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
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great full frame camera in a compact size. Luts feature is excellent when combined with LUMIX Lab.

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

Love the LUT, but lack of EVF caused me to return the product.

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.

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.
