G9 is such an underrated camera, it features so much then most cameras and no one talks about it. I think people critique the G9 for its sensor size, it’s honestly my favorite camera I’ve ever had
Yeah, I love it too! As well as filming weddings, I love to take family photos and the G9 works a treat! The autofocus and continuous burst modes are incredible for photography.
It's an incredible camera at an amazing price...it's a real pleasure to use! Saludos a Costa del Sol. Hablo un poco de español porque mi esposa es Colombiana! He pensado aveces si estaría util hacer algunos videos en español también? Mas trabajo para mi pero quizás vale la pena para algunas video populares. Que tipos de videos sueles crear?

Great review :) What amazes me is that you care so much about responding to almost every comment while others often don't. You deserve much respect for that. Although I'm not a wedding guy neither a Lumix user, I watched your content with pleasure. Cheers:)
Thanks my friend...that's really kind of you to say and means a lot to me! I'm lucky to have an amazing group of subscribers and love interacting with everyone here in the comments section :)
This video renews my faith in m43 a little. I've been using my little GX85 and other Lumix variants for years. I LITERALLY JUST SECONDS AGO cancelled my order for the new S5.. because I can't see investing in Leica mount and buying new glass for a cam that sucks in the AF department. The G9 is an EFFING monster deal right now. So, it's either that or Fuji X-T4. Thanks for helping me feel a bit better. This was a solid vid and I looks like you do great wedding work!
Cheers man...that's very kind of you! Yeah, the G9 is legendary, especially if you're a hybrid shooter. Apart from in REALLY low light, I still think you can get some amazing results on m43, especially when using prime lenses. I just looked at your channel and subbed...you've got some great, creative content! I think you'd be very happy with the G9 as it's the camera I always take out if I know I want to capture both photos and videos. The burst rate for photos is nuts! I usually just use it with face-detection auto-focus and the vast majority of my shots are spot on.
Sony is brilliant at wooing the vlogger review crew on TH-cam. This unfortunately means the G9 gets a lot less love than it deserves. It delivers superb 4K.
I couldn't agree more! The G9, and other micro four thirds cameras in general, still have some incredible benefits compared against newer (and much more expensive alternatives) from other manufacturers. I think these are too often forgotten about!
Wedding Film Geeks In terms of feature sets, Panasonic makes the best feature set for any camera available. For me, the animation and L. Monochrome D are my favorites, but 4K Photo is also huge in expanding the usefulness of digital cameras, but these things go over the heads of many.
Great video and well put together! G9 is my main camera and I love it! I use my G85 for those longer recordings if need be but rarely use for what I do. The only thing I wish it had was the GH5 option of pre-setting focus points in camera where it completes a focus pull. I would love to have feature. That said the G9 has a newer and faster processor, slightly better auto focus and slightly better IBIS and less expensive. Both great cameras. Blessings!
Thanks Scott. The G9 is an incredible camera, especially for hybrid shooters! The ergonomics are pretty much perfect in my opinion. I forgot to mention the missing focus transition function in my review so thanks for mentioning it here to bring it to people's attention. It's a lovely feature that I'm sure Panasonic could bring over to the G9 if they wanted to. Those benefits of the G9 do make it a very sweet deal though!
Hey Jo. That sounds great! Feel free to post a link if it's available online as I'm sure lots of people (myself included) would be interested to see the results you got :)
I wish Panasonic never scrap their M43 line. It's just too good in my opinion especially for those people that love light nimbal setups. Yes it isn't full frame but my customers don't care they just want everything covered at their wedding and having a set up that doesn't leave me with aches and pains or sweating by the end of the day is more important to me than flexing my full frame lenses/camera that leaves me exhausted very quickly also potentially missing content.
Me too. Full frame camera bodies will get smaller but the lenses will never be as compact. As you say, they really are perfect for us wedding videographers!
I'm glad you enjoyed the review...it's an incredible camera! Thanks for subbing too. Check out the channel as I've got tons of lens and gear reviews and interviews you might find helpful :)
I love my G9. I just recently made a video about how I'd probably rent the a7s3 for weddings. But your stuff looks great. Maybe I'll just stick with my G9!
Hey Dave. Thanks for the kind comment. Yeah, it's such as amazing camera, especially when paired with nice lenses! The A7Siii sounds amazing but I'm happy to stay put with Panasonic for the foreseeable future. I've just subbed to your channel so I'm planning to check out your videos in the coming week! Almost at 10K 😀!!!
In the day of many people yell that M43 is bad system, so good to see some people talking good about them. I belief every system had their own strength. I prefer RF Style body so I still using my GX8 for both travel (yeah, before this pandemic) and work (most is timelapse and not so intense video work as a non professional), G9 is a little too big for my preference but if I get excellent deal I'm not hersitate to get one............and still hope for new full feature RF style from lumix too.
Thanks Ittiphon! I agree...M43 offers incredible value for money as well as amazing features! Another benefit that people often overlook is their rock-solid reliability. I've filmed 2.5 hour wedding ceremonies in 4K and never once had overheating problems! What's the point offering 4K full frame if your camera shuts down halfway through a couple's wedding?!
This just popped back in my feed today, and had to have another peek. The 65% zebras has been a great tip I took from watching this a few mos ago. Hope all is well in the UK!
Haha, I'm glad TH-cam is promoting my videos well! So glad you found the tip helpful. I think nailing skin tones is crucial in capturing nice footage. Thanks for the nice message. We've had a difficult start to the year, but things are looking up now. Hoping to get some new content on the channel very soon after such a long break. Hope you and your close ones are well!
Every thing you said is true except low light in interior video shots during weddings. I have G85 with Olympus 45 mm f1.8. I don't dare to take it out for interior video shots. For interiors I usually have Nikor 35 mm f1.8 or Tokina 11-16 mm f2.8 with my D3300. The only problem with both G85 and D3300 is the auto focus in dynamic shots. For the videographer that's most stressful, and most of the auto tracking on both cameras in low light is unusable. Strangely, that's a firmware issue but both Nikon nor Panasonic don't care.
