The Best Stream Camera? ...Not Quite - Panasonic Lumix G9 | Crash Course Streaming

- Harris Heller of Alpha Gaming once spoke of the perfect camera all streamers would buy. Power and clean 1080p 60fps through USB3 or USB-C while allowing for interchangeable lenses - the dream camera of the future. I was searching through DSLR s and mirrorless cameras and came across the Panasonic Lumix G9: Advertising active power, control, and video output through USB-C, it seemed too good to be true. With this setup, you wouldn't need an Elgato Camlink and you wouldn't need a dummy battery.
Well, it was too good to be true. But it's still pretty cool. Let's take a closer look.

So, some more advanced differences between the G9 and the GH5, in case you're more than a streamer:
You can adjust the shutter by angle on the GH5, which means you don't have to adjust the shutterspeed every time you adjust framerate
There are far more recording options on the GH5, including more options for slow-mo, cinema 4k, and HDR
The GH5 has a better rear LCD while the G9 has a better viewfinder
Worth noting that the G9's time limit is 10 minutes at 4k60
The GH5 is slightly heavier which will help with stabilization but the G9 has an ever so slightly better stabilizer to make up for it
The G9 I believe has a huge high-res photo mode it does by moving the sensor around and taking multiple photos and combining them, but this requires a still target and a tripod like a long exposure
Generally my recommendation is: if you're doing a lot of photography, stills, and long exposures, with the occasional wedding shoot and video on the side, and want to stream every once in a while, the G9 is hard to beat; if you want to do a lot of professional videography, youtube videos, music videos, and beautiful streams with maximum control, with the occasional photoshoot for you kid's senior photos or something, the GH5 is simply unbeatable and can be found used for about the same prices as a new G9 and is worth every penny 😄
I hope whatever you decide that you take the time to support the channel by using the affiliate amazon links in the description of this video, which will send a commission my way at no extra charge to you 😄 it's hard to go wrong with either camera!
I was about to buy the G9 to upgrade my live stream camera... Now I'm doing more research. Thank you.
Happy to have helped!!
Enjoyed watching this😅
When you said "it fucking died" that got me lol. Great vid man!
Lol thanks my guy glad you enjoyed 🥰
Every single live video "feature" of the G9 is frustrating. Fighting dirty HDMI, menu sections mysteriously disabled, battery dies while on USB, dumb old-style USB, flippy display must be off to work. Everything goes back to frustration mode when the camera is turned back on. I hate my G9.
It's so hard man. It has so much potential
Good vid bro. Had me scared for jdub cause he just got a lumix but thankfully he got a g7
The G7 is fantastic! The best starter camera.
“Well, really he has like 50 videos on cameras”
- Neat probably in 2021
Three years old, but I'll ask anyways. Do you know if it burnt through the battery faster than it charges on all the different video qualiti (4K 60, 4K 30 and 1080p 60) or just on highest?
Thanks, great video!
Ooo, that's a tough one to answer. I believe so, since I would have tried the lesser qualities, since those would be the ones with no built-in recording limit. Can't quite say for sure though!
@@TheNeatwork thanks anyways! 😅👍
Just had a 1,5h video call with my G9 hooked up via HDMI, it turned off after 45 mim due to overheating, every restart gave me like 10mim till next turnoff… fyi!
They were so close. SO. CLOSE. Gonna have to play the waiting game until some company decides to take that plunge and get us that dream stream cam. (Which is no real loss for me, because I’m flat broke anyways)
You won't be forever!
I feel like Panasonic doesn't even realize the streamer market exists when they could dominate with just a few tweaks.
@@TheNeatwork Since this comment, the Panasonic Tether for Streaming program has been released, have you had any experience with it? If so, how is it?
@@luca_sbll I haven't tried it! If I do I will update
Hi, thanks for the video! On the other hand I have a problem with the G9, after a while (short), the camera turns off telling me that the camera is overheating. How should I do ?
