Love the video! I'm debating the s9 and s5ii for my first "real camera" and I feel like I'm probably making the decision muuuuch harder than it needs to be lol 😅
@@lfcruzsierra yeah, I’ve heard that. My camera came with the smallrig. Hasn’t been bad by any means. How does the SIRUI one compare to the grip size on the S5ii?
The fact that it looks like a Leica, alone might convince me. lol Did you say this is your new B Cam? Also, that Lumix lab app!?! I did not realize it was compatible with the 5iix; siiiick! I've been looking for a B cam...great vid Preston, thank you!
@@c4changechampion it’s pretty! lol Yeah, I’m using it for my edc camera as well as b-cam being the record limit was removed. Same image, smaller body!
Great assessment. Thanks. … How do you think it would be to use back screen to manually focus vintage or anamorphic lenses? Is it bright enough, clear enough? In the focus peaking good?
Does the smallrig cage allow you to mount the S9 vertically on a tripod, there is another cage designed for the S9 but it doesn't have a screw for vertical mounting
This grip doesn't. Only has the Arca Swiss base on the bottom. Smallrig does make a full cage for the S9 where you could attach a baseplate to the side.
The best Camera for Content creators is the Fujifilm X-M5, for near half the price you get better features, true Film Simulations. Headphone and Mic Jack, Hot shoe, Flash Compatibility and a massive host of small portable lenses. All for $799! The S9 is a joke at $1500 msrp 😂
@@markr041 Two words: Lens Stabilization Almost every Fuji lens is stabilized negating the need for internal stabilization in most scenarios. But remember I listed a medley of reasons while you guys laser focused on one while ignoring all the others. Seems a little bit biased don't you think 🤔

@@prestonurvina Lol comparing two entirely different technologies lol. Gas vs Electric. We are comparing Camera to camera and in this case. Its like having a car with a stereo and windshield wipers while the other one doesn't. You should work on better analogies because that previous one ain't it 😂
What camera are you currently creating with? What features do you find most useful in the Lumix S9?
Great video mate! Digging the Lumix content! Also YES haha I made it into the video😂5:04
Appreciate it! We'll have to actually get you in one in the future 😂
@@prestonurvina Ha! Sure just let me know when!

Thanks 🤙🏼
I do it all the time when buying! lol
Better to do the research and be comfortable in your purchase!
Keep the videos coming!
Yessir! Appreciate you coming through🤙🏼
Loving my S9! Use mine all the time 🫡 great video !!
Such a fun camera!
Good video - fully agree to all points
And off topic: great voice and awesome mixing (the monitor speakers might reveal a pro as well)
Love this. New subscriber here. Ill get this camera
@@jayc00ler thanks for the sub 🫡🤙🏼
Love my S9! Try the SIRUI grip, it's a serious step up from the Small Rig one!
@@lfcruzsierra yeah, I’ve heard that. My camera came with the smallrig. Hasn’t been bad by any means.
How does the SIRUI one compare to the grip size on the S5ii?
@@prestonurvina Fairly similar in style and texture but ir It adds that extra space to curve your fingers and really grab the camera.
Might have to check it out!
The not having an EVF but with S5iix-ish features is why I want this.. It's like a semi updated Sigma FP
Haven’t used the FP. How do you like it?

Definitely tougher than having the evf. It’s solid, but I wouldn’t if that was my main kit.

Ok LUMIX gang 😅
😂 you already know!
bruh the grip on that thing doesn't even exist lol. Even with that cage on its a tiny grip, im sure its still a great camera in its own way
It’s small, but surprisingly pretty comfortable
No way. No viewfinder, no control! Not even an auxiliary evf possiblity.

It’s a better budget option for sure. If you want to give up full-frame for APS-C, and not have ibis. Those are huge for me.
It does not IBIS, right? So no handheld video. The internal stabilization of the S9 is the best of any camera (except the bigger 5's).
@markr041 yeah, the XM5 has some digital stabilization. In my opinion LUMIX has the best ibis in the game
@@prestonurvina Exactly. and let's remind everyone that digital stabilization crops and lowers resolution. IBIS does neither.

It’s a video camera not a camera. It just happens to some photos but it’s not a real camera.
How exactly is this not a real camera?
POV: You have no clue and want to write a comment. 😂😂😂
