Those extra megapixel are worth it!

All the specs I need!, I sold my lumix S5iix for this camera, there is nothing wrong with the S5iix but I need this extra megapixel for cropping.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beautiful Camera, Lots of Features, Two Issues
on April 19, 2025
Posted by: Brian
Gender:Male
I am a professional architecture and interiors photographer and was looking for something different. The Lumix S Series of cameras are what I was looking for. Something small, lightweight, and that can deliver quality color and depth rendering. I switched from Canon and so far have been overall pleased with the transition.
I received this camera three days after release and have been becoming familiar with the new features since then. I am very happy with it so far. Focus is quick and accurate. Colors are amazing. Features on top of features. Menu setup is getting easier to understand and remembering where functions and setting are located.
I have noticed, along with some other people, that it could use a firmware update already. The curtain doesn't always close when you power off the camera (and yes I have the settings right), and in just the last 24 hours the camera froze while reviewing images I had just taken. As most of us would try, I went to shut off the camera and it wouldn't turn off-twice (I had to eject the battery both times to get the camera to turn off (currently have a ticket open for that issue)). While it's not a huge issue right not, I can't have this become something bigger later on in my shooting season.
Other than those two things I think I'll be very happy with this setup, I have it paired with the Lumix S5M2x-which is another beautiful camera in and of itself. And the two of them together are knocking it out of the park so far. The additional fact that I can get Leica and Sigma lenses and add Leica bodies to my bag is always an exciting benefit for me later on down the line.
Would love to give it five stars, but we have to fix the little things. I can work with Lumix if they want, and help any way I can.

Shutter does not close when shut off, if in silent mode. It should not matter
When connected to USB-C, only charges the battery in the camera but not in the battery grip; S1R charged both.
When writing to both cards at once, shows the message that both memory cards must be the same capacity, yet, still writes to both anyway.
No option "Battery Use Priority", to determine which battery is used first, camera or battery grip. S1R and G9II both have this option.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Planning to migrate from Nikon.
1. Woud like to see negative digitizing feature like D850 in the next firmware version.
2. High capacity battery
3. High buffer capacity
4. 3 dimensional level guage in view finder
5. On board memory + One CF-B card rather than two card slots
6. Inbuilt GPS
7. Don't waste time and money on lenses, let Sigma do it. You focus on camera development.
