Why does Panasonic pump out premium m43 cameras but make the S9 so cheap and plastic?

It keeps the price down so they can target a budget segment, first time buyers, or people using it as a second camera. Every manufacturer doesn't have to cover every segment of the market. The S9 at this point is unmatched value for someone wanting a full frame hybrid especially if they lean more to

Really disappointed in the S9 build quality

Panasonic built the S9 to a price point. For a reason. The fact that it has sold more than any other FF camera says enough.

Why has the GH Series fallen off the map?

The GH7 is the best hybrid MFT-camera on the market if you look at the features. It has 25MP, the best hand held high res and pretty good DR for stills. It has a video performance that is better than most other cameras in the price range. It is an extremely reliable work horse for people who need to

Panasonic has registered two new cameras in China!

I've got a few hopes: S1HII with a fully stacked sensor. My real hope is that they'd use the same sensor from the Z8/9 or even the A1/A1ii, but that's incredibly unlikely. I really want to see what the Lumix engineering team could do with the "highest end" hardware that other brands use. S9 style bo

Video Review - Lumix L10 in the hands of cinematic artists Cam Mackey & company

Regarding overheating... which is a very silly thing to talk about in a photo-centric camera. I've filmed for 20+ minutes in open gate on a very hot day in japan for my next video. We all filmed our talking head bits on the L10 on event day, maybe like 5 min takes at a time, and everyone was absolut

Lumix L10 Preview (Micro Four Nerds)

I'm sorry but I feel like Panasonic is helpless. They swing and miss with everything since the GX85. I love what they are trying to do but this leaves so many questions. I also love Emily's videos, but she is a content creator, she raves about a camera like the OM-3, then a couple weeks after her "1

How common is the Lumix S9 rear dial malfunction really?

The rear dial on my S9 became less and less responsive starting a couple of months after I purchased it despite what I would consider considerate use. That said I filed a warranty claim, received a shipping label, shipped the camera to a Panasonic repair center, had it repaired and returned to me al

Settled on Buying S5IIX, but Lost on Lenses for Content Creation

For the cheapest “you’re set” combo, I say get the Lumix 20-60mm, the Lumix 85mm 1.8, and the Pergear 35mm 1.4 manual. Three total lenses with three different and useful functions for less than the price of one Sigma or Lumix large-range zoom, and they’re all very lightweight. But I have a different

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

I got caught in the L10 hype but ended up buying an S9 instead

this is one of the most well reasoned takes ive seen on this topic. if there were a full frame compact with fixed zoom with hot shoe for flash and a leaf shutter and stabilized lens on the market of course id consider that over the l10. but theres not, and everyone saying “jUsT gEt An S9” seem to ha