A simple workaround the 30 minute recording time limit is to simply press pause during dead air when no one is speaking during a ceremony. There always are such moments, especially during Catholic ceremonies.
Thanks Maneesha. I've never really used it for vlogging. The autofocus capabilities of Lumix cameras in general are not the best to be honest. I vlogged with the GH5 in the past and was over the moon with the video quality but I was using manual focus the whole time.
@@CameraGeeks do you use manual lens or are they focus by wire? If they are focus by wire, how do you do it because apparently its not reliable. Also would you recommend/would someone need to speed boost to an ef lens line (300 viltrox booster) and also last thing what nd filter do you use?
As always great content. I did consider the G9 a while back but couldn't be doing with that time limitation - decided on GH5/GH5/GH5S combo instead. Looks like a decent camera though!
Cheers Mitchelson Film :). Yeah, the recording limit is the only real downside. However, I think as long as you had one 'safety camera' without record limits, you'd be fine. The lumix G90/G95 (cheapest model without limits) combined with this camera would be perfect for somebody wanting great value for money!
hi !i like very much the grade that you did especially at the couple 1.57 .I have g9 and i would like to ask you if you remember what picture profile did you use.
Cheers for the compliment. It would have been a tweaked version on the natural profile. If you check out my Lumix g9 settings video, you'll be able to see the exact configuration. Hope that helps!
This is a very solid video! Subscribed. May I also make a question ? I hope you can enlighten me. I am considering buying a camera that I will mostly use for videos (sometimes pictures too). I want to record the space in front of me while I walk (with a gimbal) and I will shoot in woods and nature literally following a path and filming. What is a good choice for me ? Body + Lenses ? budget around 1000 - 1200 (I can stretch but not too much) roof is around 1500. I really hope you can let me know as I am kinda lost. Cheers.
Thanks for the nice comment. The G9 would be a great choice for that, as you could shoot 4K60. Otherwise an older camera like the G80 - geni.us/6ZenT - would be a lot cheaper and would still shoot 4K but if you wanted slow-mo, you'd need to drop to HD. In terms of lenses, I would go for the Leica 15mm f1.7 - geni.us/ZbyGAa. It's not a zoom but the fast aperture means you could get great results even if shooting in a dark, shaded area. You'd also need to factor in a cheap gimbal if you wanted smooth shots as you walk. The Ronin SC or any similar gimbal would be a great choice. I hope that helps! Ben :)
Thank you very much...I'm glad you enjoyed it! If you decide to buy the camera from Amazon, please consider using the link beneath my video as I'll get a small commission at no extra cost to yourself ;)
I like how you're using the Olympus Pro primes. I've been using Voigtlander primes for several years, but with the G9, I finally feel like autofocus is reliable enough (GH3 and GH4 were pretty awful).
Thanks @Trini-Media. Good point about the V-Log upgrade now being available, just like on the GH5. We don't tend to use V-Log ourselves but if you want to squeeze as much dynamic range out of the camera as possible, the option to add V-Log makes the camera even better!
Great introduction to the G9. I love my Fuji XT 2 for stills, but for video this seems absolutely brilliant with ibis and 4K @ 60fps.....and my daughter is getting married at the end of July (hopefully there’ll be no more restrictions) so this may be my perfect camera. Thank you 👍 and subscribed
Hey Deb. Thanks for your kind words and the sub too! I totally agree that the G9 is a wonderful camera that's fantastic for filming weddings. Congratulations to your daughter and I hope you all have a lovely day together! I'm sure you'll capture some beautiful moments.
not too many are aware if it's not vlogL, it's 10 stops or less of dynamic range for video. The G9 maybe built nice with features but the DR is pretty weak.
Thanks for this video. I got couple on my channel but I'm still struggle with lot of material out of focus. I understand that you use manual focus. What when the subject is moving quickly? Do you switch to autofocus? What aperture you mostly use for such scenes? Thank you! I use Leica 12-60mm and Sigma 16mm f1.4
You're very welcome. When the subject is moving quickly, here are a couple of options to help. If there is plenty of light, shoot with a deep depth of field (high aperture number) to keep as much of the frame in focus as possible. It won't look mega cinematic but at least your subject will be sharper. If you are shooting in low light or need a shallow depth-of-field, I would try to maintain the distance between yourself and the subject. This may involve filming from the side, so they move across the screen, rather than towards you. Or, it could involve moving yourself...so walking backwards as they walk towards you. I just looked at your videos and it looks like you're doing a great job already to be honest! Just keep practicing and you'll continue to keep getting better. Ben :)
Looking for a b-roll camera with unlimited recording, it's of course the GH5, but also the G90/91/95. But note that that camera has some limitations compared to G9 and GH5. Or you might find the GH4R second hand, which also has V-Log L (but no IBIS).
Great suggestions Hauke! The G90/91/95 is a real steal at it's low price! For weddings the only drawbacks are only having a single card slot and no 4K60. Apart from those two limitations, it's a fantastic choice though!
Great review! Any chance you can record in-camera and output to an external monitor at the same time? I learned the hard way that the G7 can't do that lol. I can't really seem to find an answer anywhere.
Hey Brawndo. I'm pretty sure you can but unfortunately I don't have my G9 anymore to test for sure. (There was nothing wrong with it but I sold it to purchase a Lumix S5). Might be worth visiting a local camera shop and see if they could test it for you?
