Arrgh it's here!!! What do you think???? 📷
I was super impressed with this camera! I wasn't expecting me to like it as much! - Firby DOP
Started on a g85 and really love the m43 sensor. Now I am on a s5II and that feels bit crippled to this g9II. The s5II should be more be the photo centric one, but is crippled while a g9II gets everything including on video without paid updates. that feels weird. I hope the updated subject detection makes it to the s5II, and a the pre capture would be a welcome too :)
It's everything I was dreaming for a new M4/3 camera!
I think its swell. I also now wonder what they have left in the cards for an eventual PDAF GH.
For a M4/3 camera it sure is a brick. I personally would like that autofocus in a smaller and photocentric body. We are not all video creators. But I'm affraid that won't happen this day and age.
Once again, Panasonic delivers EVERYTHING we asked for, and we still end our reviews (others too) with a wish list for the next time. Let's just appreciate this camera for a little while first. It is amazing!
I don't understand how this channel doesn't have a bigger audience. Your sample shots and clips are easily the best of most channels I'm subbed to, and I realize that most of them are glorified spec sheet readers. I really don't need the entire specs and numbers in a video, I can read it in an article or the product page at my own pace. Excellent video Em! These features in a smaller body would be a killer product since Fuji has axed XE-4, M43 has one of the nicest lens lineup (all things considered).
Thanks so much! I worked so hard for this launch, I think I ended up doing 8 jobs in 10 days with the camera 😂📷
@@MicroFourNerds it's insane, just the variety of work your shown and how well you cover the features one would think of as gimmicky :D
I've been subbed for a long while after someone recommended your channel on reddit but I've been rewatching your videos now properly and they're a visual delight. Thanks again for the work you do, my fav photography/gear channel right now ^ ^
I agree
Once ppl hear M43's they bypass it, but only the one's that have never used one 😉
43k isn't to be sniffed at for a M43 channel.
It's pretty good.
Totally agree with you. If Panasonic gives us Phase AF and Real Time LUTs in an smaller body, it will be awesome for EDC, street photography and personal photos.
It would literally be my ideal camera 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
GH6II perhaps 🤔
@@danimarti5424 And to add microfon input and weather sealing
The size of G9ii is ridiculous, bigger than full frame.
Yes, it is fab but I very much agree that the best would be a GX9 II 😁 Come on Pany, we are all waiting!
The G9 was my dream camera when it came out. My GX85 is still going strong. The mark II is compelling, but as you mentioned, a GX9ii may be moreup my alley.
Yes, the real time luts is SUPER COOL! I really hope they bring that feature into a smaller form factor M43's body too. The Phase Detect AF is awesome as well! Fantastic!
I can’t believe the G9ii was even better at autofocusing than the S5iix . Incredible. I like the way you took the time to study all the minimal improvements that matter.
solid hybrid camera! Many thanks to you for doing this awesome review! Now, i'm excited about the GH7!
Lovely review as usual, really enjoy your joyful personality! Makes me smile when watching your review Emily!
This is my favorite review I have watched on youtube! As a G9, Gh6, S5, and S52 owners this is exactly what i was expecting. They obviously couldn't get the DR boost to work as they wanted in the GH6, but had to get it out the door. The G92 is what the gh6 was supposed to be and will be a great camera for years to come. BTW we have used our GH6 for well over a year to make hundreds of videos that don't require AF and it has been 100% rock solid, so I am not complaining. I just hope lumix can keep it going.
Phase detect in a Panasonic m43 body, finally the prophecy has been fulfilled! If they release a GX9 II with these specs or close to it, it will be an instant buy for me. Also wow that stabilization was amazing.
I'm loving that people want smaller cameras! I'm so with you on that, and I so hope lumix listen 🙏
@@MicroFourNerdsGM1 mk2? Phase detect autofocus? Hint, hint. 😉
@@cineffectSeems like a GM body is too small to fit IBIS into. No really tiny and light m43 camera has IBIS. But maybe phase detect.
@@overnightdelivery Well I do not need IBIS, I am a filmmaker.
I would be OK with a decent 4k 10bit 422 30fps but tiny body (no even need 4k 60)
It would be my c camera for sure
You are the best! So happy you’re here with us on for the Micro Four Thirds journey ❤🎉
Fast becoming my favorite photography channel! Thanks
A simply incredible, in depth review! Some really great footage too!
Such a good vid! LOVE the look of this cam and that IBIS looked insane... 🔥😱
Literally the best review out there!
I’ve been using a combo of the S1 and g85 (after my g9 went for a swim last spring) and nearly bought a em5 mk iii a few times but I’m sooo glad I held out long enough to see the product launch teaser come out. I pre ordered it during the announcement once I heard just a quarter of the specs. Very excited to make this my travel/skiing camera!
