The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on March 29, 2023 Pros: All or almost. Cons: Iso 200 minimum, choice of focus point. Opinion: Aesthetically beautiful. Light. Improved grip compared to the GX80. Adjustable viewfinder. Good ISO seal, improved compared to the GX80. Varied and customizable menu. Wide choice of optics. Very good recovery of shadows, sometimes burns the lights if you are not careful to expose. Good battery life, I often came to make 350 shots without running out. Cons: ISO 200 minimum. Choice of maf point a bit complicated because you have to enter the menu, maybe there is another system that I have not yet discovered. |
  | sent on February 17, 2023 Pros: It does exactly what it was built to do Cons: I would have preferred the flip-up screen so as to keep it closed. Quisquilie. Opinion: I don't find any fault with this machine. Neither does the battery life, which is similar to other machines of the same size. If you wanted a large trunk, it would be better to buy a station wagon and not a city car and then complain. A couple of batteries in your pocket shouldn't deter anyone. I also have a G9 which I guess has superior functions. I wrote because I never took advantage of them. The greatest convenience of the G9 lies in the many controls that avoid going through the menu. And I've also found that most of the time, when I go out without a specific purpose, it's the G9 that stays at home. The gx9 with the summilux 25 and the zuiko 45/1.8 fits in a fanny pack. With the lumix 20 it would look even better. But I mistook it for summilux, a suggestion of the name. Someone complains about the "grip". The same goes for the battery. There are low-priced metal handles, but they increase the size of the machine. Update: I bought back the 20/1.7 but also kept the Summilux 25. I know, my equipment is disproportionate compared to the number of photos taken. Sometimes I rode around with the 20mm and the 45mm Zuiko. All very comfortable. Perhaps, if I find an opportunity, I will exchange the 45 for the Panasonic counterpart. Perhaps, because there is no real reason. A medium-telephoto that mounts 37mm filters.... |
  | sent on February 21, 2022 Pros: File quality, autofocus, white balance, dynamic range, crazy details even with kit lenses. Cons: Grip Opinion: Remarkable step forward respects the gx 80 especially in the micro details where the gx9 is exceptional, while the gx80 tended to knead a lot. Perfect Jpegs, like the raw that are very workable, excellent for shadow recovery slightly less for highlights .. The digital noise is what is expected from a micro 4/3 cmq much less than the Olympus sisters, it is very well worked in post production! Paired with the 12-60 panaleica and superb the quality of the files are amazing. The colors are bright and well balanced even if the color range should be improved to return even more fidelity: I love to photograph the sea but I realized that with Olympus I captured many more shades and shades while the gx9 remains a little flat. Street and portrait are the most suitable genres x this type of car and gives you a lot of fun .. You rediscover the taste of photographing! Seeing is believing! |
 | sent on October 03, 2021 Pros: read the comment Cons: read the comment Opinion: I also express my opinion on this camera the GX9 in kit (DC-GX9M). Immediately I was struck by his vertical moving viewfinder very useful in certain shots. The construction is good or equal to the commercial value proposed for sale. The advantage that I notice is the internal software of the GX9, excellent with a good reading of metric exposures and an excellent final file. Also excellent is the balance of the color that Panasonic uses for this small monster of technology. As I said, jpeg files are of excellent workmanship and immediately ready to use, like the raw also excellent. In my opinion this little monster is a crossroads for those who want to cement themselves to thick photography, that is, the one with a capital "F" and therefore suitable for both the neophyte and the more experienced, for those who have a higher knowledge of photography with this camera is able to express themselves to the best of their ideas. An excellent all-rounder of value. I spend a word on the stabilization of the sensor in combination with the lens, the combination is very effective, The noise is well managed (although for me who evaluates these pipes is only a self-injurier) by the internal software of the machine. On a scale from 1 to 10 my grade is an 8, I think I was quite clear in my opinion, but I will summarize briefly what he transmitted to me. Excellent color balance, excellent final file (ready to use), excellent black and white (with the management of shadows and lights there is fun to be had), excellent construction and materials, excellent optics kit the 12 60 3.5 5.6 sharp at the right point perhaps even higher than certain optics of more famous brands (always in kit version). I highly recommend it to everyone. p.s. I have not evaluated the video sector, because I do not use. I have very little to tell about negative opinions, because I don't need technical needs, the hair in the egg I didn't find it. I leave room for the most experienced professionals (mental masturbators).. Thank you all. |
