This is a camera killer, for sure. Is like a mini z9 with a smaller sensor but even more capable in some parts. Cost 70% less and can give similar results if you know how to play with the camera. I know all of you will say this sensor can't fight a fullframe one but man this specs are crazy, ill buy one and check myself. And video is almost the same than gh6 without fan to cool down the camera. One of the best hybrids available on the market it seems

Sensor size aside, I think X-H2s is better to compare to Z9 since it also has a stacked sensor. If one can afford slightly higher cost then X-H2s is a much better investment.

Great initial review, as always. I was hoping for a slightly smaller form-factor, but if this is what Panasonic had to do to be profitable with it, I understand. I hope the body size doesn't turn people off to the m43 format. I would love to see a flat-out high speed tracking comparison between this and the OM 1. And given some of the dynamic range boosting technology Panasonic is using, I would love to see a high iso comparison as well. The GH6 was criticized for its DR, and I know this sensor is modified in that regard, so any improvement is welcomed. I know this is cross format, but this is priced right in the range of some good apsc/ff gear as well, maybe even a quick comparison, or just your thoughts, on the g9.2 vs something like an r10/8, or the new Sony 6xxx would be interesting as well. There's a lot of great gear in this price range. We are fortunate, even in a declining market in general, to have a luxury of options here.

This is a very well-balanced feature set. I passed on the GH6 when it arrived without PDAF. I'm glad I did. It is great for what it is, but my next camera WILL have PDAF, and this just might be it. It seems to have all the still and video features I need. I'll know after watching and reading around 30 reviews! Thanks, Gordon, for this first look. Your assessments make sense.

Gordon, thanks so much for your excellent and detailed early review of the Panasonic G9 ii using pre-production firmware. I am convinced that the G9 ii is an awesome upgrade from the original Panasonic G9 in nearly all respects. However, with the new 25.2 MP dual-gain sensor on the G9 ii, I hope you might publish information about how the G9 ii image quality (with final production firmware) compares with the OM-1 and the original Panasonic G9 - across all ISO settings. You've asked viewers what they'd like to see in your next review of G9 ii with final firmware, and I am sure that most photographers are interested in what this new 25.2 MP sensor delivers in terms of image quality. Thanks again for your awesome videos; they are super-helpful to photographers and videographers!! I will probably upgrade my Panasonic G85 next year; not sure if I will get the G9 ii or the OM-1; both are very good tools !

A good review Gordon. Well done Panasonic. There's nothing here to make me switch from my OM-1 but I can see the attraction for current M43 Panasonic owners and the video capabilities will appeal to some as the OM-1 is less than stellar in this department. The real winner is the M43 format with 2 excellent flagship body options now available.

Long time no see! Love the review. I love MFT high-quality compact lenses. Been hoping for something like this for a while. Just wish it had been available before my trip to Egypt in 10 days ;-) I'm not sure I'm a fan of the missing top screen or lock on the top dial. Moving the on/off might be troublesome for my forefinger, but it just might have to get used to it ;-) I truly can't image going full-frame with innovations like this and the software advances available for post processing. There is quite a penalty for full-frame bokeh balls, IMO. The OM-1 comparison will be interesting. Maybe some videos on using these kool features? Cheers!

For me, the biggest advantage of this camera over the OM-1 is the HUMAN detection. With OM-A, as soon as the subject turns his/her face away, it seems that the OM-1 does not detect him/her anymore. The G9ii keeps the tracking on the subject moving to its HUMAN detection. Very useful feature for a bunch of applications where the face may be hidden by a scarf or momentarily turn his/her face away

Thank you Gordon, great review! In case you are going to test it more in the future, I'm interested in knowing more about the ISO 100 and the dynamic range of the sensor, especially when set to i.Dynamic. I'd also like to see a performance test of the Panasonic 100-300/4-5.6 II lens, since that can be a major differentiator for me if I decide to continue to stay in the system. Regarding the AF system, does it support the Sony's tracking mode, in which you select a random object/person and the camera then tracks in across the frame? That feature is very valuable since it prevents changing the AF settings and also moving the AF target.