Loved the video! Your reviews are always a delight. I own the S5iiX, but I'm thinking a GH9ii is in my future for next year as I have several M43 lenses already. I feel like these two cameras are the best of both worlds! Thanks Lumix!
100% agree on the smaller camera ask. Small cameras are just so much fun!
Looks great! Can't wait for the Gx9ii 😊
I know right?! Take my money Lumix!!! (I really hope they make it!)
Thanks for the nice review, good job as always. Love the camera, will get one as soon as possible to upgrade from my EM1II/G80
Awesome review and what an impressive camera! All those video features 😱
Brilliant review of what looks to be an exceptional camera. Can't wait to get my hands on one
As usual, I really appreciate the joyful spirit you bring to all of your content and reviews in particular. You are clearly having fun and it’s infectious. I 100% agree with you on the greedy greeds for a smaller Panasonic body w/phase detect. Maybe OM System will surprise us with a Pen EP-8!
It sounds great, but I’m hoping there will be a GX9II with maybe a few of the extra bells a whistles taken off so we can get that smaller rangefinder body.
That was a great video, loved it. Thanks.
I loved my former G9. Such a great camera for its time. When I heard about the G9 mkii I was extremely excited. I've watched many videos on it but after watching yours here, I'm sold. I have used full frame, APS-C and I definitely have a soft spot for m4/3. Great video!
I agree. I'm glad there are student discounts that exist because close to 2k I found this pretty steep. Got mine and could not be happier.
Thank you for doing the stress test of the unlimited recording! That’s the answer I was looking for~
Excellent review. Looks like a great camera overall!
Excellent Review. Very helpful. Thank You!
Looks like a good succesor to the G9. To me, the best rhing about it is that it shows that Panasonic are still very much in the MFT business. I really hope that Mystic Nerd's GX-whatever shows up.
I would also love a GX9ii too for travel even though I moved to full frame a while back, I miss the smaller size. Great video as always
You are a QUEEN of micro four thirds! Great review!
Thanks Pav! Your video is fab! 🙏
Amazing channel. Instantly subscribed!
Yess!!A gx9ii with this ibis, autofocus and luts.The best EDC cam.
I'm saving up to get this for Christmas. I had tried numerous techniques with the DFD autofocus system to get good images but this will be just perfect!! Also, I can open myself up for more event photography next year with this!!
Yes this would be ideal for events! Snappy and reliable af!
Thanks for yet another great video - everything we need to know in less than 20 minutes, fantastic images and your passion and enthusiasm for MFT is a breath of fresh air. Very much appreciated and I couldn't agree more about wishing Panasonic would bring these great new features to an updated version of the GX9 - including a better hand grip, EVF and weather-sealing. Just in case I am tempted - what battery does the G9II take? 🙂
Thank you! The g9ii takes the same batteries as gh6 and all the s5 cameras - DMW-BLK22
Love your reviews. Keep it up.
Thanks for this. I’m about to get a g9ii for wildlife video to pair up with my OM1’s. I have a camera of each format upto Fuji GFX but micro 43 just works for me for so many subjects. Seeing your channel grow is great too. Well done.
Amazing video love your excitement
Amazing camera!! Thanks for a look at it.
Great video. Your focussing demo tells the story well that the G9ii is quite fast at locking onto a focus.
Awesome review before we buy one! Thank you so much from California! ❤
Yep I will be ordering mine I think 🙂 great video as always, so thank you 😊
🙏🙏
Great review. I’m digging colors coming from camera as well.
Awesome what a beast! How did you manage to keep this quiet while testing it? Great first review Emily! Good job Lumix. I agree totally with you on a new GX 9 ii, that would be wonderful! Hey have a great time in Kenya and fun with the wildlife, the people are super friendly ( hakuna matata!) I grew up there and lived there for many many years and still have many friends there! Take care and look forward to more videos and tests with that new PL 100-400 and the G9 ii 😊
Lots and lots of well places gaffa tape to keep the camera hidden 😅😅😅😅 thank you!! Yes I can't wait for Kenya I'm so excited!
Looks amazing. I'd miss the mode switch on the front but sure i'd forget once using the improved AF.
Wow. It looks huge!!
G9 II for the win. Have been waiting (im)patiently for this camera, and am glad that the wait has been worth it. All cameras have compromises, but it seems for me that the G9 II compromises in all the right places. The feature set is comprehensive, at a competitive price, and it's compatible with my existing glass.
ohh yess!!! Vlog and unlimited recording!! that camera is a beast!
Fantastic review Emily. Really enjoyed it. Does it still have the focus stacking/post focus feature and "red mode"?
