This camera has it. My opinion is as a videographer, i've used Sony, Canon, Lumix, Black Magic, and REDs on different productions for almost 15 years. So this is mainly from that view.
Lumix has always had the best IBIS, it doesn't warp weird and doesn't track subjects like every other camera brand i've used. It has a natural way of making sure micro jitters are gone, there's still some movement not too much.
VLOG is such an amazing LOG format. Detail is so solid in the shadows so it feels so natural to me. The highlight rolloff isn't my favorite, but it's easily fixed in post.
They have nailed autofocus in their latest lineup. it's reliable and fast, and i had no problem tracking my kids running around like lunatics.
We all used to shy away from Lumix color in video production because it had a weird push in the yellows in the shadows that tended to give people a slight jaundice look. BUT it's gone! praises. Colors are beautiful, i pit it against Canon colors for video and prefer this little camera now.
10 bit 422, c4k when you want it, small with terrific battery life, i don't really use the 6k open gate but good to know it's there.
The LUTs are fun, makes shooting a bit more fun because you can load a preview look but still record VLOG if you want then put that same LUT on in your NLE.
People need to chill out about the lack of a viewfinder. They are making a bigger deal then they should It always has looked professional to shoot photos with the viewfinder, but times are changing.
I use this camera to capture b-roll content from events, B camera to a RED Komodo X for run n gun, family camera for home movies, and webcam for Zoom

One of my favorite hybrid travel cameras out there. What an awesome companion for both photo and video content. As a content creator, this is a powerhouse. No need to pack a gimbal, the stabilization is insane. Colorgrading in post? Nahh. The in camera LUTS makes it a breeze for editing.

This really is a great camera. As a content creator, my goal is to achieve high quality content on the go. This camera is perfect for just that. Excellent in both videography and photography. It’s also super easy to download images straight to your phone. The LUT button is super useful! I’ve downloaded some LUTS from their app.

Amazing Camera!

Here’s a more casual, personal review:
I’ve been using the Lumix S9 for a while now, and honestly, I’m blown away. It’s everything I could ask for in a camera and more.
First off, the image quality is insane. The colors are so natural, and the details it captures are just stunning. Whether I’m taking portraits, landscapes, or just quick shots on the go, everything looks so crisp and vibrant.
The video quality is next level too. Shooting in 6K feels like such a luxury, and the footage is super smooth, even when I’m walking around filming. I also love how easy it is to adjust the settings to get that cinematic vibe.
Using the camera itself is a dream. It feels great in my hands, the controls are simple, and the touchscreen makes it really easy to navigate. Plus, the screen flips out, so it’s perfect for vlogging or getting creative angles.
The battery lasts longer than I expected, and the built-in Wi-Fi makes transferring files super quick—no more dealing with messy cables.
Overall, I’m so happy with the Lumix S9. Whether you’re into photography, videography, or both, it’s such a solid camera. I’m excited to keep exploring what it can do!

This camera checks off every want or need I’ve been looking for in a camera for content creation. Light weight? Check. Small foot print? Check. Quality filming formats? Check! Couldn’t ask for a better sidekick for this journey!

Incredible tool for content creators!

The LUMIX S9 is an incredible tool for content creators like me. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry! LUTs directly in-camera is saves me so much time in post-production and ensures my content looks polished from the start. The fast Wi-Fi transfer feature is a lifesaver, letting me quickly move photos and videos to my phone for instant sharing. The camera also performs exceptionally well in low light, producing stunning results for both photos and unlimited high-resolution videos.
