Abstract: Panasonic wants its new Lumix G9 to be the GH5 for still shooters; a small, light, fast and flexible alternative to traditionally bigger cameras for outdoor and action photography.In reality, it's a direct competitor for the Olympus E-M1 Mark II and an in...
Excellent spec sheet, Superb value for money, Brilliant viewfinder,
Some may expect more than 20MP, Some Android users may want NFC, Large body (for a MFT camera),
The G9 is a flagship camera for good reason. Although many of its new features have previously surfaced elsewhere, it's the fact that the company has managed to combine them all into one very reasonably priced model that makes it so appealing...
If Panasonic feels that it hasn't quite been getting through to enthusiast-level shooters in the same way Olympus has – and specifically those still wedded to their D-SLRs – the Lumix G9 is the camera to do it. On the outside it's the most traditionally-s...

Serious about still photos, but still keen on a bit of UltraHD videography as well? Then check out the Panasonic Lumix DC-G9LEICA. You'll be well rewarded...
Night mode, Shoulder-mounted information display, 6.5-stop stablization, 0.04-second autofocus, Weather-sealed design
Videographic capabilities not as robust as GH5
The Lumix G9 doesn't hit the same highs as the a9 but, if you're scared by the price-tag of the latter, this is a more-than-serviceable alternative at a third of the price...
Overall, we consider the G9 the best camera Panasonic has made so far, particularly for enthusiast photographers who are mainly interested in shooting stills but also like to take high-resolution movies occasionally. It's also the best-equipped M4/3 camer...
Abstract: But where the GH5 has been designed primarily for shooting video, the G9 is mainly for stills. That's not to say users can't record movies with it; the G9 supports 4K recording at 3840 x 2160 pixels. But it lacks the professional video capabilities of the...

The G9 is the best Lumix camera to date and a cracking choice for wildlife or action photography.Naturally, there's a trade-off with that Micro Four Thirds sensor – as great as the G9's images are, they're not on a par with with a full-frame camera, parti...
autofocus rapide, rafale élevée, viseur électronique, écran orientable et tactile, stabilisation du capteur, vidéo
pas de flash intégré, pas de mode panoramique, déclencheur trop souple
Juste au dessous du GH5s, le Lumix G9 se veut plus orienté photo avec moins de réglages vidéo et propose en effet une ergonomie plus adaptée que celles des GX9 ou GX80. C'est dans les faits un appareil ultra réactif. Parfois même un peu trop...