Is autofocus now reliable enough for tracking shots? I know that Panasonic tends to hunt a lot, has that been fixed? I'm trying to upgrade from a Canon 200D/SL2. Currently my main considerations are a6400, G9, EOS M6mk II, XT4 but it's so hard to find the perfect camera. The M6MkII would be the cheapest upgrade since I can just buy an adapter to use my EF lenses seamlessly. The G9 has got the best bit depth and bit rates, but I'm still super worried about autofocus. I have to do sports events as well, so I need the tracking to lock on to faces without any wobbling or hunting. The a6400 would have the best autofocus, but battery life is also world class in dying fast. However, it would be advantageous as I intend to get full frame E-mount in future, so I could slowly build my lenses. The XT4 has overheating issues apparently and EF adapters have mixed results it seems. All I want is for Panasonic to use PDAF or Hybrid AF. No idea why they're so stubborn even after so many generations of M43 cameras. Olympus video codecs are too weak of an upgrade to justify spending the money, and their pro lenses are too cost inefficient for me sadly.
Hey dude! I just gave up trying to use video autofocus on MFT cameras a long time ago for anything with any shallow depth of field. If you need fast AF for sports, I would AVOID any MFT cameras until they improve things considerably. It's not such a big deal to me as my style of shooting lends itself well to manual focusing. I couldn't agree more with you about Panasonic needing to address this issue though and switch to a more effective AF system!
Not sure what currency we are talking here but if it's dollars, pounds or euros, it seems a little on the high side to me. I bought mine second-hand for around £720 last year from a shop. Have a check on eBay for local sellers and click the 'sold' option to see what the average price in your area is.
Hi, i have the G7 and i'm shooting video clips with it for a few years now, i want to upgrade my camera and i was thinking of the G9.autofocous is very important cause i shoot with a gimbal most of the time and there for i'm not sure about the G9 although they made an update.what do you think about the last update? Is the camera good enough for auotofocous now? Or whice other camera would you recommand even in a bit of a higher price? Thanks, great vid 🙂
So, if you were coming from a Panasonic Lumix g7 like I am, would you suggest this or the full frame s5 as your next step up camera? I shoot 70/30 or maybe 60/40 video to photo ratio. I can get a G9 or GH5 on the cheaper side ($800) or get the s5 for around $1650.
Hey Justin. Both cameras would be a huge upgrade. Based on you shooting mainly video I would go with the S5! Having the full frame look and MUCH better low light performance is a huge benefit in my opinion.
Are you using the G9 to record yourself in the youtube video? I ask because you have one in your hand so maybe you have 2? I was wondering which lens I should purchase and if there's any key differences between the two because they are both priced at $150 on amazon. Panasonic LUMIX G VARIO 45-150mm F4.0-5.6 ASPH Panasonic Lumix G Lens, 25mm, F1.7 ASPH Also do you think it's worth buying the panasonic lumix g 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 lens that comes with the starter kit? It costs $1600 total while the camera g9 by itself is $1000 so an extra $600 for that lens. Or perhaps a way better lens could be bought if I spend a little more? Not sure if spending $1500+ would have better value on a better camera but I hear a lot of great things about this one for videos
@@CameraGeeks I was almost sold on the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III until I saw a comparison video with the G9 and they said the G9 gives better video quality so it's reassuring that this can compete so well against a $1500 camera. I wanted to use it as a webcam for live streaming while being able to take good looking videos and photos in lowlight settings since lower aperture seems like one of the most important and biggest factor for cost in a lens? Is there a lens that does well for both landscape and portrait? It'd be nice to take awesome shots of nature and places while traveling + taking good pictures/video of people and my figure collection
Hi Widar. You're very welcome. I shoot slow mo at 50p so I would need 1/100. If you were shooting 60p, you would be 1/120. You basically have to take your frame rate value and double it. If the exact value is not available, choose the closest number. Hope that helps!
Hello my friend, thank you for your wonderful tips on using the Panasonic G9. I am learning to use my G9 and would like to know how to seemlessly switch from normal speed to slow mo and back again without using separate clips, do you do this in post or is there a way to do it whilst filming on the G9?
Thanks Mike. I'm glad you enjoyed them! If you search TH-cam for the process of "speedramping" you'll find lots of useful information. The basic principle is to shoot in slow motion (I usually use the 120/180 fps mode) and then when you are in the edit, you can choose which bits you want to be slow and which bits should be normal speed. The software will smooth out the changes in speed to make it all look slick! It's a great process to play around with so have fun!
I'm considering this camera vs the new Canon r10 specifically for the 422 10 bit video. Would you go personally with this 4 year old lumix or the new Canon r10 for video? I'm so torn 😆
Hey @Vitaliy Zavadskyy. The regular battery would definitely not last that long but I imagine you'll encounter this problem with most cameras out there. I'd predict that it would last 1.5-2 hours. However, you still have two options. Firstly, you could buy a dummy battery adapter that has a fake battery on one end and a wall plug on the other end. I'm not sure how safe/reliable these are so definitely do your homework first. Secondly, you could power your camera via a USB power brick connected via the USB-C port. However, I think there are limitations with this method and getting 8 hours would be almost impossible so the fake battery option might be better. You'd just have to read lots of reviews and get a reliable one.
I just recently found out about this camera while shopping around for cinema cameras on a hobo budget. When paired with an Atomos, are we able to match or surpass the GH5 (with or without external recording)? The main issue I see with the G9 is the limited bitrate and compression scheme, which tends to yield jumpy artifacts in scenes with a decent amount of movement. In theory it all looks promising. What's the reality of the situation? Does the Atomos truly supercharge the G9 or are we still dealing with other flaws in the hardware/software processing pipeling such as debayering which further restrict the benefits of an external recorder's promises? Most of the footage I've seen of this camera is either slow-mo and "cinematic" or borderline shots of trees and leaves with the occasional bird dropping in. Follow-up question: how would the G9 paired with an Atomos stack up against an S5 (with/without Atomos) if we're stricly looking at it from an image quality standpoint and discarding the whole full-frame vs MFT aspect of it all (the S5 has a higher rolling shutter in full-frame mode unless you crop to S35). Thanks for reading my most confusing and random comment!
How do you record the first dance? Or any dance really with a bit of blurred background? Do you still use manual focus for this purpose, and what do you do to get the best results?