Great video! Perhaps a good combination for shooting vlogs is the G9 II with the PanaLeica 9mm f/1.7 and electronic stabilization on HIGH. I don't even think a gimbal will be needed and there will be no trace of that annoying jelly effect. In a future review, when the camera is on sale and the firmware is more polished, it would be great if you could delve into how the Raw files behave in photos. How well they recover highlights and shadows.

The launch of the G9II is a significant boost for the m43 community. Recently, I've made a full transition back from Sony FF to m43. Virtually everything you can do with Fullframe can also be achieved with m43, but with less weight (which becomes increasingly important as you get older) and less intimidating to the surroundings. The video quality of the GH6 is impressive and fantastic to work with. However, compact and yet excellent cameras like the GX9 are pleasant companions for a day out. Naturally, the G9II (with its much-improved AF) is on my wishlist, along with the highly underrated OM5 from OM systems (420 grams). The latter camera is a hybrid marvel when it comes to both photo and video (4K and 120 FPS HD) in a small and lightweight body. Try capturing a handheld video with panning using a Sony (e.g., the zv1 or the a7c); it's quite challenging. The OM5 can do it, and, of course, the G9II can as well. Hopefully, Panasonic will continue to innovate and soon release a GX9 mkII and/or a G90 mkII.

Interested in your decision to go from Sony FF to M43. I was purely M43 with a GH5 and GX85, sold my GH5 and emptied my wallet to go with a Sony a7s III with some of their great GM glass. Sony's lack of ongoing support (i.e lens breathing compensation) has been very frustrating and with the G9 II being so complete I must admit I've been asking myself, "what if ?". Now my initial excitement has settled down a bit I think for the amount of money I'd drop selling my Sony gear to come back to Panasonic M43 would not be worth it. A super compact M43 rangefinder with G9 II like specs however and I think that equation would definitely change as I often find myself reaching for my GX85 over my a7s III for casual videography outings.

as a 'bird in flight' shooter and current owner of the OM-1 and 150-400 I am interested mainly in pure AF performance/keeper rates and what IBIS/IS losses (vs the OM-1) I will suffer with the 150-400 if going with a G9II. every little bit helps so every little loss will no doubt be a noticeable detriment. --i'm not likely ever going to use 60fps but i'd like to use 30fps, or higher, once in a while. it appears the G9II has the same limitation as the OM-1 with regards to choosing sequential(with AF for each frame) shooting speeds. i am stumped why, with the OM-1, my options are 25fps and 50fps. are there only two options with the G9II, being 20fps or 60fps? if so why? why can't i/we select any speed from 20fps up to 60fps? i've seen the G9II's IBIS/IS specs and, more importantly, what lenses and focal lengths they are derived from. They are similar enough to those of the OM-1 but well short of the 150-400's 500mm. Again, I have to consider the 150-400 and really need to know how well the G9II's IBIS will perform with the lens at full zoom with the 1.25X active because I often use the lens at 500mm. ***finally...my biggest, most frustrating, and, longest ongoing annoyance with Olympus/OMDS is having to have attained Master's degree in camera settings in order to just try to set the camera up for it's best performance. I'm still not sure if I have the camera (OM-1) set up correctly to achieve the best BIF results possible. Rarely, if ever, has an email (or a 10 email chain) to Olympus/OMDS helped in figuring out best setting choices. --regarding BIF and the G9II, am I going to have to spend a year or two of countless hours on youtube/web forums/emails trying to figure out how best to set the camera up for BIF?

