Saw some things in the S9 that I liked, so I purchased it. It's been super fun shooting with it so far, been getting great results. Looking forward to seeing what updates they give to it.
@@Tech_Stuff_and_Other_Stuff I've been using the 50mm 1.8 exclusively so far, but I recently ordered the Sigma 45mm 2.8 for it. The lens is coming from Japan but, should be here in a few days. Definitely gonna put it thru it's paces w/ the 45mm also.
100% agree - They should've gone for a MFT camera like a GX9 II (with a better grip than it's predecessor, the PD AF from the G9II, etc.) for this kind of vlogger style camera - what were they thinking to present such a small FF body to use with huge lenses? This thing is pointless..
Well if they'll just replace an MFT sensor in the S9 body without evf, flip up screen, mech shutter and without hot shoe, and call it Gx9ii, it will really suck.
and that goddamn cold shoe! What are they thinking? When was the last time you saw a cold shoe in a modern camera? What worries me are all those influencers that talk about it like it's a great camera and hiding it's problems
This whole incident let us all see what's going un behind the youtube influencer curtain... I've been burned at least 2 times by reviewers I trusted so yeah... that's the world we live in...
@@8739paulstep7 the people they are targeting aren't idiots either, they got options such as the zv-e1, zv-e10, a7cii, a6700, fx30, dji pocket 3, x-s20, really an abundance of choices that don't shortchange them
I'd take the S5 over the x100v every time. I think that you are exaggerating.I meant the S9 because I shoot videos over photos. I have the S5ii and a S5. It’s 1,499 in the US which is a little bit high but I’m going to get it because I know what I want to use it for. I respect your opinion but I will have to disagree.
a camera with phase auto focus and the talk about an f8 manual lense. ergonomics are that bad they had to give a smallrig grip to the influencers, and noone mentioned the extra cost of this. This release showed how bad everything is and how none of these youtubers can be trusted. i bet very few of them would have bought it with their own money. all we heard was - its fun, its got colours lol These youtubers are pissing in our face and telling us its rain. Then lets talk about the long term loan scheme - its a way for "youtubers" to evade taxes as its technically not a gift. Lumix helping youtubers commit tax fraud ? crazy
@@Tech_Stuff_and_Other_Stuff the loan scheme is a massive tax free sweetener for influencers and could lead to a less than objective commentary. it needs to be talked about more as lumix is enabling it. How many long term loaners are actually recalled?

Glad to hear you like it, what lens are you using it with?

Absolutely!

S9 same price as A7Cii and ZVE1 in Australia
That is crazy, Sony is the value proposition now 🤣😱😂
All the RUclips hate is really making me want this camera!!! Everyone’s an expert lol
Maybe it's because there's plenty to not like about it. But if you don't mind all the drawbacks, then go for it.
@@Tech_Stuff_and_Other_Stuff I don’t mind your drawbacks

The people they are targeting aren't people who use flash as it doesn't have a mechanical shutter anyway.

I never used a hotshoe on my cameras. Not really a problem with a lot of people !!
half price six month later

S5? Of course I agree, S9=never
I'd take the x100vi over the S9 every day though, S5 is a completely different story though.
lol
More like Lolmix 😅

I wouldn't go as far to accuse them of tax fraud but it has definitely changed the way I'll be taking in information on any camera in the future...

I'm sure they kill babies too, those evil youtubers :p