Hey Lucasz. If there is enough light, we normally film at 4k50p so we can slow it down in the edit. In terms of focusing, I normally use manual focusing and just adjust it as they dance. It's normally a slow dance so easy to do. To get the background nice and blurred, we just film with the aperture wide open and this makes the image as bright as it can be and the background blurry. Hope that helps! Ben
Hello, I was watching other videographers here on TH-cam say that this Panasonic G9 camera's autofocus is horrible. I would like to buy this camera to work with events and also to do vlogs, and I need the camera to have good autofocus. Do you work with this camera? What's your opinion?
Hi Marc. I'm not sure I'm afraid as I never used it for Live-streaming. I wouldn't have thought so but I can't say 100% as I no longer have the camera.
Hey Malik. Thanks for your kind comments! I grade with the natural profile and just apply a subtle colour grade. If you find my G9 settings video you can find out about the colour profile I set in the camera and then in editing I just apply a colour curve to increase contrast slightly. In terms of the ND filter, I use different ones depending on the lens. The Gobe ones are great but the one I used most in this video, on all of the Olympus 25mm 1.2 shots, was this one...geni.us/pdDg
Hey Malik. Your very welcome! You just need to check the diameter of your lens in mm (normally written on the front of the lens) and see if they sell it in that diameter. If not, see if Gobe sell one the right size.
Regarding the iso 1600, it's actually grainier than at iso 2000. There's something about the 1600 iso that's weird. But yeah, instead of going to 1600, go to 2000 or 1250.
You're welcome Pedroh! I stitched to the S5 but I still use the G9 in my other job and it's still my favourite camera body in terms of how comfortable it is to hold and use!
Yes, 30 minutes per clip...nothing connected to overheating. It's only really a consideration for people who need to shoot really long shots like weddings or events.
I was planning on purchasing the G9 from a friend. My question is if I use a external monitor/recorder, can I bypass the 30 minute record time limit? Also what zoom lense/lenses do you recommend for filming concerts and wedding events?
Hey Johny. I see Roman has already answered your question about recording limits. In terms of zoom lenses, the Sigma 18-35mm with speed booster is hard to beat, as long as you don't mind the heavy weight...th-cam.com/video/SWgyhwD9PH8/w-d-xo.html. It's aperture goes down to 1.2 with the equivalent of a 25-50mm focal range, so it capture creamy bokeh and performs well in low light. If you want a slightly lighter, native lens and have a ton of money to spend, then check out the Leica 10-25. For a longer length zoom lens, the Lumix 35-100 is pretty amazing but the aperture is 2.8, so there's a little less bokeh and it struggles when things get really dark...th-cam.com/video/mJIj6H_G_EY/w-d-xo.html. Hope that helps, Ben :)
Hey Amit. Best advice for any system is to do a custom white balance using a grey card. I use the Manfrotto Ezybalance Card. If you want even more control and accuracy, look into the "colorchecker passport video". It costs more but gives you excellent control.
I have the feeling that G9 can make better videos then G5, why? Bc I fell that G9 sounds a cinema camera, G9 has some different quality images that sounds better with color and smooth images, also better stabilization and AF. And I tripping? Btw... I am confused about which one should I get, I want do 60-40 (vídeo-photo). GH5 or G9, maybe I am getting G9🤔 I don't know. I'm not saying GH5 is a bad camera I just think G9 even isn't focused on vídeos has a different, I wanna get one of those so bad but I am very confused 😅😂🤣
G85H camera model i already have 14-140mm Professional youtube purpose Sometime wedding Indoor shoot Outdoor shoot Low light Sun light All type G85 best professional lens give some idea but low budget lens also ok i will try it
Your current zoom lens has incredible range going from wide to telephoto but it's main limitation is its variable aperture; f3.5-5.6. This means it won't work well in low light and it won't achieve a shallow depth-of-field (blurry background) very easily. You've listed quite a lot of different uses but I think you are looking for a wide to medium zoom with a fixed, fast aperture. My recommendation would be a the Panasonic 12-35 f/2.8. It's a wide to medium zoom and the constant f2.8 aperture means you'll get decent results in low light and a nice blurry background. If you shoot in very low light a lot, try the 25mm f/1.7. This is cheaper but is not a zoom lens, so you need to move the camera closer to the subject or further away depending on the type of shot you want. The benefit of this lens is that it's EVEN BETTER in low light and you will also get a REALLY blurry background and a very cinematic image. I hope this helps. Ben :)
Pretty much everything else is amazing, especially for photographers and hybrid shooters. If strong continuous AF performance is not high up on your list of needs as a videographer, there are a lot of other high-level features at a competitive price. I mainly work in weddings and have been shooting with manual focus for nearly five years. I've recently been using the G9's fast single-AF to hit focus on a static person/subject, and record shots quickly and easily. If you're filming video of something with fast-moving objects, like sports events, this would be an awful camera. Although for sports photography it would be amazing. Just got to compare the cameras pros and cons to your own particular needs. It ticks a lot of boxes for a lot of people.
I used the Panasonic G9 with a 12-35 2.8 mk2 And I use it for streaming and making TH-cam content honestly it's a perfect camera, I have some videos on my channel if you want to check it out Also I subscribed I enjoy the channel
I think the autofocus can be good when shooting under certain conditions...but not all. I agree that if VIDEO autofocus is an important requirement for somebody, they may be best looking at other cameras. I would point out though that Panasonic seem to be making significant improvements with their new Lumix S5 camera.
@@CameraGeeksHi, I think that with the latest firmware the G9 AF is the same as the S5 AF. Am I correct? Pls adress the AF question. Thank you, Frans/Bali
G9 is such an underrated camera, it features so much then most cameras and no one talks about it. I think people critique the G9 for its sensor size, it’s honestly my favorite camera I’ve ever had
Yeah, I love it too! As well as filming weddings, I love to take family photos and the G9 works a treat! The autofocus and continuous burst modes are incredible for photography.