Hi Gordon, than you for the video. I have two questions : 1- How about the IBIS performance in open gate and 5,7K compared to 4K ? Since the S1 and and GH6, very high resolution modes like 5,7K, 5,8K or 6K, (especially in open gate) have lower IBIS performance compared to 4K or C4K. The IBIS of the G9II seems improved compared to the GH6 so I'm very interested to see if the Open Gate IBIS is improved as well. 2-Also, the GH6 has sadly lot of details smearing in low light with non log profiles compared to previous cameras, fortunatly V-Log has much better details rendering and almost zero detail smearing so I use it almost everytimes. However, the DR BOOST who give a sharper image, better DR (better highlight recovery) and less noise is only available at ISO 2000, so even if the DR Boost improves noise, the non DR Boost V-Log at ISO 250 is cleaner. The fact than the G9II can use the V-Log DR BOOST at ISO 500 is great, but is the quality is the same than on the GH6 (no smearing/chroma noise reduction) ?

Thanks for this great first look! In it's own right this is an outstanding camera, however I feel some conflict here. I find it curious as to why both the GH6 and G9 II have been released without BSI sensors which for the the format and photosite density you'd think would have to be leaving low light and dynamic range performance on the table with a higher noise floor. The GH5s was a massive success in this regard. I also find it curious that they choose their photo centric body to introduce PDAF where DFD is not nearly so much an issue as with video. So now there are truly useful video features like 12-bit ext BRAW / ProRes RAW recording and Dynamic Range Boost stranded on the GH6 while the G9 II has the PDAF and insanely good video IBIS. As an ex GH5 video centric user (now on Sony FF) I think you summed it up perfectly that this IS the camera for those deep in M43 either on a G9 or GH5 and looking for an upgrade.

This is the wildlife video camera that I wish the gh6 was. Apparently there are rumors of a gh7 coming in November. If so I hope it’s exactly what the gh6 is but with pdaf (I love its body design - yes, even it’s size/weight). The gh6 is still a very enjoyable camera, and I’ll keep using it, it’s just not great for filming small animals in motion though (my primary use unfortunately)

Other than that, I almost pre-ordered one but I'd still like to see a test with production firmware as well as tests of the new lenses, as I have the current versions of both the Lumix G X 35-100 f/2.8 "Mk 2" and Leica 100-400 f/4-6.3 and wonder if they're worth upgrading.

I do find the CF Express card slots annoying as a photographer who likes to shoot dual slots. I guess if you're not mirroring saves to both cards, it won't matter. You can save to the faster one first, and then let images spill over to the second if the first runs out. I am curious how this camera compares to the OM-1. I was a Panasonic user for years. Then I gave up on them coming out with a replacement for the G9 and picked up an OM-1 last year. Of course, that's when Panasonic releases the G9 ii. I'm not sure what to do. I've really enjoyed using the OM-1, and am "finally" getting used to the entirely different ergonomics when compared to Panasonic. Though this updated G9 appears to have more in common with the OM-1's layout than my old G7 has with it. I certainly look forward to your further experience with this camera. I'd love to know how it goes for you, and how it compares to the OM-1. Thanks for the in-depth, hard work, as always!

Thanks Gordon for all your work. Glad you're testing the G9ii with Oly lenses because it's a major question for me (poor experience with oly 25 f1.8 on G85 by example). 2 questions for you : 1/ One thing i've learned from reviews on cameras in general, is that tracking is a thing, sharp focus may be another. So, the tracking seems really good, but, at the end, are the pictures sharp ? (especially in hard conditions, moving subjects, low light) ? 2/ is there differences on autofocus ability using mechanical shutter (=> black out) compared with ES (thus without blackout) ?
@cameralabs
@cameralabs 8 ай бұрын
That's a great question. As you know the tracking is software based and generally does a great job on most cameras at placing a box over the desired target. But whether the actual AF hardware can keep up with it or be driven as accurately is another matter. So yep, i'll try to show some examples with enlarged views of the subject in a burst.

Hi Gordon could you help verify if the camera shoots 14 bit RAW stills in both electronic and mechanical shutter? Also as an offbeat check, does the camera live view feed when connected to the Panasonic app switch from vertical and horizontal if the camera is mounted up top facing straight down (E.g. for a “flat lay” shot)? I had that on a previous M4/3 Panasonic model when the camera’s gyro(?) doesn’t detect well or is on a stand that is locked off but not 100% vibration free. On the app it just constantly switches between horizontal and vertical live view. Lastly, wonder if you have a speedbooster and can test with your DSLR lenses (maybe Sigma 40mm?) on how they perform with the G9II? Thank you!