 | sent on March 25, 2021 Pros: An incredible machine, trying to believe, light, small, produces great and ready-to-use Jpg files. Cons: Maybe the 0cular, but in this machine you can not use it. Battery life. Opinion: As mentioned above, try to believe, especially for use in street photos or reportage. I have two Nikon Z6ii mirrorless and Z7 mirrorless with great Z Mount lenses, and I'm more than satisfied with this equipment, but I was looking for a compact camera for street photo and decided for this GX9 with 12-60 lens, replacing a now dated Panasonic Lx100. At first glance I was impressed and puzzled by the size of both the camera and the 0bbietttivo. An in-depth sprint the menu and the operation that on the generals reflects all the panasonic, I switched to use for what interests me, the street. Holding the machine in my hand, with the display open, setting the focus and the shot from the same, I took photos that was previously unthinkable, no one, even 1 meter away noticed that I was photographing, and setting the AI+ mode, times, diaphragms and iso are decided by the same, making photos all and fire, sharp, with a fast and precise shot, enhancing its 20 mpx sensor without low pass filter. Really satisfied, so much so that I decided to expand the range of objectives with a wide angle and a longer canvas, maybe a 45-175.In fact, the micro 4/3 park offers excellent objectives at a really good price especially in the used. Concluding those looking for a car for the street and reportage with this is safe. |
 | sent on August 22, 2020 Pros: Light, compact, solid, practical, price of another product range, dynamic black and white, excellent autofocus Cons: Sometimes little "hospitable" sights... Opinion: I start with a very narrow consideration, that is worth every euro required for its purchase, perhaps more. Used cold, without time to know her to set me to set her the day after arrival, without the possibility of appeal, only JPEG by machine and never betrayed me using it in manual, the mistakes were mine. After setting up the car with the real-time preview as for my A77 everything became very familiar to me, but even before it was just a matter of getting back to using the display well, and even there the highlighted range for times/diaphragms helps you, making the exposure to a jerk-proof. Precise and rapid focus even without an illuminator even in indecent light conditions (the cards in the game were difficult to read, but she worked without particular hesitation, even with a zoom and not with a bright fixed). The position of the hand is very different from that of a mid-range reflex, much less comfortable, but the counterbalance for better ergonomics is a significantly higher weight! In my case the GX9 with 12-60 weighs less than the body of my SLT, so it followed me all day without ever leaving me, the reflex would stay at home to safeguard the neck... I was on vacation, not at work, if bringing the car is a boredom, where ends the pleasure of the hobby? The battery drains at a rapid pace, but she survived a morning in Pompeii under concentant sun, re-embroidered with powerbank at lunch, used on a trip to Vesuvius again under the scorching sun, then in the evening to photograph the stars with 60' exposures... I think you can say he does his dirty work! The only sore note is the viewfinder not always up to the rest of the machine, especially if a little light penetrates the eye, the vision is faded and tarnished. As for responsiveness if you don't put the preview in real time, it's spectacular, as it is for the whole machine in general! The diplay is really great, the touch makes it almost too easy to choose the focus point, I would say it causes very strong addiction! The sound of the shot is pleasant, you hear the mechanical shutter snapping with a light and dull tap, it is nice to hear the "physical" response to the pressure. The sensor works egregiously even in low lights, as long as it exposes correctly, but it does a job comparable to my APSC of a few years, but with dim zoom, I want to try to see what can give me with a 15mm leica mounted! Don't forget the dynamic black and white... Beautiful... the photos come out of the car and ask to be printed and I swear it was time that it didn't happen to me! The COLOR rendering of JPEG is also beautiful, the files are rich in detail, almost sharp and with a zoom. I don't think I can ask for more, then I print in A4, I don't look at the photos on 100% monitors, that I leave to the pixel fetishists. I don't think I'd recommend it for videos, but for those who only take photos I would say that it is the machine to go back to having fun lightly, without giving up anything in particular, except to be seen with 1000 or 2000 euros with pitiful zoomed and used cars (I have seen too many of these crap in a week of vacation). It will remain by your side, with a couple of compact zooms you can cover an absurd range, if you love the fixtures then I think it is absolute perfection. It will make you regret only the time you have not spent with her before (for the sights to me personally does not bother me too much, I just need to compose, focus is still easy, it does not seem even fair to ask for more for its price range, we are talking about a price lower than the entry level reflex, but with an overall quality well beyond that price range! If the viewfinder will make it more beautiful in its evolution... it will mean that I will take a sister from her) |