Great review :) What amazes me is that you care so much about responding to almost every comment while others often don't. You deserve much respect for that. Although I'm not a wedding guy neither a Lumix user, I watched your content with pleasure. Cheers:)
Thanks my friend...that's really kind of you to say and means a lot to me! I'm lucky to have an amazing group of subscribers and love interacting with everyone here in the comments section :)
This video renews my faith in m43 a little. I've been using my little GX85 and other Lumix variants for years. I LITERALLY JUST SECONDS AGO cancelled my order for the new S5.. because I can't see investing in Leica mount and buying new glass for a cam that sucks in the AF department. The G9 is an EFFING monster deal right now. So, it's either that or Fuji X-T4. Thanks for helping me feel a bit better. This was a solid vid and I looks like you do great wedding work!
Cheers man...that's very kind of you! Yeah, the G9 is legendary, especially if you're a hybrid shooter. Apart from in REALLY low light, I still think you can get some amazing results on m43, especially when using prime lenses. I just looked at your channel and subbed...you've got some great, creative content! I think you'd be very happy with the G9 as it's the camera I always take out if I know I want to capture both photos and videos. The burst rate for photos is nuts! I usually just use it with face-detection auto-focus and the vast majority of my shots are spot on.
@@CameraGeeks thanks so much for the follow I sincerely appreciate it! I'll be doing same and look forward to more good stuff!
Sony is brilliant at wooing the vlogger review crew on TH-cam. This unfortunately means the G9 gets a lot less love than it deserves. It delivers superb 4K.
I couldn't agree more! The G9, and other micro four thirds cameras in general, still have some incredible benefits compared against newer (and much more expensive alternatives) from other manufacturers. I think these are too often forgotten about!
Wedding Film Geeks In terms of feature sets, Panasonic makes the best feature set for any camera available. For me, the animation and L. Monochrome D are my favorites, but 4K Photo is also huge in expanding the usefulness of digital cameras, but these things go over the heads of many.
what model Sony?
Great video and well put together! G9 is my main camera and I love it! I use my G85 for those longer recordings if need be but rarely use for what I do. The only thing I wish it had was the GH5 option of pre-setting focus points in camera where it completes a focus pull. I would love to have feature. That said the G9 has a newer and faster processor, slightly better auto focus and slightly better IBIS and less expensive. Both great cameras. Blessings!
Thanks Scott. The G9 is an incredible camera, especially for hybrid shooters! The ergonomics are pretty much perfect in my opinion. I forgot to mention the missing focus transition function in my review so thanks for mentioning it here to bring it to people's attention. It's a lovely feature that I'm sure Panasonic could bring over to the G9 if they wanted to. Those benefits of the G9 do make it a very sweet deal though!
I filmed an entire nature documentary with the G9. A fantastic camera, which with the 2.4 firmware got even better!
Hey Jo. That sounds great! Feel free to post a link if it's available online as I'm sure lots of people (myself included) would be interested to see the results you got :)
Hi mate, maybe you can tell which one exactly you filmed on g9? because I've looked your channel there's a plenty of nice looking documentaries.
Wow just a wonderful point of view about this awesome camera. You are a great reviewer.
Hey Danni. Thanks for your kind words! Acabo de ver tu canal y me gusta mucho! Estas haciendo un muy buen trabajo. Saludos desde Inglaterra!
I wish Panasonic never scrap their M43 line. It's just too good in my opinion especially for those people that love light nimbal setups. Yes it isn't full frame but my customers don't care they just want everything covered at their wedding and having a set up that doesn't leave me with aches and pains or sweating by the end of the day is more important to me than flexing my full frame lenses/camera that leaves me exhausted very quickly also potentially missing content.
Me too. Full frame camera bodies will get smaller but the lenses will never be as compact. As you say, they really are perfect for us wedding videographers!
Footage looks great, you definitely have skill. Very good video too thanks.
Love to watch G9 review. I have G9 and making vlog bty cant get such result need to learn more from you
I have a G9. Loved your review. I am a new subscriber
I'm glad you enjoyed the review...it's an incredible camera! Thanks for subbing too. Check out the channel as I've got tons of lens and gear reviews and interviews you might find helpful :)
@@CameraGeeks for sure I will continue to watch your videos🙏 I have a small channel too. I know what it means to grow up a channel!
I love my G9. I just recently made a video about how I'd probably rent the a7s3 for weddings. But your stuff looks great. Maybe I'll just stick with my G9!
Hey Dave. Thanks for the kind comment. Yeah, it's such as amazing camera, especially when paired with nice lenses! The A7Siii sounds amazing but I'm happy to stay put with Panasonic for the foreseeable future. I've just subbed to your channel so I'm planning to check out your videos in the coming week! Almost at 10K 😀!!!
@@CameraGeeks thanks for the sub!
In the day of many people yell that M43 is bad system, so good to see some people talking good about them. I belief every system had their own strength.
I prefer RF Style body so I still using my GX8 for both travel (yeah, before this pandemic) and work (most is timelapse and not so intense video work as a non professional), G9 is a little too big for my preference but if I get excellent deal I'm not hersitate to get one............and still hope for new full feature RF style from lumix too.
Thanks Ittiphon! I agree...M43 offers incredible value for money as well as amazing features! Another benefit that people often overlook is their rock-solid reliability. I've filmed 2.5 hour wedding ceremonies in 4K and never once had overheating problems! What's the point offering 4K full frame if your camera shuts down halfway through a couple's wedding?!
This just popped back in my feed today, and had to have another peek. The 65% zebras has been a great tip I took from watching this a few mos ago. Hope all is well in the UK!
Haha, I'm glad TH-cam is promoting my videos well! So glad you found the tip helpful. I think nailing skin tones is crucial in capturing nice footage. Thanks for the nice message. We've had a difficult start to the year, but things are looking up now. Hoping to get some new content on the channel very soon after such a long break. Hope you and your close ones are well!
