Should I switch from Sony to Lumix? As a wedding photographer

I went from an A7 III to S5 II (then S9) and I'd say the A7 III was more reliable autofocus wise. The S5 II is very reliable for people and eye tracking but it needs a lot more hand holding in low light. I think the swap to Lumix makes more sense if you were branching out more into video (for the IB

S9 Purchased

Got this in a few days ago after using an S5II for a year now. I got it to replace my B-cam, which is a S5. I've gotten addicted to using LUTs and the Lumix Lab app so the S5 wasn't quite cutting it in terms of ease of use as I had to use the old Sync app to bring stuff over and manually apply LUTs.

S5D or S9 for photography (landscape/nature/woodland) only(not interested in video).

I've never used the S5d, but my s9 autofocus is able to keep up with everything(within reason) I've asked of it. I wasn't the biggest fan of the 18-40 kit lens, so mine usually wears the sigma 45mm 2.8 or lumix 85mm 1.8. The lack of evf and headphone jack is a pain sometimes, but you can work around

Which Lumix full-frame camera do you recommend for wedding photography?

As the one who converted from G9 myself, something like S5II will suit you just right and will improve autofocus because it now has PDAF instead of just DFD on G9. I did use S9 at first but really missed EVF, so took advantage of this Best Buy deal, that gets you S5II, 20-60 kit plus free 85mm f1.8

Q: What’s the single best thing AND the single worst thing about the LUMIX S9? Let’s get a discussion going…

There are many different types of wedding photographers. Documentary photographers are very popular in the UK these days and are often very discreet and won't interfere with the day at all. I carry a Domke F5xb bag (tiny!) and two S5IIs with a 35 and 85 prime. I'd say 70-80% of shots are completely

Beginner dad: What’s the best hybrid camera hybrid (S9 vs other options) for my situation?

I use my camera almost exclusively for family life. 10 bit video, reliable human tracking and good stabilization are the main things to look for in a hybrid dad cam. I wouldn’t recommend an OM-5 or GX9 for your use, because they both lack 2 out of the 3 things I mentioned above. I’ve owned an E-M10

Moving from Fuji to Lumix (S5 vs S9) for toddler photos & vlogging?

S9 has vastly superior AF, it's more pocketable ad more geared toward vlogging than the original S5. If you don't plan on making 30+ minutes long 4k/60p clips (as it can overheat) it will be fine. The Lumix 20-60 or the 18-40 (a bit worse but more conpact) are nice to start and with real time LUTs I

Fujifilm X-E5 vs. Panasonic Lumix S9 for video

Had s9, have got e5 now. For video creation - lumix no doubt, not even close. Better autofocus, stabilisation, open gate, formats - all of it. I have e5 for photos which size, feel look, EVF i prefer over s9. But value wise - s9 being close to 50% cheaper - there is no debate its better value. When

SG-image 35mm f/2.2 and other ~35mm lenses

It's so hard as each has it's own character. The SG-image makes my Lumix S9 easier to carry and relatively sharp whereas the Meike 35mm lens has faster autofocus and more uniform in its edge to edge rendering. The TTArtisan 40mm has some vignetting around the edges and lends itself more to darker to

How did you get into m43 system? What's your future plans with it?

a smaller camera The A7C is basically the only 'proper' full frame body that is that size (not counting non-EVF stuff like the S9); everything else, everything else in the full frame market loses to M43 on system size and weight. I have an R8 as my main camera and even that is bigger, heavier and th
