Good fair review. This is still a great camera in 2022, love it.
This is a great camera if you don't expect 2k technologies in a sub 1k small body: it's small, it's sturdy, it's 5 axis IBStabilized, capable street camera with an outstanding sensor, which in the end is what delivers the image: for so little money you get G9 quality pictures in a pocketable body
Hi, I have been using the GX9 with the Leica 15mm 1.7 lens since early in 2019. For my purpose, mostly NYC street photography, it is really a superb, well designed and buily street camera. In fact I shot many photos today with an umbrella over myself and the camera in lots of nasty rain. Lots of fun, but of course i was whiping the lens often from the water. I need to place tape on the lens 15mm Leica lens to keep the lens f stop ring from moving, but that is something I have grown to watch and get used to. Since a I am a deicated micro 4/3rds Lumix photographer, I have many if the lenses. I think the GX9 is a top notch street camera. Thank you for your review, it was great to view. Bravo
Joel Kleiner for me, its not only superb for street photography, but its superb for professional photography too!
Nice name “Joel”.😉
I shoot in NYC too. GX9 and G9 mostly, sometimes Z6ii.
I actually love this camera to the point that I am thinking to ditch my fuji gear all together.
I have a Fuji XE3 and tried the GX9 at the shop and was thoroughly impressed. I probably would have bought the Panasonic in retrospect since I don't shoot in low light all that often, but it irritates me they use a field-sequential EVF... I understand dropping the weather-sealing to save cost, but don't skimp on the damn viewfinder!
Do you finally switch to GX9? because i'm thinking the same.. i use Fuji XT20 now, and been eyeing GX9 for a while now..
Amazing Video, Keep up the good work!
Love it! Haven't played with it yet and well.. I am still an Olympus guy :) Like that lens though!
Great review and photos as always. Welcome to Canada! Vancouver, rain, sounds about right....
Lyndon Smith yeah that first day was pretty rough rain-wise. I did ok the other days though.
I've been using it for wildlife photography fir 2 years with great results, but now im moving to tge g9 because of everything mentioned in this now old video.
Another very nice video! Thank you, Regards
I love that camera 😊
Very nice video - thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thanks for all the great info, you got some awesome photos there.
i have it. if you prefer zoom lenses (like me), i would skip the kit lens and give some more money for 12-35 f/2.8. the 5.6 in the video is way too slow. the camera needs these 2 stops of additional light. or at least the 1 from 12-60, leica version. it can fit in a jacket pocket with the 12-35, would not fit in any pocket with the 12-60. the IQ is very good, with normal limitation of the m4/3 sensor. the only real downsides I see are 1) the small, fiddly buttons and back control wheel and 2) no fully articulating screen. if you have bigger hands, you can find the controls annoying. and the flippy screens are way better, because give the option to compose vertically and from the side. but there is no such thing as perfect camera. i generally recommend this one. it's a modern gadget, full of tricks, the pictures and video are very good and the price is reasonable.
Nice and interesting test. I have the Gx9 with the leica zoom 12-60. The lens is great but the camera is a mixed bag from old and New componants. Good screen, a very plain viewfinder but finally a good image quality. I'll mayby Come back to the G80 for his reflex form and his weather protection, even with his 16mp sensor.
I am waiting for the best camera coming out in 10 years !
Hopefully the 'baby G9' you wanted will be called the G90 (or G95), and i know i want it to be a ting too ;)
The gx85 is the gx7 mark ii
yup, realized my error when i was editing it, that's why i added the subtitle that its actually the mark III
i liked seeing this movie. keep going 😀
Nice as always. Hope your beer and shoot is coming back. Really looking forward to em5iii. What are you looking for in a successor of the em5 mark 2?maybe you can make a video about your hopes about this camera. Have a nice one
Daniel Haschar yeah not a bad idea for a video Daniel. Keep you posted!
👏🏻 Great video! ✔️
Hermosura de cámara ❤
Thank you for the review! I love it. Let me ask you if the shots are pure or photoshopped/Lightroom? Thank you
shots have been touched in lightroom, but no photoshop.
@@TheCameraProject didi you shown original shots maybe on your website? I'm beetwen Gx9 and X-T100 Fuji. Thank you sir
@@posceve No, we don't have them up there, and it's been a bit too long for me to find them super easily. They've been archived onto a backup drive for a while now.
TheCameraProject No problem, thank you for the effort! Good job 👏
Does the viewfinder too small that you have to pan around to see the corners? Does Leica CL viewfinder bigger?
Is it worth the money over a used gx85?
Nice to see Vincent van Gogh doing camera reviews.
we all need to evolve our mediums over time. I was sick of painting.
looks good, only thing stopping me at this stage is the viewfinder specs, but will have a look into it when I get a chance.. how do you find it?
OnCam31 it’s ok. Not the best. The 16x9 aspect ratio doesn’t make sense for a still focused camera so it feels a bit small.
Weather sealing and pro feeling on the gx8 the gx9 is a expensive g85 with 20mp
Good review, you have taken a lot of effort. The camera unfortunately is a disappointment for me. The grip, the EVF and tilting screen are all half-hearted efforts. The grip is not sufficient, the EVF is small and the screen does not tilt fully. What's the point of having an EVF and a half-tilting screen? I would love to have a grip like G80. That camera feels solid in the hand. I wish Panasonic release that with a G9 sensor. The G9 body is too big for me if I am looking for a micro 4/3 camera..
