Panasonic G9 is not Splash Proof quoted by Panasonic: www.panasonic.com/nz/consumer/cameras-camcorders/lumix-g-mirrorless-dslm-cameras/dc-g9.html ·Splash Proof is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this camera offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. Splash Proof does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact with water. Rain is water so beware if water get in the camera they will not warranty it.

Absolutely and thank you for your response! If you don't mind I do have a question about the 4K recording limits. Once it reaches the 10 or 30 min. limit in 4K does it continue to record while just automatically starting a new video file that can be stitched together seamlessly in post? Or does it completely stop recording and you have to manually begin recording by pressing record again?

It unfortunately completely stops recording, you need to press the recording button again.

Just stumble on to your KZfaq channel last week. Love it. Great reviews. I was in the process of getting rid of 25 years of Nikon stuff and your review confirmed my thoughts on the Sony A7lll. I really struggled with the G9 but went with the Sony because everyone states the image is better. That said I am still struggling and may send it back mainly because of zoom lens price and size. Would you say there is a big difference daylight - landscape/wildlife - images. If close I may return and go with the G9. Again, very good information.

@TheHybridShooter 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you, in good light the main difference is the dynamic range, which is better on Sony, but the G9 is very good as well and it beats A7 III if you use high-res mode on tripod. There are some very good telephoto lenses available for the G9, so that can also be important factor if you shoot a lot of wildlife, I will make a review of Leica 50-200 soon, that is an excellent lens for example.

But less of Time travel and a reminder that this review has convinced me that the G9 is for me. I am not a photographer, I am not interested in doing all the wonderful things that all you talented photographers do so well, I don't want to do portraits, glamour, birds, sports etc I am a muddy boots survey technician and I am now confident the G9 will cover all my stuff on site. So thanks again and although I don't know this Hybrid Shooter fella, I like his style so I recommend that this review is watched.

Hi Will. Thanks for the review on the G9. I saw you want camera questions sent here rather than email, so here goes: I am debating between a G9 and GH5 right now. I do 90% video which would normally have made the GH5 the sure way to go, but with the G9 2.0 firmware and 400 cheaper (where I live) it is very difficult to decide. It seems the VFR on GH5 is higher quality and obviously also higher bitrate. However, my frequent use would be 4K 60p and 1080 120p with most time spent in 1080 422 24p and 60p. Knowing this, can you recommend camera over another?

According to my reading, it seems the two cameras are identical with firmware 2.0 but G9 has better Dynamic range, AF and color science (can you confirm?). As far as the majority of video options the two also seem identical now (minus the ALL-I and C4K on GH5). Is this true?

Hello there. Thanks for the videos. The Panny G9 and this lens is available as good price here as combo in UK. I have never used a Panasonic but I have used an Olympus OM-D EM10 Mk2. How would you compare the performance of the G9 sensor compared to the older gen Em10mk2? How is the AF compared to the Em10mk2? I love the MFT lenses. How does this combo perform for HDR landscape and portraits in low light? If I buy this combo, I will also need a versatile prime. Which one do you suggest?

You think firmware update would allow this camera to have V-log? This is the only thing stopping me from getting it. Also I'm hearing from other reviews that the high resolution mode is not good for landscape because *any* movement produces ghosting (clouds, trees, etc..) Can you test this out and see how much movement is tolerated from the pixel shift

@TheHybridShooter 6 жыл бұрын

Technically it is definitely possible to have V-Log on G9, but I'm pretty sure that it will not be available for G9, Panasonic will keep that for the GH5. Every movement is visible while using high-res mode, because the IBIS is moving the sensor, which means that it is not providing any stabilization. If the movement in the picture is natural, like moving clouds or water, it doesn't necessarily look bad, it is like shooting long exposure with ND filter.

hey bro, love your reviews and would appreciate your help, i currently use a g85/80 and i use it to shoot music videos however, continuous AF is important in order to get specific shots in music videos and as you already know it is unreliable on the g85/80, i am thinking of upgrading to the G9 or GH5, which one would you suggest?

@TheHybridShooter 6 жыл бұрын

If you need reliable continuous AF, G9 is much better than GH5.

Hello, thanks for your reviews. I currently own Olympus EM5 mark2 and have all Olympus lenses ; 25mm f1.2, 12-40 f2.8 ,75mm f1.8, 45mm f1.8. I think it's about time for me to update my camera and EM1 mk2, G9, and GH5 are on my list. I shoot 70% stills but want to learn and get better at videos too. What would you recommend?

@TheHybridShooter 6 жыл бұрын

You're welcome, out of those I would choose the G9 for your purposes, because it is oriented mainly on the still but it has very good video futures at the same time.

@ttgnam81 6 жыл бұрын

The Hybrid Shooter thanks for your response. G9 would be still good even if I have all Olympus lenses? Would AF speed and accuracy still be fine?

I haven't tested Olympus lenses on the G9 yet, but according to the reviews the AF is still faster than on EM-1 Mk. II even with Olympus lenses.

I just found out the G9 doesn't let manual exposure control in 120fps and 180fps recording modes? Also, is it possible to select 120fps or is it 60fps or 180fps? If that's true, then it's decided I'll get the GH5 over the G9. Can you confirm this? Thanks!

@TheHybridShooter 6 жыл бұрын

Yes it is true, those are those limitations that I have talked about, you can choose 48, 50, 60, 150 and 180 fps. Slow-mo on GH5 also has very limited use, it is just VFR not a true 180 fps, no AF or sound recording for example, not sure about the exposure, make sure to get all information about it it is important for you.

@pauloancarvalho 6 жыл бұрын

It has manual exposure control in VFR on the GH5, I've already used it but never tried out a G9. Not having sound is not an issue for me when shooting more than 50fps, neither autofocus. But not having manual exposure control is deal breaker.

@TheHybridShooter 5 жыл бұрын

Well, that is how exposure compensation works. It changes one of the settings (ISO, shutter speed or aperture) to make the image brighter of darker, so it cannot work with fully manual settings on any camera.

@TheHybridShooter 5 жыл бұрын

@@AerialSnapshots I don't really understand. The camera can't change the exposure with fully manual settings, and the exposure compensation also cannot work because camera can't change any settings to make the image brighter or darker. You can only use exposure compensation in fully automatic or semi-automatic modes like aperture priority or shutter speed priority, or with Manual and auto ISO. Weather you shoot still or video makes no difference.

Five months ago I sold my A7III and Tamron 28-75... and went back to my old Canon gear. I never got used to Sony interface and feeling. It was just an accurate machine, but it had no soul. With half the money I got for the lens I bought a new G7 to get familiar with MFT. There is a noticeable difference between the G7 and my A7III (A7III is superior in every way), but the user experience is far better with G7...so now I'm seriously considering G9 as it seems to have an improved picture quality. The main advantage is the size of lenses, Sony lenses were super expensive and the good ones were actually quite big.
