Camera companies wont like me for saying it, but in my experience, choosing any camera to shoot adventure and expeditions means accepting compromise somewhere. Thats not to say you are necessarily compromising on image quality, but the physical nature o...

The Panasonic Lumix G9 doesn't only step up what mirrorless cameras can do - surpassing even the Fujifilm X-T2 in many areas - it successfully places itself in among the DSLR elite. It's a very impressive bit of kit indeed.However, having already describe...