Every thing you said is true except low light in interior video shots during weddings. I have G85 with Olympus 45 mm f1.8. I don't dare to take it out for interior video shots. For interiors I usually have Nikor 35 mm f1.8 or Tokina 11-16 mm f2.8 with my D3300. The only problem with both G85 and D3300 is the auto focus in dynamic shots. For the videographer that's most stressful, and most of the auto tracking on both cameras in low light is unusable. Strangely, that's a firmware issue but both Nikon nor Panasonic don't care.
A simple workaround the 30 minute recording time limit is to simply press pause during dead air when no one is speaking during a ceremony. There always are such moments, especially during Catholic ceremonies.
very good review, out of curiosity, what camera and lens combo did you film yourself with for this video?
Hi. It was a long time ago now but the camera was the gh5 and I think the lens may have been the Olympus 25mm.
nice review... can we vlog with g9 ? what about autofocus capabilities in video ?
Thanks Maneesha. I've never really used it for vlogging. The autofocus capabilities of Lumix cameras in general are not the best to be honest. I vlogged with the GH5 in the past and was over the moon with the video quality but I was using manual focus the whole time.
@@CameraGeeks do you use manual lens or are they focus by wire? If they are focus by wire, how do you do it because apparently its not reliable. Also would you recommend/would someone need to speed boost to an ef lens line (300 viltrox booster) and also last thing what nd filter do you use?
As always great content. I did consider the G9 a while back but couldn't be doing with that time limitation - decided on GH5/GH5/GH5S combo instead. Looks like a decent camera though!
Cheers Mitchelson Film :). Yeah, the recording limit is the only real downside. However, I think as long as you had one 'safety camera' without record limits, you'd be fine. The lumix G90/G95 (cheapest model without limits) combined with this camera would be perfect for somebody wanting great value for money!
Great video. When you hit the 30 minute mark, how long do you have to wait before you can shoot again?
Thanks dude. No need to wait...the limit is nothing to do with overheating. You can just press record instantly and carry on filming :)
@@CameraGeeks That's what I thought. Thanks.
hi !i like very much the grade that you did especially at the couple 1.57 .I have g9 and i would like to ask you if you remember what picture profile did you use.
Cheers for the compliment. It would have been a tweaked version on the natural profile. If you check out my Lumix g9 settings video, you'll be able to see the exact configuration. Hope that helps!
This is a very solid video! Subscribed.
May I also make a question ? I hope you can enlighten me.
I am considering buying a camera that I will mostly use for videos (sometimes pictures too).
I want to record the space in front of me while I walk (with a gimbal) and I will shoot in woods and nature literally following a path and filming.
What is a good choice for me ? Body + Lenses ? budget around 1000 - 1200 (I can stretch but not too much) roof is around 1500.
I really hope you can let me know as I am kinda lost.
Cheers.
Thanks for the nice comment. The G9 would be a great choice for that, as you could shoot 4K60. Otherwise an older camera like the G80 - geni.us/6ZenT - would be a lot cheaper and would still shoot 4K but if you wanted slow-mo, you'd need to drop to HD. In terms of lenses, I would go for the Leica 15mm f1.7 - geni.us/ZbyGAa. It's not a zoom but the fast aperture means you could get great results even if shooting in a dark, shaded area. You'd also need to factor in a cheap gimbal if you wanted smooth shots as you walk. The Ronin SC or any similar gimbal would be a great choice. I hope that helps! Ben :)
good and factual review. the G9 will be my next camera
Thank you very much...I'm glad you enjoyed it! If you decide to buy the camera from Amazon, please consider using the link beneath my video as I'll get a small commission at no extra cost to yourself ;)
I like how you're using the Olympus Pro primes. I've been using Voigtlander primes for several years, but with the G9, I finally feel like autofocus is reliable enough (GH3 and GH4 were pretty awful).
Yeah, the Olympus lenses have such gorgeous optics and bokeh!
I shoot a lot with gimbals and I was wondering, what kind of autofocus would you suggest? I'll be using primes as well. Thanks so much! Subbed!
Great video, you forgot to mention V-Log upgrade though.
Thanks @Trini-Media. Good point about the V-Log upgrade now being available, just like on the GH5. We don't tend to use V-Log ourselves but if you want to squeeze as much dynamic range out of the camera as possible, the option to add V-Log makes the camera even better!
Agreed. V-log is stunning. My favourite feature. But autofocus takes a hit. Autofocus actually works well but only at 1080 and 60fps with a good lens.
Great introduction to the G9.
I love my Fuji XT 2 for stills, but for video this seems absolutely brilliant with ibis and 4K @ 60fps.....and my daughter is getting married at the end of July (hopefully there’ll be no more restrictions) so this may be my perfect camera.
Thank you 👍 and subscribed
Hey Deb. Thanks for your kind words and the sub too! I totally agree that the G9 is a wonderful camera that's fantastic for filming weddings. Congratulations to your daughter and I hope you all have a lovely day together! I'm sure you'll capture some beautiful moments.
What lens did you use for the talking head shots? It looks wonderful.
Thanks my friend! They were all shot with the Olympus 25mm 1.2 Pro. It's a really beautiful lens!
Is it a good camera for travel and street photography?
I would say so. The autofocus performance and burst modes are extremely fast and the ergonomics are fantastic making it a pleasure to use.
Is this a good start for beginners
not too many are aware if it's not vlogL, it's 10 stops or less of dynamic range for video. The G9 maybe built nice with features but the DR is pretty weak.
