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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
You are the best! So happy you’re here with us on for the Micro Four Thirds journey ❤🎉
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!
Literally the best review out there!
Fast becoming my favorite photography channel! Thanks
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.
A simply incredible, in depth review! Some really great footage too!
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…
Looks great! Can't wait for the Gx9ii 😊
I know right?! Take my money Lumix!!! (I really hope they make it!)
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!
Such a good vid! LOVE the look of this cam and that IBIS looked insane... 🔥😱
Excellent Review. Very helpful. Thank You!
That was a great video, loved it. Thanks.
Brilliant review of what looks to be an exceptional camera. Can't wait to get my hands on one
Yess!!A gx9ii with this ibis, autofocus and luts.The best EDC cam.
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
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!
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!
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.
Awesome review and what an impressive camera! All those video features 😱
Amazing camera!! Thanks for a look at it.
Wow. It looks huge!!
Thanks Emily!!!
Amazing review, you are a treasure. Thank you
Awesome review before we buy one! Thank you so much from California! ❤
Thank you for doing the stress test of the unlimited recording! That’s the answer I was looking for~
Love your reviews. Keep it up.
Amazing video love your excitement
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
Excellent review. Looks like a great camera overall!
You are a QUEEN of micro four thirds! Great review!
Thanks Pav! Your video is fab! 🙏
Yes 🙌 de Lumix G9ii 🎉
Amazing channel. Instantly subscribed!
Looks great
The camera that all m43 users were waiting for. WOW finally great auto focus
The af has impressed me SO much!
💯🔥great video!
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!
Great review. I’m digging colors coming from camera as well.
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.
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.
Great video. Your focussing demo tells the story well that the G9ii is quite fast at locking onto a focus.
nice review maam! Subscribed!!!
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
Buying right now 🎉
Yassssss! 💪💪💪💪💪
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.
Yep I will be ordering mine I think 🙂 great video as always, so thank you 😊
🙏🙏
❤ Wonderfull, I want one!
Let's hope for a gx9 markii!!
I'll probably pre-order at launch. 👍
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!
SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER EXCITED
OMG you completely sold me.
THIS is now my dream camera. (Unless there’s a GX9II!!!!)
Awesome!
ohh yess!!! Vlog and unlimited recording!! that camera is a beast!
Yeah, that's a pretty compelling opinion! Compact body and I would be all in, definitely on the shortlist though!
A GX9 II would be great! Nice video.
Yeah I need one.
I have to look no further!!! Great video 💯
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!
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!
Looks amazing. I'd miss the mode switch on the front but sure i'd forget once using the improved AF.
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 only thing horrible about this is that I DON'T HAVE MONEY to buy it. 😂
I love my small Gx9 and my GH5 is just epic. Maybe one day. 🎉
Great overview. Loved the heat stress test. Great results for having no fan.
I thought so too! And it was a VERY tough test - the digital thermometer showed 36 degrees C at one point 😅
Agree about the price, not digging that deep. I'll stick to my gx8 (love this), gx9 and G90. In a few years when g9 ii are used and much reduced in price I may rethink. In the meantime the hype does nothing for me.
@@philneath2965 Exactly! In a few years 2nd hand it would be a bargain.
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!
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.
welcome to Kenya am sure you will love this place
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!
GX9 Mk2, I'd be up for that!
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.
Fantastic review Emily. Really enjoyed it. Does it still have the focus stacking/post focus feature and "red mode"?
It looks fabulous and plenty of bang for the bucks. The only thing I could hold against it is the size. It looks huge.
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 😁
“A super cool baby”😂 great super informational review. It’s actually more of the camera for me than the S5II.
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!
I’m currently using a GH5 for video. I’m officially jealous of the af on the g9ii🤯
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.
WAITING FOR GX9ii :)
Hope so then I can buy a GX9 at a decent price. The stupid gold rush on the Fuji X100V is pushing up the price of the GX9 because TH-camrs have positioned it as a great alternative to the Fujui. GX9 selling for more than it's original retail ($800 for the body only). It's crazy that a GX9 is just under $800 used and a G85 which has similar specs is around $450. I think I will get a G85 as my main camera and keep my GX85 for street and travel.
It looks very promising for m43, hope to see it in more compact GX body!
I don't even need the video functions but, just like the G9, I WANT this camera!
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is the best bang for the buck for a hybrid camera in 2023. Looking forward to trying it out.
This is for those who love to say, "M4/3 is dead." Clearly Panasonic doesn't think so, because the R&D costs for the G9ii are very high and Panasonic wouldn't waste the money on a "dead" Format. This suggests that other new and improved models are coming out in the next year.
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,i need also a G9 MK 2 in a smaler Body with integrated ND Filter for traveling.
Come on @Panasonic get this sensor on a GX body! I've been holding off on buying on Olympus OMD EM-5 MkIII for years because I want to stay with Panasonic! My GX-85 needs to upgraded badly. 😂
Another fantastic review! ❤️
Wow I thought this was just a rumour .. looks incredible