If they manage to put all this new tech in a smaller body, it might be the fist time I would really consider upgrading my trusty GX85 that has gone with me everywhere. The M43 market has too many perks and fans to just leave it in the dust.
The main perk being smaller than APSC…
Amazing review, you are a treasure. Thank you
I'll probably pre-order at launch. 👍
Looks awesome. That IBIS is solid.
The gh7 is gonna be solid. Great to see lumix offer great quality gear.
GH7 or G9iiX?
@@paradanglersgh7 most likely will share same design with gh6 so cfexpress+SD slot. Here you can see only 2xSD. And GH7 coul introduce us to a build in ND filters world.
OMG you completely sold me.
THIS is now my dream camera. (Unless there’s a GX9II!!!!)
I can't wait to get my hands on this G9II. Thanks for the detailed review.
Quick Q please 🙏 If you don't use the full buffer can you start taking more photos, or do you always have to wait for the buffer to empty? (albeit quicker if you didn't use as much of it in the first place!)
Thank you
A great video as always! In regards to overheating, consider keeping the display folded out to allow more airflow to the back of the body and at least a few minutes will possibly be gained.
❤ Wonderfull, I want one!
I find silent shutter burst mode at 20fps and pre-burst mode, as you call it here, on the OM-1 is more than enough for most situations. I've yet to need 50fps. That's where I'm not sure the C-AF can keep up. I've really been needing to test this. I do think the photography capabilities of the G9 ii are interesting. Though why they didn't include a few more computational modes I'm not sure. Perhaps they'll come later? I know I find myself using the live ND feature on the OM-1 far more than I thought I would. I rarely even pull out my ND filter. Thanks for outlining the photography side of things on the G9 ii. I think because it has so much video potential, people tend to gloss over this. Even if it's the "photography-centric" camera, video is always in the spotlight. It's just what is most popular. So your attention to detail is appreciated. Keep up the great work. It's nice to have found you by happenstance in the flood of G9 ii videos coming out. RUclips recommended something helpful? How did that happen? lol
💯🔥great video!
Wow! Am I the only one super excited for real time LUTS for photos? Messing with the Fuji recipes was probably one of the most enjoyable things back when I had an x100v, but the idea of having the customizability as LUTS is crazy and would make travel work so much easier!
Your views are about on par with Tony & Chelsea Northrup for a g9ii video posted around the same time.
That's impressive. This channel is much more genuine and enjoyable in my opinion!
Love the videos, thanks again!
Brilliant vid, congrats! Does it have focus bracketing?
Once again a great review. It's great to see decent AF finally trickle down to M4/3, but when can we expect to see the S1ii or S1hii.
Come on Panasonic, pull your finger out!
Nice review. Very excited to see the Om-1 comoparison. FYI- the original G9 has pre-burst already. Awesome feature.
It does indeed but only to 0.4 seconds. Much improved on this model 😊
The camera that all m43 users were waiting for. WOW finally great auto focus
The af has impressed me SO much!
nice review maam! Subscribed!!!
Looks great
Great review. Looking forward to your review of the new 100-400. Probably most interested in how the new 35-100 compares to the MK1 version on this new sensor. I skipped the MK2 version of that lens as I didn't feel it offered much over the first version. I have the OM1 and G9. Shoot mostly with the OM1 as its better for sports and bird photography. But I kept the G9 because it's a great camera and just feels better in my hand. Anyway would love to see some of your thoughts on older lenses to keep vs investing in the new ones.
Great intro to this camera. With the serious performance this camera has for the money, it makes me seriously consider M43 as a proper pro hybrid option. Can't wait to try it.
Thanks Emily!!!
Yeah, that's a pretty compelling opinion! Compact body and I would be all in, definitely on the shortlist though!
This is so much more than I had expected. They put everything into the camera and left nothing out. They could cripple the G9-II a bit to leave more features exclusive to the GH6 but I think PDAF and the new stabilization is so good, that this wouldn't change a lot. So going all in with the G9-II was the right way and I have the feeling there are more features in the pipeline that will go into a GH6-II or GH7 to make this again standing out in video production.
This is an amazing review! been looking for this in a while..I am jumping from gh5 to g9ii all my lenses are manual and i was wondering if you have any recomandation for some auto focus lenses ?
You just made my day when you casually mentioned the G9II has Live Composite!! Among other things this was one of the main reasons I went for the G90 over the G9 when they came out. Gonna share your video on my group (Admin here) Panasonic Lumix Series Users Group :D
Awesome thank you!
A GX9 II would be great! Nice video.
I left Panasonic years ago when I upgraded my GH4 to a Blackmagic BMPCC4K. I think the G9II is reason enough to come back. Internal raw recording is great, but I miss my flippy screen and long battery life. I won't know myself with IBIS & AF.
