Pros:The PROS of the Lumix S5II, plus LUT management and the features of the new Lumix Lab App
Cons:The fact that it does not have an additional viewfinder and ring, but not being a camera designed for the photographer, therefore has its reason.
Opinion:I would have preferred a smaller camera in m4/3, with viewfinder and additional ring, instead of this S9 FF. That said, the S9, as repeated by many parties, is not designed for the photography purist who puts his eye in the viewfinder. It is having a good success for the lens they had aimed at. The innovative app with LUT management makes your work easier and often avoids switching to the post. For the content creator, this S9 is a boon. Although it takes excellent photographs, it is not recommended for those like me, of old age, who like to use the viewfinder often and willingly. Furthermore, the legend that the LCD goes into crisis in bright light makes me think that Panasonic displays are not known, whatever, for now, they are the best in the photographic and video field. Certainly it cannot be considered a compact, but it must also be said that probably between Lumix and Leica there is an agreement not to step on each other's toes.
Pros:color fidelity, photo quality, video quality (many settings), MAF speed, articulated display and quality (visibility), beautiful LUT function (innovation, convenient management via App), immediate content sharing, lots of technology in a small camera body, low weight.
Cons:lack of a third ring, probably lack of viewfinder (but for its purpose it is not a con at all).
Opinion:had the opportunity to test it for a few days. It's absurd how people misjudge this mirrorless without having bought it or maybe tried it. It is trivial to expect from this camera, at this budget, many more rings and viewfinder. the S9 was born for a very specific purpose. the LUT function and the new dedicated app are amazing. ok, they could have inserted an extra dial, but otherwise I don't share these criticisms just for the sake of attacking. I think that having a Lumix S5II with the S9 combined is one of the best choices. the S9 is nothing more than the S5II with a reduced shape, without sacrificing so much technology. With a small budget you can have a lot of quality and too much technology. if they had inserted many more controls, additional dial, viewfinder, etc. certainly the price would have reached 3000 euros (Sony RX1R II style, but with interchangeable lenses). at this price it is a deliberately different machine from the crowd, suitable for those who want to have the Pro points listed in a small (light) camera body. Lumix provides everyone with a small and modern Full Frame mirrorless camera with crazy photo and video quality, without making a large investment. A good choice! Very nice to be able to choose between 4 colors of the camera body. overall score 8 (with a third ring it would have deserved 9). soon they will offer the mark II with more options and obviously at a higher price (there will then be those who will complain about the price increase). The professional who has special needs will choose something else, investing much higher amounts. Not all of us have the same needs or the same budget!
Opinion:I don't have it. A FF camera without a viewfinder and with an impressive scarcity of controls is suicide. They could have made a GX9 FF, perhaps with an articulated screen. I can't pinpoint the possible customer for this machine. Often with the display, in bright light, it is framed haphazardly and then you have to trim in PP and goodbye to the full format. A wealth of G9-type commands would have been desirable, without necessarily having to go through the menu. Will sales prove me wrong? At the moment, no.
