I give them (Lumix) the win too, but I still keep my OM-1 and OM-5. For my use, as photographer mostly, and video for SOME lot less. We have the Sony 7R3 but I still use my OM-1 mostly, and sometimes the OM-5. Not the Sony, or our Nikons. Why, because I love the handling of Olympus and the lenses. If OM System don't come up with better video within two years, I probably switch to Panasonic though.

¿QUÉ TIENE? La nueva Panasonic Lumix G9 II sorprende con el nuevo sistema de AF híbrido por detección de fase y contraste que ya estrenó la S5 y que ahora llega al sistema micro 4/3. Así pues la G9 se convierte en una cámara de fotos súper rápìda y con interesantes guiños a la fotografía.

Unite il tutto ad un sistema compatto e leggero (dato dalle OTTICHE ovviamente, non dal corpo macchina, che comunque resta abbastanza leggero e con un grip eccellente, a differenza della 6700), ad un IBIS interno per foto e video veramente efficace e a caratteristiche video da prima della classe, capirete che per tanti potrebbe essere una scelta ottima, anche se non è FF e ha il sensore "piccolo"!

Glad I made this purchase before Trump imposes a tariff on camera gear.I couldn’t resist the purchase price. I bought the camera for less than it is selling for used. I did buy the ND filter in addition to two class II memory cards. I own the G9 and love it. The G9ii has so many video features I will never use as I only do photography. I bought the camera for the PDAF. It doesn’t disappoint.

Naturally, the G9II (with its much-improved AF) is on my wishlist, along with the highly underrated OM5 from OM systems (420 grams). The latter camera is a hybrid marvel when it comes to both photo and video (4K and 120 FPS HD) in a small and lightweight body. Try capturing a handheld video with panning using a Sony (e.g., the zv1 or the a7c); it's quite challenging.

For me, the G9II is the camera I've been waiting for. Especially because of the improved autofocus. I will keep my GH5 and GH6 and complement them with the G9II. I have some very good MFT lenses. Therefore, switching to 35mm format is out of the question for me. I can cope with the two stops of noise with excellent AI denoising techniques in Lightroom and Pureraw.

The G9II is a great camera but as with any system there are strengths and weaknesses. It is also quite a technical camera, the menus are complex and learning to get the most out of it can take a bit of time. Personally I’d recommend it if the price is right, but full-frame cameras are really in vogue right now, especially if the photographer is chasing that look.

But, after seeing several video samples of the Panasonic G9ii, I would have no problem adding the G9ii to my gear. I started out on the GH5. And I've always thought Panasonic captured the best skin tones compared to most camera brands. It's that ability to capture great skin tones along with the other great features of the G9ii that keeps me looking at it.

The G9II is just a very refined G9. No doubt about it. The G9 was, and remains, a great camera but the G9II is a better camera all round. The G9 would be a bargain because after a long popular season the street price became a bargain. Therefore the G9II was always going to be regarded as 'expensive' because the latest tech does not come cheap.

This is insane. Panasonic G9 II with the Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro lens. Thought I would get some epic slow mo macro life. Can do beautiful 4k 120 fps, or FHD 300 fps. But there is a secret mode that allows for nearly 4:1 macro. The pixel to pixel mode in 1080p 120 fps. Coupled with a macro lens and you can see bee's thoughts. Micro four thirds destroys full frame for macro.

The G9ii (as well as the S5iix) have made me look at Panasonic, again. While I am now shooting with the Sony FX30, I've always liked the skin tones out of Panasonic cameras most. Add the fact that the G9ii can record to an external SSD is huge - for me. Plus, with very reliable PDAF, the G9ii is looking pretty tasty.

I definitely think the double dial on the G9 was a genious idea so it liberates the right shoulder making it available for the top screen. This is a big loss and downgrade to me: one feature less but with no gain in terms of compacity or ergonomics. I can't see any benefit of having separated dials.

This improved version is equipped with a 25.2-megapixel imaging sensor capable of shooting incredible 5.7K 60fps footage in 10-bit 4:2:2. It can also shoot in a relatively uncommon 4K 4:2:0 up to 120fps.
