@@MaartenHeilbron Fabulous as always. That Other menu has been a mystery to me. Thanks for demystifying it. It's dumb. I can't recall if you mentioned Open Gate. One of my favourite features. Second viewing coming up.
Thank you Maarten for this review. I unintentionally purchased this body three weeks ago at a store sponsored event. I intended to purchase a three stop ND filter. With the store and LUMIX credits the camera sold for over 40% off. Black bFriday came early. Glad I made this purchase before Trump imposes a tariff on camera gear.I couldn’t resist the purchase price. I bought the camera for less than it is selling for used. I did buy the ND filter in addition to two class II memory cards. I own the G9 and love it. The G9ii has so many video features I will never use as I only do photography. I bought the camera for the PDAF. It doesn’t disappoint. A feature I’m impressed with is the Leica monochrome. I love the L monochrome D. I don’t know which B&W setting I like more. There are so many choices on this camera. My head is spinning. I’ve set it up but don’t know yet if I’ve selected the best settings. More will be revealed. As originalimoc suggests, I’m looking forward to a GX9 update. It seems LUMIX has abandoned small body photographers. I hope for a camera with the G9ii guts in a S9 body. Wouldn’t that be glorious?

My dude! This was lovely, and you are a very interesting fellow. I'd like to keep my cynicism muffled, and just say: this is some beautiful, modern art I hope to see again. Loved this video!
I purchased an older Lumix DC-S5 full frame this month, simply because I had an anamorphic lens in L-Mount. The physical layout and many of the menu options seem to be almost identical. Does the G9 II support the multitude of anamorphic features that the full frame equivalents do? The MFT lens mount certainly provides an abundance of choice in glass, unlike the hated stepchild that is the L-Mount Alliance.
Very cool. I happen to be someone that has watched (and enjoyed) several of Paul's videos (about the Amazon LOTR series and other entertainment related videos). I appreciate his humor. Small world...funny to find him and his G9 II here. :-) Anyway, back to watching YOUR video now...
One of my favorite cameras. Especially for wildllife. M43 will always have the issues limited by the sensor size but those arent an issue if you know when and how to use the camer.
You have such great presentation skills, I would totally believe it if you claimed to have previously worked in the Television and Film industry, possibly a past CBC or TVO presenter.
I have been accused of looking like a TV presenter before - it's probably the glasses! Although I did work at TVO for a while in the previous millenium, my youtube videos are the first time I've appeared on camera - except for when I appeared on Canada AM to tell viewers which free bank calendar was best.
@@MaartenHeilbron hello you wonderful person. sorry i didnt elaborate. was typing to ensure yt recognised it in the algorithm. i always adore the info you offer tho i am a long time sony investor but love your channel no matter what you have to share you have a wonderful way of explaining things with such integrity! :)
Far too much technology to take a photo No wonder the latest and greatest are still expensive and packed with features we don't need My DSLRs still do the job!
glad to see you again
Thanks for watching this video, a pleasure to read your kind words.
Good to see you Maarten. I was just thinking about you!
Hey, thanks. It's getting harder and harder to borrow cameras to review.
Hey Maarten, As always a most excellent review. Kudos!
Always nice to read kind words from a friend, thanks for taking the time to comment.
The best camera reviewer on RUclips. Precise, no fluff, well edited.
Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Glad you found the video helpful. And that you identified my goals and intentions.
I’m going to have to watch this again.
That is a permitted use of my content. Thanks for your kind words. Or do I assume too much?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and your kind words.
Maarten, you make me happy with every video you release. Thank you for continuing to create!
That’s very kind of you to say, thanks for watching!
Always great to see you post a new review, thanks Maarten
My pleasure! I wish it was as easy to borrow a camera to review as it used to be.
My dude! This was lovely, and you are a very interesting fellow. I'd like to keep my cynicism muffled, and just say: this is some beautiful, modern art I hope to see again. Loved this video!
I'm glad you found something to enjoy, thanks for commenting.
Great walk through and review as always Maarten !

The G9M2 supports anamorphic recording and can display desqueezed on the LCD.
The reviewer I was missing!
Thanks for your kind words. Getting hard to review cameras when there are none to lend to reviewers.
Awesome video as always. Thank you so much for the great information in this video :)
Always nice to hear from viewers who enjoy my videos, thanks for commenting.