Thanks for this video. I got couple on my channel but I'm still struggle with lot of material out of focus. I understand that you use manual focus. What when the subject is moving quickly? Do you switch to autofocus? What aperture you mostly use for such scenes? Thank you! I use Leica 12-60mm and Sigma 16mm f1.4
You're very welcome. When the subject is moving quickly, here are a couple of options to help. If there is plenty of light, shoot with a deep depth of field (high aperture number) to keep as much of the frame in focus as possible. It won't look mega cinematic but at least your subject will be sharper. If you are shooting in low light or need a shallow depth-of-field, I would try to maintain the distance between yourself and the subject. This may involve filming from the side, so they move across the screen, rather than towards you. Or, it could involve moving yourself...so walking backwards as they walk towards you. I just looked at your videos and it looks like you're doing a great job already to be honest! Just keep practicing and you'll continue to keep getting better. Ben :)
Looking for a b-roll camera with unlimited recording, it's of course the GH5, but also the G90/91/95. But note that that camera has some limitations compared to G9 and GH5. Or you might find the GH4R second hand, which also has V-Log L (but no IBIS).
Great suggestions Hauke! The G90/91/95 is a real steal at it's low price! For weddings the only drawbacks are only having a single card slot and no 4K60. Apart from those two limitations, it's a fantastic choice though!
Thanks for the video, I have G9 too and it's a great camera.
Glad you enjoyed it. It really is a fantastic camera in so many ways!
Great review! Any chance you can record in-camera and output to an external monitor at the same time? I learned the hard way that the G7 can't do that lol. I can't really seem to find an answer anywhere.
Hey Brawndo. I'm pretty sure you can but unfortunately I don't have my G9 anymore to test for sure. (There was nothing wrong with it but I sold it to purchase a Lumix S5). Might be worth visiting a local camera shop and see if they could test it for you?
@@CameraGeeks Gotcha. I'll keep looking in to it. Thanks for the response!
Is autofocus now reliable enough for tracking shots? I know that Panasonic tends to hunt a lot, has that been fixed?
I'm trying to upgrade from a Canon 200D/SL2. Currently my main considerations are a6400, G9, EOS M6mk II, XT4 but it's so hard to find the perfect camera.
The M6MkII would be the cheapest upgrade since I can just buy an adapter to use my EF lenses seamlessly.
The G9 has got the best bit depth and bit rates, but I'm still super worried about autofocus.
I have to do sports events as well, so I need the tracking to lock on to faces without any wobbling or hunting.
The a6400 would have the best autofocus, but battery life is also world class in dying fast.
However, it would be advantageous as I intend to get full frame E-mount in future, so I could slowly build my lenses.
The XT4 has overheating issues apparently and EF adapters have mixed results it seems.
All I want is for Panasonic to use PDAF or Hybrid AF. No idea why they're so stubborn even after so many generations of M43 cameras.
Olympus video codecs are too weak of an upgrade to justify spending the money, and their pro lenses are too cost inefficient for me sadly.
Hey dude! I just gave up trying to use video autofocus on MFT cameras a long time ago for anything with any shallow depth of field. If you need fast AF for sports, I would AVOID any MFT cameras until they improve things considerably. It's not such a big deal to me as my style of shooting lends itself well to manual focusing. I couldn't agree more with you about Panasonic needing to address this issue though and switch to a more effective AF system!
Hi what kind of photographer you are?
A friend selling me GO for a 800 just for the body and 1 battery 1.5 year of use it look good
You think is a good deal or not?
It's an "ok" deal
Not sure what currency we are talking here but if it's dollars, pounds or euros, it seems a little on the high side to me. I bought mine second-hand for around £720 last year from a shop. Have a check on eBay for local sellers and click the 'sold' option to see what the average price in your area is.
Hi, i have the G7 and i'm shooting video clips with it for a few years now, i want to upgrade my camera and i was thinking of the G9.autofocous is very important cause i shoot with a gimbal most of the time and there for i'm not sure about the G9 although they made an update.what do you think about the last update? Is the camera good enough for auotofocous now? Or whice other camera would you recommand even in a bit of a higher price? Thanks, great vid 🙂
So, if you were coming from a Panasonic Lumix g7 like I am, would you suggest this or the full frame s5 as your next step up camera? I shoot 70/30 or maybe 60/40 video to photo ratio. I can get a G9 or GH5 on the cheaper side ($800) or get the s5 for around $1650.
Hey Justin. Both cameras would be a huge upgrade. Based on you shooting mainly video I would go with the S5! Having the full frame look and MUCH better low light performance is a huge benefit in my opinion.
The G9 is a sensationally good camera.
I agree! Incredible value for money, especially for hybrid shooters!
Best review pana g9.
Cheers! Really appreciate it!
I hesitate between this, Olympus EM1 Mark III and SOny AR7III for video and photos...
Yes, a tough decision I imagine. I hope this review helps you on the way :)
Are you using the G9 to record yourself in the youtube video? I ask because you have one in your hand so maybe you have 2?
I was wondering which lens I should purchase and if there's any key differences between the two because they are both priced at $150 on amazon.
Panasonic LUMIX G VARIO 45-150mm F4.0-5.6 ASPH
Panasonic Lumix G Lens, 25mm, F1.7 ASPH
Also do you think it's worth buying the panasonic lumix g 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 lens that comes with the starter kit? It costs $1600 total while the camera g9 by itself is $1000 so an extra $600 for that lens.
Or perhaps a way better lens could be bought if I spend a little more? Not sure if spending $1500+ would have better value on a better camera but I hear a lot of great things about this one for videos
Hey JayBay. No, I actually shot this video with the GH5/GH5s. What sort of things are you looking to film with the camera and lens?
@@CameraGeeks I was almost sold on the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III until I saw a comparison video with the G9 and they said the G9 gives better video quality so it's reassuring that this can compete so well against a $1500 camera. I wanted to use it as a webcam for live streaming while being able to take good looking videos and photos in lowlight settings since lower aperture seems like one of the most important and biggest factor for cost in a lens? Is there a lens that does well for both landscape and portrait? It'd be nice to take awesome shots of nature and places while traveling + taking good pictures/video of people and my figure collection
Thank you for an informative video!!
