The use associated with the PanaLeica Summilux 15 and Nocticron 42.5 that both have the aperture adjustment ring, this with the folding viewfinder that allows me to evaluate the framing from above, is a set that gives me great feeling for a way of photographing that takes you back in time. I find the image rendering fantastic, thanks to the lenses but also to the sensor that goes very well with the two jewels. There are limits with which you have to live, scarce batteries, you must always have a couple of spare, it's not bad; the viewfinder that for a mole like me would be a dream to have more powerful, I added a rubber eyepiece that helps if you have glasses; the rings are the most serious problem, at least on the Silver versions, they tend to become very hard losing usability, especially the concentric one to the mode ring, but I use the old-style diaphragm ring on the lens and I configured the machine as it was on the GX7 to do everything with the rear plastic bezel, which works well. In short, there are some problems but the whole remains unique and it is a shame that Panasonic has interrupted the development of the GX line. For amateurs and for a minimalist kit.
Cons:Little ergonomics, ridiculous battery life, bad app, cumbersome menu, firmware update stopped several years ago.
Opinion:I was persuaded to take this machine because I was looking for something more "portable" than the Z6_II or that brick of the Sigma Sd Quattro. In fact, the Gx9 is portable, compact and light and so are its optics. And here the merits end, especially if you come from decades of film and digital FF or with the infamous Foveon inside. It is small yes, but also not very manageable, with your fingers you end up mixing between the controls, if you come from larger camera bodies you have to take into account a period of adaptation. I took it with Panaleica 12-60 which seems to me a good lens even if the autofocus, not infrequently, is uncertain. The battery lasts so little that I will not complain more than that of the Sigma, with ordinary use, in a quiet outing you do not get half a day. Having two is the minimum necessary. The app is really bad, unstable, it only works if there is a Wi-Fi otherwise it is an absolute disaster, the firmware is stopped years ago and some updates would not hurt, just to say, the LCD viewfinder passage leaves a lot to be desired. Finally the files, I had read wonders, fantastic files, spectacular ... It will be that I come from other standards but to me they seem normal, nothing more. In summary, for me a disappointment, but I guess it depends on what you are used to. Update, after a few months I still can not understand the sense of this machine, really better invest in an iPhone, does the same and at least the battery lasts 1 full day.