Looks amazing. I love the top LCD on my G9, so it's a shame that's gone. Suppose I best get saving.
OOo - a GX9II would be amazing.
Yes 🙌 de Lumix G9ii 🎉
“A super cool baby”😂 great super informational review. It’s actually more of the camera for me than the S5II.
I’m so pleased you got to be one of the first to review a pre production model. Zebras on a Zebra at 6.30 was very clever 😅
Serious question, how is the shutter, I’ve always been very happy with my G9 being quite a light action?
Looking forward to your test and review of the 100-400 too, have a wonderful Safari 👍
The shutter is definitely a bit less trigger happy than the original! But still very snappy 😁
Pretty dope. Still undecided if I would just be better off with the gh6 for the higher recording modes, hopefully the gh6 will get the phase detect, that would be the main thing I would be worried about. Guess it would depend on the cost difference also
I think for my wedding business I'm holding out for a gh6ii/gh7/ whatever it may be / if it may be (I've no info at all on it unfortunately!) I'd say if video is 80% your purpose, having a camera with a fan in it is really beneficial. If you want a hybrid camera for both, the g9ii is stunningly good!
BIG bada boom. So happy Panasonic is keeping MFT alive and well. Excellent review as always, thanks.
Agreed on the form factor. Timeline fits nicely with my budget and needs ca. 2025. Would prefer a G80/G90 style, maybe they'll give us both. And won't forget mic jacks please.
I’m currently using a GH5 for video. I’m officially jealous of the af on the g9ii🤯
Hey great video, what do you think about using g9ii for weddings, does autofocus system cope with the amount of people at a party? Thanks!
Nice review !
Also your voice over voice is amazing, you could do work in that department it pay very well and could be good and fun experience.
I have just found the M43 system, using mostly medium format and APS-C Fuji for work and your channel has helped a lot. Im using a gm1 for a everyday camera because of its smallness and i would sell a kidney for some of the G9II specs in a smaller format like the gx9 m2 if they ever release one.
You better go with the GX880. Nearly as small but advanced in most regards.
Let's hope for a gx9 markii!!
Nice review! Would it be possible and could we expect some of the G9II's magic sprinkled over the original G9 in the way of a firmware update you think?
It looks very promising for m43, hope to see it in more compact GX body!
Wow. Great to have your thoughts Emily. I ditched the Lumix Live video and jumped over to yours! All I can say is, it's about time! Hopefully the release date in Canada is not too far away. Anyone want to buy my mint OM-1?
Moving from the lumix stream to here is high praise indeed! 🙏
@@MicroFourNerds Heck ya! Those boys are always SO guarded and afraid to say the wrong thing. You give us the straight goods, honest real user opinions, and tons of examples. They mostly talk specs. Amazing that you got to use it for a couple of weddings and had time to test so many subjects. That's the value you bring!
Dangittt. I already sold off my Fuji kit to migrate to Sony for work and Oly for edc. Looks like m43 might be my whole kit if this camera is anything to go by! Great vid!
I have to look no further!!! Great video 💯
WOW, Emily!!! I'm dazzled! Of all the cameras you compared, it left me wondering which camera loves Emily the most? It has to be the G9ii. As a G9 shooter, your review demonstrated to me most of the "dream" features I hoped for last year when the GH6 was announced. Better late than never! One thing I did not see in your review or any of the other reviews today was 4K/6K photo mode. It's great that the G9ii can blow out 60fps jpg/raw files, but it totally overwhelms the brain to go back through that many jpg/raw files to pick out the moment. I was hoping/dreaming of 4K/120 fps photo and 6k/60fps photo. It's simple and more efficient. Has Lumix dropped one of its unique features to quench the desire for mega fps jpg/raw output? Great review, Emily!🙌🙌💯
I think the burst modes have taken over the 6k photo modes unfortunately! I think this is my favourite camera to date for sure! I will cry when I have to give this review unit back 😂 I think my original S5 and a few othrr bits are on the chopping block so I get get one of these.
Love your videos - am seriously thinking of getting this (I have the original G9); how is it for b&w photography (the tonal range)? Thanks!
Great review, really excellent content. Can you tell me, will the newish Olympus 90mm Macro work well on this body? Thanks
Hi, nice review.
May I ask. How is the rolling shutter in OPEN GATE 6K video when movement is high, let's say walking. My G9 doesn't do it well hence asking.
Did you happen to use the external SSD through the USB-C? I was wondering if it cleared the buffer faster than writing to the SD card when shooting photos.
Buying right now 🎉
Yassssss! 💪💪💪💪💪