This is a common problem for cameras that are geared toward photo and not video. The GH5 being a video camera weighs almost as much as a full-frame camera because it contains a huge fan to keep it from overheating. Unfortunately for the G9, you'd have to find some way to keep it cool or upgrade to a video-focused camera.
@@TheNeatwork Oh ok :( thanks you!
Great Video. I have an old G2 and it has all the requirements, but won't stream to my MAC, what am I doing wrong?
How are you trying to connect it? Do you have a capture card?
@@TheNeatwork Yes, I have capture card. It works on my gorpro and video camera, but not on the G2. The HDMI cable is from the G2. It is very confusing. Thanks for the reply
@@quelltraining My pleasure!
I did some research and I can't find talk about the G2 doing clean hdmi to a capture card, only the GH2. Though I can't quite confirm, it looks like the G2's HDMI can only be used for playback. Hope this helps, sorry!
@@TheNeatwork Many thanks for your advice it is very much appreciated. Keep up the good work.
@@quelltraining Anytime 😄 hope something works out for ya
so if i need some day a stream with this cam i need to buy a capture card and all will be okay?
Yep! You could. But, unless you have one just laying around, I wouldn't recommend it for streaming. I have another video on my channel all about the best cameras to stream with 😄
@@TheNeatwork okay i see u using gh5 for streaming. i think about a7s2 cuz of FF and actually i think i dont need all of this staff that gh5 provides. becouse u cant edit a video after stream becouse its streamand u need a best picture from a sensor u can get maybe im not right
@@Yobaboba The A7SII is a fantastic camera! But, there is more to the picture from a camera than just the sensor size.
Also, streaming these days is best complimented by content on more discoverable platforms, such as RUclips, where you can and should make adjustments to the picture in post! I don't recommend anyone get a camera for "just streaming" at this point.
@@TheNeatwork ya maybe u right. ofc i need camera not only for stream but also a wildlife and hiking etc and gh5 x2 crop is a huge advantage for all of this. and double ibis real good (sony ibis not as good if its even working im not sure)
@@Yobaboba You can also purchase a speedbooster, which will allow the fitting of full-frame lenses to mitigate the crop when you aren't hiking... lots of reasons to love a GH5. But you can't go wrong with either!
Is it a 30 minute shut-off for power, or just for actually recording the footage? For example, I could use it as a webcam without ever pressing the record button, and just feeding the HDMI feed.
Correct! The 5 hour time limit is just the record time. Would make as good a webcam as the G7! Just... for twice the price
Is the 30-minute time-limit just for internally recording? Or if I stream, will it not shut off? Trying to decide if I want this or the GH5?
Hey Josh; the G9's time limit is in fact only for internally recording. It won't shut off in the middle of your stream (as long as you buy a dummy battery).
However, if you aren't interested in the additional features of the G9/GH5, like the image stabilization and 4k recording, which are useful for videography but not for streaming, there isn't much justification for the G9 or the GH5 over the G7.
And that's coming from someone who would benefit from you buying the most expensive camera from my affiliate links! 😉
Noah - NeatOntheRocks thanks. Have a G7 already. Definitely want the stabilization. Streaming is just 50 percent of what we do. But all shooting is well under 30 minutes

@@TheNeatwork DO I absolutely need a dummy battery? I ask because I have done some streams with a GH4, that have gone nearly an hour and didn't need one? It won't shut off correct, you are just saying it will run out of power?
@@joshharvey7427 I'm someone who does 24-hour streams so it's hard to think of dummy-batteries as non-essential 🤣
But yes, as long as you have enough battery life for the stream you wanna do, a battery is fine 😁
i wish i had a cool camera. oh well. C930e for me!
One day! Worth the investment.
Damn that camera is kinda fail, I would definitely go with the GH5
I wanted it to be good so badly 😭
@@TheNeatwork I know the feeling. I'm sticking with my Brio 4k till something changes my mind
@@covathetech The brio is a fantastic webcam!
Uuuugh RIP.. as you said wishful thinking
Some day, man, some day
