There are literally 1inch sensor cameras that cost more then this FF camera and yet folks have the Nerve to brag about that.

@nickalot Ай бұрын

hey yall, fyi; It's (Mbps) megabit! not (MBps) megabyte! hahaha. it's quite a big difference since a 1MB megabyte is approximately 8Mb megabits. so 50 megabits per second is approx 6.25Megabytes per second!

At £800 with a pancake 35mm or 28mm, this might be viable. At £1500, it’s a problem because you can get an A7c for just over £1300 or good APSC for £800 up that will be small and do more. The alternative would have been to have a fixed lens and a leaf shutter.

I agree generally. $1200 seems more realistic. I would be interested at that price. I am not a hardcore hobbiest.

Although I'm impressed with this camera, I think the Lymix S9 is primarily video centric. However, as a stills shooter, I am looking forward to an S7 photo centric camera with a mechanical shutter in the same sleek body design. That seems like an ideal camera to me. Especially if the sensor will allow you to use Leica M Mount lenses.

Everywhere I look today, conservative photo people don't seem to comprehed what and who this camera is for, and tirelessly demand it to be S5 II.

@thissidetowardscreen4553 Ай бұрын

I have never been so underwhelmed by a camera release. The cost is way to high! They dumbed down things and then made other things complex. Positive: stabe and focus. Electronic shutter...cough, rolling shutter...cough... Overheating in HD mode after 20 min. The luts is just colour profiles and sims. The camaera point it to be small and then the only lens they give you is a manual pancake lens???? I wanted to be more positive!

@ry2456 Ай бұрын

If they a a good reasonably priced set of pacakes ($300-500) and drop the price bellow 1200 I think it would make a lot of sense for casual hobbiest like myself.

@PPLRRN 15 күн бұрын

You got it wrong, it wont overheat after 20 mins. You can start another clip after. It would probably overheat in an hour.

@ShawnPBruce Ай бұрын

The cold shoe is wild to me. I’m interested as a little gimbal camera, especially with open gate. I wonder if you can monitor audio through the USB-C port with an adapter. I can’t justify buying it new at that price point, but I’d be game once it hits the used market or has some holiday discounts applied.

@jaegerschtulmann 28 күн бұрын

no it can't, Hugh brownstone tried using a variety of dongles. Your only hope is if Panasonic implements that function for their usb-c port as a firmware update. Frankly, the s5II is much better value and I suspect the luts in camera will also be implemented by many brands soon (except fuji who has film simulations already)

As a content creator open gate in most cameras is useless to me. It never seems to appear in a slow-motion format. Most of my clips are taken at 50fps or 100fps just in case I need to slow the footage. Also I rarely get asked to shoot for YT its all FB Insta and Tiktok nowadays. So Im constantly in vertical mode as per the brief. Also the image is bigger on my rear screen if I hold my camera vertically, plus its easier to frame esthetically instead of trying to judge two sets of frames markers intersecting. I really do think open gate is over sold, and a lot of content creatorors will buy the camera and end up reverting to vertical shooting. I think its YT reviewers that cant see this.

I think this camera was conceived by Panasonic to be a hardware extension of an app, for people whose creative/work life revolves around a smartphone. But, that market is also driven by the “cool” factor, and I’m not sure the S9 embodies that enough for buyers to go for the price. It’ll be interesting to see how the LUT angle plays out.

Thanks. Fully understand that #PanasonicLumix is aiming at the "vloggers market". Hope the #lumixS7 will be a full frame version of the GX8 for example with the tilting EVF, but an upgraded body to today standards... but for photographers first in mind. The Sigma contemporary lenses will look great Lumix rangefinder FF.

@garydmorris Ай бұрын

Not for me. (1) price seems a little high considering the paired down features. (2) Inability to add an EVF when shooting in very bright sunny days when the rear screen is likely to be washed out is not handy. (3) I tried the S5II and found the menus very confusing since I don't shoot video other than clips with family. I suspect this camera has similar menus. A BIG plus is the weight. I'm sure there will be many buyers… just not me.

@thomaschamberlin2485 Ай бұрын

Earlier in a leaked specs video they said the menu was "simplified". I have yet to see a review that mentions the menu.

@PPLRRN 15 күн бұрын

Its 35% cheaper than the S5ii in my country and thats with the 20-60 kit lens. I agree with everything they removed to keep the cost down. I dont use the VF especially in bright sunny conditions. One wrong turn and you'll blind yourself. My right eye is no longer perfect due to it adjusting everytime I stare at the VF.

@garydmorris 15 күн бұрын

@@PPLRRN The feature reductions are OK however I would have liked a "hot shoe" and an optional EVF. As I noted before relying on the rear TV is insufficient in bright sunlight. Finally at $1500US I think the S9 is a bit overpriced. By year end holidays the cost will drop to a more appropriate $1299US.

@PPLRRN 14 күн бұрын

@@garydmorris That is true. A hotshoe will solve that. Perhaps in the S9ii, my guess is 1) the electronics required won't fit in the body in its current target dimension. 2) they probably think the ZVe1 didn't have it as well but was well-accepted by consumers. In terms of pricing, they probably also thought its priced well below the ZVE1 and they still have better features like IBIS, Anamorphic desqueeze, LUTs, more megapixels, open gate, etc. I plan to buy it in December.

Somebody will do this properly, because there's a good idea going to waste here. I think this is a mess. How hard would it have been to include a hotshoe, thereby giving the user the option of an EVF and other accessories? I also can't see that the 'full-frame look' is likely to be so very attractive to content creators. Not being one, I'm happy to be wrong about this.

@pmc7105 29 күн бұрын

From a photo standpoint, it would have been nice to see a 45mp sensor in there, a hot shoe to add a viewfinder if desired, and better stills quality (I've heard electronic shutters degrade quality). The 14-28mm and 28-200mm look like a nice and light 2 lens set-up, just needs a better sensor. The A7Cii and A7CR seem like better bodies for photos, but Sony doesn't have comparable lenses (still waiting for a 14mm zoom that takes filters (all the other manufacturers have them) and a 24-200mm (the Tamron 28-200mm can work in a pinch, but it's not wide enough for a walk-around lens)).

@PPLRRN 15 күн бұрын

Well YT creators are mostly in studios. So they use external hdmi for recording with no limits, they dont need grip as its in a tripod or mounted. They definitely wont use the viewfinder as they are the subject. They dont use flash, they use lights. Ironic isnt it? And if they use cameras for B roll, its either in a gimbal or mount. Nobody pans and films a product using an EVF.