The 9ii was the best of the bunch, but the GH6 was quite close (and a few times faster to me) and what surprised me was how well the original g9 did. Moving into frame it wasn’t far behind the OM1 (both took a second to focus- he was using a Pan. Lens on the OM1 I believe) and if in frame (just moving within) it was often as good as the others.

In addition, I liked the feel of the G9 when I tried it out in store because it felt so much like my Pentax K-3 II. However, I'm not in love with the new design, it being too square and with a seemingly much smaller grip. Mind you, it hasn't stopped me laying my money down and placing my pre-order. I suppose I'll just get used to it. Can't wait for the back end of November.

I understand there are people who do but why has Panasonic said that this is a 'photographer's' camera when in reality it's clearly a hybrid with seeming equal progress in both formats? Will the price of the GH6 come tumbling down? In addition, given that it's so far removed from the G9 as to be a completely new camera, why designate it the Mk 2, why not call it G95, for example? I suppose that's the problem with releasing the G10 such a long time ago. They've really painted themselves into a corner with the illogical numbering sequence. Still, never mind, eh!

I think people make a bit too much of sensor formats when comparing cameras, especially since most of us aren't making large prints. Panasonic has invited it here though by making the same body in two formats. They even have (nearly) the same resolution and price. Something that may not be getting quite enough attention is the autofocus burst rate. I think its 60 FPS is the fastest on the market. Despite its stacked sensor, the OM-1 only does 50, and that's limited to certain lenses. The G9 II has a larger buffer as well, something I found limiting when I tested that burst rate on the OM-1 with swallows in flight. Going to larger formats, the Fuji XH2S manages 40, and I don't think there's a full-frame faster than 30 (in raw, anyway). That, combined with the compact and moderately priced long telephoto options for M43 makes a good argument for the G9 II over the S5 II and other larger-format options for sports and wildlife. I shoot birds, and I have my eye on this camera. For more general-purpose photography though, I do think it's hard to justify the size and cost relative to larger formats. I'd love to see a new GX model next, and maybe an update to the 20mm pancake.

Hi Gordon, Thank you for creating this valuable video🙏. I'm interested to buy G9II in my country once it is available. In past I was using Lumix G85 for 4K video with decent IBIS but shifted to Sony system for video autofocus and low light noise free ISO range (till 1600) starting with camera a6400. If I'm not wrong , I had watched in your past videos that you are using a6400 to shoot youtube videos in real world outdoors. So, with this G9II video I'm sure that you are the best who can answer my querry or questions .Sorry for my bad English. I am using APSC sensor because I want deep depth of field plus medium blur ( achieved with aperture level f4 with sigma contempory 16mm-f1.4, 30mm-f1.4 lenses respectively) and ISO range without noise upto ISO 1600 on a6400. For extreme dark conditions with a6400 Cine1,Cine4 tuned profiles, I am fully satisfied with Sigma 16mm,30mm of aperture level f4 till noise free upto ISO 1600 and with noise upto ISO4000. Now, MFT can acheive deep depth of field easily as I know from G85 camera in video with best IBIS handheld. My question is based on new Lumix G9II and old Sony a6400 video comparison related to low light ISO performance outdoors in low light dark nights(example:with street lights). Is G9II ISO at 1600 and 3200 are equivalent (or better) comparison to Sony a6400 ISO 1600 and 3200 at low light nights outdoors with G9II auto dynamic boost auto on for 15-20min -10bit 422 video shoot with IBIS? I will use Lumix 10-25 f1.7 lens at any aperture at night with G9II. I'll be very thankful to you🙏, if you answer this ISO related video query based on G9II and a6400 comparison as there is huge years technology gap between these two cameras for ISOs in low light videos.