 | sent on March 17, 2020 Pros: Compact machine lightweight sensor of excellent quality idela for photography travel system autofocus excellent and versatile ability to work the raw in the car Cons: The battery does not guarantee enough range you have to buy other batteries lack valid program to work raw files Opinion: I took this machine body to use in travel and for general use. The machine body is very light and compact. I associated this machine body with the olympus optics. The file quality is great. I found the Raw management programmes offered by panasonc to be lacking, in my opinion not only satisfactory. The plug in to view with windows raw files gave me a compatibility error with wiindows 10 so I gave up on intallarlo. processing the Raw file with Raw camera I noticed an increase in the grain of the image compared to the file processed by the same machine. considering the use that I make of raw files with the same machine without making use of the PC. I find this function very convenient but still with many shortcomings. The Gx9 does not allow you to use this feature when connecting an HDMI monitor, it would have been much more comfortable to use an external monitor during this mode. Another flaws the inability to enlarge the image when working a Raw file in the machine. With a small screen they had to provide the ability to enlarge a detail during processing. Battery life is not enough for a daily photo output, so you have to expect to buy some other battery as well. I noticed, however, that the battery when it passes 50% of the charge then suddenly gives way turning off the machine so it is difficult to calculate how much time is left. consider also that the sight of the machine was made in my opinion only to insert it into the characteristics of the machine but it is as if it were not there. Too small and of poor quality. I always use it with the back screen. on the back screen I have to note that under the sun the screen is not very bright is does not have a brightness option suitable to photograph under sunlight function provided in the dsony A7r3 and A7r4 I think even of different price ranges could opt not to Put a useless viewfinder and provide the car instead of a usable rear screen comfortably even in the sunlight. overall anyway for in relation to the sale price is an exceptional machine I took it with the offer which provided a discount of 200 euros and the panasonic 50 lens as a gift so I would say it's a bargain considering the image quality is excellent and 20 mega pixels all in all are enough. The machine is fun to use, allows you to exit without a camera bag putting camera and lenses in the pockets of the jacket. I found excessive criticism on the noise and graininess of the produced file |
 | sent on May 15, 2019 Pros: Sensor quality and compactness. Stabilization Cons: Not very ergonomic. Screen not completely articulated Opinion: The merits of this that we think is one of the best Panasonic mirrorless for street photography are:-Very compact dimensions-very comfortable tiltable viewfinder-5 axis optical stabilization: it is a mirrorless stabilized very well! -The 20 Megapixel sensor without a pass-through filter-3 monochrome profiles dedicated to street photography-advanced 4k functionality with post focus and focus stacking options for greater depth of field of images among the main defects of Panasonic GX9 instead there is a lack of tropicalization that can be very useful when shooting in situations of rain or dust. And the monitor is not completely articulated. I made a video review here: https://youtu.be/95lJ1dySvCQ |
 | sent on March 25, 2019 Pros: Image Quality Also in JPEG, size and portability, fast and accurate AF, customization, connectivity Cons: Little pronounced Grip, GPS not present.... Others I have not found. Opinion: I bought it for just under a week, so this does not want to be a real review, but simply a story about the very first impressions. Camera aesthetically very pleasing and the size that make it suitable to be carried always with you. I took the Kit version with the Panasonic 12-60 F 3.5/5.6, then an "all around" optics with which you can do just about anything! From the very first impressions I noticed a quality of JPEG really very high, you also want for the absence of the Low Pass filter that increases the final sharpness. The color rendition is very good (I use the standard profile), and it is customizable throughout. The Focus system is always ready and fast, even when the light starts to drop. Excellent control arrangement, with two ring nuts that help a little in using the camera. The Display Personally I find it definitely good, even in very strong light conditions, and with a touch screen always ready and responsive and through which you can do really everything. The rear monitor is not completely tipper, but for me it is not a defect, but I recognize that for others it could be. I read about negative opinions on the viewfinder, honestly I find it honest and reliable, but each has its own yardstick. Definitely improve the grip... The camera is an "almost flat brick", so the handle is not the safest ever, but not to be disdain... It also depends on the size of your hands. You can remedy the problem by using the additional handle that definitely gives a better grip, but at the same time precludes the quick access to the battery compartment... Then when you download it will be necessary to disassemble the accessory to replace the accumulator. Customization to the top, the menu is so extensive that you can "sew" the camera on. The 20Mpx sensor is more than enough on all occasions, allowing even "hazardous" crop. I got to try it at best at 6400iso with good results, not striking of course, but in my opinion still usable. The Optics in kit, for the fact the 12-60 I think a little gem.... Little light, crisp, handyman... In short, a starting lens with which you can face any kind of photography... Travel/street/reportage without any kind of problem. I am also waiting for the 7-14 to complete this new M43 kit. There are also a flood of filters and additional large to achieve very pleasing effects, in short... There's almost nothing missing. There is No built-in GPS, but I suppose the photos can be geotaggated by the comfortable application for smartphones ImageAPP, which also uses low-power BlueThooth. I Would say therefore a good travel companion that will surely give you images of excellent quality at any junente. |
user170782  | sent on January 22, 2019 Pros: Operating speed, size, file quality up to 6400 ISO, many customizations. Cons: It lacks tropicalization for those who need it Opinion: The use for photos of every day for about three months, behaves well in dynamic situations and at night with the long exposures, suffers only a little ' LED lights. I had the GX8 and as simplicity and operational speed we are there. The GX8 fits better in hand but it is bigger. Use with Panaleica 15 1.7, Panasonic 25 1.7 w Sigma 60 2.8 (which I'll sell because it's too sharp) and for everyday photos is one of the best choices you can make. Outside of work, so I use other and far more expensive bodies, I have had various mid-range machines (Sony A6000, Fuji X-T1, Pentax K-50, Panasonic GX8 and Olympus e-M1 and E-M10 III) and this is undoubtedly the best for ease of use and quality of image. To date is found only body around 500 euros, for 95% of amateurs enough and advances. For the viewfinder I find it very useful the additional eye Cup that offers a comfortable accommodation for the eye. |
 | sent on January 13, 2019 Pros: Well-made construction, viewfinder and display quality, quantity of commands that can be set Cons: Viewfinder size, little pronounced grip Opinion: Taken for "Sfizio", having a Em1 I immediately put it at rest in the drawer. Now that I've sold the former Olympus flagship, I'm rediscovering this captivating Gx9. I'm struggling to set all the parameters to my liking (there are so many and remember them is difficult). I really appreciate the definition of the viewfinder (albeit a tiny bit) and the monitor that I think are better than the EM1. A small aluminum ingot, returns a good sense of quality. I would have appreciated the buttons had been more in relief than at the same level of the camera body but I think it is just a matter of habit. Reactive the touch Monitor. Like so many mirrorless, it has several customizable function buttons at will and the top slider has the "C" position settable on 3 configurations. I would have undoubtedly preferred a more comfortable viewfinder since I wear glasses and a grip for the hand more pronounced and safe since the current one, gives me little security; I'm thinking of providing it with additional grip. On photographic qualities still have not tested for good, using a em1 of 2013 for sure steps forward there were a bit on all fronts. I'm using it with a Panasonic 14-45 but, it dances in my head to pair it with a more qualitative lens like a 12-35 f/2.8 or a small fixed as the 25mm f/1.7... I'll try to put the monkeys at bay and, the test of 9 will be done with a beautiful print to show in the salon. |