If the camera was cheap it may have been worth looking at for me. But in Australia I can get a G85 cheaper and it over 1/3 more expensive than the GX85.
If only they had used the G85 EVF, for the price point the EVF being used is no good, to me anyway.
Also leaving off the remote release socket is a bummer. I hate using my phone as Apple always pops up a message while trying to use the phone.
I would buy the GX85 instead.
What song is this @ 4:04? Where can I find it? Nice Review :)
gx9 or gx8??? or... sony a...??
How long battery is working, with photos and video?
hstr89 a day of casual shooting was ok but I’d definitely have a spare.
Fujifilm Xt-30 it's a better choice tooday?
well, they are 2 totally different systems. Meaning you are buying into different lenses, and sensor sizes, etc. etc. I'd say that yes, the xt-30 probably IS a more advanced camera as it is also newer. That said, pick the system that is right for you before you worry about the camera. What sensor size do you want? how much are the lenses? What type of stuff do you shoot? Which company's menus and buttons do you like better. It very well may be the xt-30, but the decision shouldn't just be which is a better or more advanced camera, all of these things of the system are what you need to think abuot.
@@TheCameraProject Ok thanks but you have used the two cameras with which you feel better? pansonic's software technology compensates fujifilm's hardware superiority for rendering jpg AF or AI auto setting in street photography which is better in practical use?
@@davidebartolomei4253 I haven't used the XT-30, I've used the xt-10 and some other fujis. I would say I like the panasonic menus, button and interface better. For pure image quality I'd go fuji. For AF, from what I've heard about the xt-30 it is very capable, whereas the xt-10 was just ok. If I was just picking one for street, I'd probably go with the xt-30 for the shallower DOF, and the fuji f2.0 lenses, that are nice and compact and good quality. I would however, recommend getting them in your hands because the on body controls are different and some of the mentality between the brands.
@@davidebartolomei4253 If i was buying a current panasonic for stills, in m4/3 system, it would be the g9. Autofocus for stills is pretty fantastic on that camera. The gx-9 is decent. That said, the g9 is also a few years old and could probably getting a refresh soon if corona virus doesn't postpone.
Did you shoot in Black and White mode?
i may have shot a little bit in b and w, but for the most part i shoot color and convert later. I always use raw workflow anyway.
@@TheCameraProject where do you edit your photos?I like your black and white style
@@tatyanapavlova1397 Just Adobe Lightroom. A lot of these probably started from the VSCO preset Afgha Scale 200. I don't really use that anymore. Mainly just start with the Adobe Monochrome profile and mess with contrast, blacks, highlights, etc. Nothing too crazy.
@@TheCameraProject Thanks a lot!
Alot better images on the gx9 over the the chunkier g9
Sorry, what camera was it again?
No weather seal, bummer.
Tell me which comparable camera in this range is...
what's lumix lens he using in gx9?
12-60 kit lens, not the leica one
...informative..BUT..what's with the lousy visual quality of the video...?
Shooting myself in another country I used the Sony x3000 for a lot of this review.
Olympus OMD EM5 MARK III or Panasonic GX9???
Gabriela Lamberti well the Olympus doesn’t exist yet so I can’t say but my gut says the Olympus as it will be the latest tech and not 2 or 3 year old tech like in the gx9
@@TheCameraProject
Sorry, I made a typo, I meant to write Mark II. What's your opinion?
@@gabrielalamberti5860 They aren't that far off from each other. I'd say the Panasonic will have better video and interface, the Olympus has better looks. I'd have to say the Panasonic would be my bet since the Olympus is so old. If you can wait, I would hope to see a revised EM5 in early 2019, but I don't know anything other than the rumors.
@@TheCameraProject I ended up getting the mk iii, and I own the GX9. There’s really nothing much to separate them, it just depends what aesthetics and handling you prefer. I sold the EM5iii, the build quality and fun factor of the GX9 won out. The Olympus looks and feels like cheap plastic (because it is).
@@joeltunnah Glad to hear, I've always loved the Panasonic interface, and it's been a while since I've shot one.
With some exceptions it seems the GX8 is still a better camera.
What's with the deepfakes filter?
not sure what this means?
This camera has so bad ergonomics that it is practically impossible to handle it along with Panasonic 100-400. You will constantly keep pushing buttons without meaning to push them. I find it so hard to believe that after so many cameras in the line and so much experience, Panasonic succeeded making so many wrong decisions about the location of buttons on this camera.
I also noticed that when taking burst shots with this camera it sometimes generates pictures with a stripe.
In addition, the focus switch can be easily moved by mistake, so if you suddenly loose auto-focus capabilities, this is the first place to check (that auto moved to manual).
The focus speed on this camera (at least with the 100-400) is also quite disappointing. I had a lot of focus misses. That's not what I would expect from $1,000 camera.
Not disagreeing, but I would argue that the G9 is the body to pick for that lens and that it would handle much better and auto-focus way faster as well. As for the stripe in the bursts, i would try a faster SD card, UHS-II possibly.
This camera was not designed to sport the 100-400. This does not mean it has a bad ergonomics, but a different purpose.
Péter Dégay I agree, but even without the 100-400 I think buttons could have been placed a bit better...
Guy Bashan Well, yesterday I handled a GX85 which is generally the same, and I tend to agree. Somehow it was not that nice even to hold the GX85. Well, have you ever handled a classic GF1? That camera has a near to perfect handling IMHO.
