An absolute joy to use!

I am a retired professional photographer - the S9 is a thoroughly enjoyable and very capable camera to create with. I have used other brands in my career, but the colours, dynamic range and operating system in this camera is superb. The lens options are great - from current offerings to the options of vintage lenses. The LUT library is a fantastic addition; the SOOC jpgs are excellent, along with the Hi- Res photo option. Do I miss the lack of a viewfinder? No. We are all use to using our phones for taking photos, so this is an easy transition. The linking of your phone/pad for instant editing and sharing is well implemented and very reliable and useful. This camera is a real gem!

The camera is a good size and takes nice pictures. Quality is also very good. A little complicated to use due to the many functions. My main complaint is the lens options. They launched it before the 18-40mm was ready, which is a good match to the camera due to the compact size. I feel tricked by Panasonic.

I have done multiple reviews of the Three S9's that I own on YouTube. I have the Midnight Blue, Crimson Red and the Mint Green Colors. Also have the S5II & S5IIX. @randallbrander8157 just search for Panasonic or S9. Last review was with the Mint Green using the Lumix S 26mm f/8.

I had been using Fujifilm gear for many years, but decided to make the change after seeing the S9. This is an amazing camera and I could immediately see an improvement over Fuji especially when shooting at night. I really wasn't expecting much from the 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3 lens so I was blown away at the image quality from this lens. Excellent sharpness and beautiful color rendering. The S9's ibis allows shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds to compensate for the smaller aperture range on the lens. I really hope Panasonic will develop smaller primes at f/2 or 2.8 for the S9 as anything longer than 2 inches in length kinda defeats the purpose of the camera.
There are so many features packed in this camera that there is so much more to learn and explore. Highly Recommended

The camera itself is good but I desperately wished it had a hot shoe so that I could get an external viewfinder at the very least. An integrated viewfinder would’ve been ideal. The camera itself is good. The sensor in a camera of this size is amazing.