 | sent on January 12, 2019 Pros: Auto Focus, stabilization, ISO seal, dynamic range, burst speed. Cons: Cozy little viewfinder for the eye, no microphone input Opinion: She was underestimated by the critics, believing her the heir to the GX8, also blamed for an exaggerated launch price. In fact it is an upgrade of the GX80, and with the current price, revised and corrected to the downside, rightly adapts to the best competition in relation to the quality. High quality, for a street car that wants a fixed bright, like the 15mm F 1.7. I mount the 17mm 1.8 Zuiko, which makes his figure. A little anonymous aesthetics, is not very small, but it is in a purse and always comes out with me, managing not to betray the true nature of micro 4/3 as, instead, often happens to high-end sisters. Excellent also in the video, which comes up to 4k, where the absence of a socket for external microphone is as pleasing as the sound of the nails on the blackboard. The autofocus, for me that I come from an Olympus WCO M10 first Way (How beautiful it was!), is lightning-fast even with little light, and not bad even in tracking. Unpleasant the absence of a charger supplied, you will repress with a few euros buying battery plus charger (there is also cigarette lighter connection) Patona. Promoted! |
 | sent on November 30, 2018 Pros: Excellent sharpness even in the finer details, very fast in single focus even with very little light and not very bright optics (pana 100-400), better dynamic range than the previous sensor. Cons: Small viewfinder (especially for those who like me use glasses) and mediocre quality. The High Res is missing. Opinion: With the G7 and the Panasonic GH4 pointed too much on the 4k video, but in the single photos The sensor and the processor were a step below the competition. With the latter processor and 20 MP sensor, Panasonic has finally accomplished not one but two steps forward reporting to the level of competition. The most minute details are very well defined and not confused as with the previous sensor. The dynamic range is improved and the focus is rapid and precise even with little light (the Achilles heel of the OLY EM5 II and that convinced me in the purchase of this machine) and allows to work very well with the Pana 100-400 at the maximum focal even at dawn in Cloudy and dark days. The GX9 never has any problem in the evening during my photos of the reflections, always fast and without hesitation the focus, while with the EM5 II I often find myself making more attempts to have the correct focus. The continuous focus with the smaller animals is still not up to the best reflex, but with the people on the move, setting the focus on the faces, is quick and accurate. A feature of which we talk little but that in Panasonic is great is the automatic white balance that always manages to reduce or completely eliminate the dominant color even by shooting with only artificial lights, the white is always perfect obviously with Correct exposure. A machine that can be used for almost all the photographic genres, with an excellent value for money. |
 | sent on October 17, 2018 Pros: compactness, silent shooting even in mechanical mode, ergonomics, tilting screen, affordable price, traditional line Cons: Less physical keys than other sisters of the brand, synchro to 1/200, touch screen sensitive to accidental shifts framing the viewfinder Opinion: Purchased taking advantage of the discounts of these days at an affordable price. With the GX9 I believe that Panasonic make a little ' order to the production line of the GX, unifying the line 8 and 80 in one and then resuming the wire traced with the 7. Improves compared to 80; Compared to 8 it reduces the size while still offering similar performance. The elimination of the low pass filter improves the crispness of the image and helps to reduce the noise because the most obtainable sharpness is not pushed to the maximum. I recommend to minimize noise reduction, preferring a minimum of noise to the loss of detail that the filter inevitably introduces. Usable however even at 3200 ISO or more, especially in RAW. The new 20 MPX sensor is very well-behaved, with a noticeable improvement also on the dynamic range. Compact, light, with the same batteries as other household models (e.g. LX100, Gf5...), is always to be taken with you, especially combined with fixed and compact lenses like the 14/2.5. Excellent street car, which does not give in the eye, with a good speed AF and discretion to click. Video at the top, as Panasoinc has accustomed, with several controls, while not being video tip Model X. Recommended from every point of view |
 | sent on September 15, 2018 Pros: Great camera, fast enough, good IQ and full of features and customizations Cons: Too similar to the GX80 that costs half... Opinion: I waited a bit as it is right for this assessment and then I decided, the GX9 is ultimately a great car but with mediocre features. Let me explain, has so many things less than G9, including much less performing stabilization, previous generation autofocus and various features only 4k and not 6k as the flagship, but in the end if we look at the market, for the sensor that mounts offers so much and the substance There is. The only flaw that remains is the GX80 at a price too good and with many of the functions of the GX9. |