When you shoot slomo (4K, 60p); is correct SS=120, or 50?
Hi Widar. You're very welcome. I shoot slow mo at 50p so I would need 1/100. If you were shooting 60p, you would be 1/120. You basically have to take your frame rate value and double it. If the exact value is not available, choose the closest number. Hope that helps!
@@CameraGeeks Thank you!
I love the g9! Its great a specially for its price. Btw I didn’t know and used i.s lock yet..thnx!
Yeah, it's a fantastic camera for the money. I.S. lock is a brilliant feature and definitely worth assigning to a function button for easy access.
Hello my friend, thank you for your wonderful tips on using the Panasonic G9. I am learning to use my G9 and would like to know how to seemlessly switch from normal speed to slow mo and back again without using separate clips, do you do this in post or is there a way to do it whilst filming on the G9?
Thanks Mike. I'm glad you enjoyed them! If you search TH-cam for the process of "speedramping" you'll find lots of useful information. The basic principle is to shoot in slow motion (I usually use the 120/180 fps mode) and then when you are in the edit, you can choose which bits you want to be slow and which bits should be normal speed. The software will smooth out the changes in speed to make it all look slick! It's a great process to play around with so have fun!
@@CameraGeeks thanks thats brilliant I will be trying that out very soon.
I'm considering this camera vs the new Canon r10 specifically for the 422 10 bit video. Would you go personally with this 4 year old lumix or the new Canon r10 for video? I'm so torn 😆
Did you attached any adapter to the camera to be able to use the 42mm and other lens on it ?
Hi. No the 42mm lens is a native micro four thirds lens so it just fits on directly.
colour grading and colour correction video tutorial you upload do it
Hi G.G. I've got a few other topics planned in the coming months but I'll definitely cover colour grading at some point in the future.
Ok thanks bro
Would I be able to use this camera for livestreaming for continuous 4-8 hours or is it going to turn off at a certain point?
Hey @Vitaliy Zavadskyy. The regular battery would definitely not last that long but I imagine you'll encounter this problem with most cameras out there. I'd predict that it would last 1.5-2 hours. However, you still have two options. Firstly, you could buy a dummy battery adapter that has a fake battery on one end and a wall plug on the other end. I'm not sure how safe/reliable these are so definitely do your homework first. Secondly, you could power your camera via a USB power brick connected via the USB-C port. However, I think there are limitations with this method and getting 8 hours would be almost impossible so the fake battery option might be better. You'd just have to read lots of reviews and get a reliable one.
Good review.
Glad you enjoyed it
I just recently found out about this camera while shopping around for cinema cameras on a hobo budget. When paired with an Atomos, are we able to match or surpass the GH5 (with or without external recording)? The main issue I see with the G9 is the limited bitrate and compression scheme, which tends to yield jumpy artifacts in scenes with a decent amount of movement. In theory it all looks promising. What's the reality of the situation? Does the Atomos truly supercharge the G9 or are we still dealing with other flaws in the hardware/software processing pipeling such as debayering which further restrict the benefits of an external recorder's promises? Most of the footage I've seen of this camera is either slow-mo and "cinematic" or borderline shots of trees and leaves with the occasional bird dropping in. Follow-up question: how would the G9 paired with an Atomos stack up against an S5 (with/without Atomos) if we're stricly looking at it from an image quality standpoint and discarding the whole full-frame vs MFT aspect of it all (the S5 has a higher rolling shutter in full-frame mode unless you crop to S35). Thanks for reading my most confusing and random comment!
How do you record the first dance? Or any dance really with a bit of blurred background? Do you still use manual focus for this purpose, and what do you do to get the best results?
Hey Lucasz. If there is enough light, we normally film at 4k50p so we can slow it down in the edit. In terms of focusing, I normally use manual focusing and just adjust it as they dance. It's normally a slow dance so easy to do. To get the background nice and blurred, we just film with the aperture wide open and this makes the image as bright as it can be and the background blurry. Hope that helps! Ben
Hi, does it record 4 60fps internally without time limt as the GH5 ?
Hey. I'm afraid not. There is a time limit of 29m:59s per clip with all resolution settings.
hi I shot an entire event with the g9 .... I got home to realize all the footages have date and timestamp.....how do I turn that feature off
Hello, I was watching other videographers here on TH-cam say that this Panasonic G9 camera's autofocus is horrible. I would like to buy this camera to work with events and also to do vlogs, and I need the camera to have good autofocus. Do you work with this camera? What's your opinion?
Do you know if the 30 minutes limit applies to livestreaming (using Lumix Tether) ?
Hi Marc. I'm not sure I'm afraid as I never used it for Live-streaming. I wouldn't have thought so but I can't say 100% as I no longer have the camera.
I have 2 question. 1st question have you used color correction or color grading and 2nd question which ND filter you using.
Hey Malik. Thanks for your kind comments! I grade with the natural profile and just apply a subtle colour grade. If you find my G9 settings video you can find out about the colour profile I set in the camera and then in editing I just apply a colour curve to increase contrast slightly. In terms of the ND filter, I use different ones depending on the lens. The Gobe ones are great but the one I used most in this video, on all of the Olympus 25mm 1.2 shots, was this one...geni.us/pdDg
@@CameraGeeks Thanks for valuable comment can I buy this and fixable to 12-60 kitlens?
Hey Malik. Your very welcome! You just need to check the diameter of your lens in mm (normally written on the front of the lens) and see if they sell it in that diameter. If not, see if Gobe sell one the right size.
@@CameraGeeks Thanks dear
"Use primes for the best result", Incomes the mighty 10-25mm f/1.7 😎
Yeah, bit of a game-changer that lens...definitely the exception to the rule 😂!
@@CameraGeeks it's the one lens that is keeping me at Panasonic and mft. It saves me so much time and hassle.
Can't beat the primes but that Leica lens comes close. I love it
I prefer my GH5 & GH5s because of the hotshoe I use the Panasonic XL1 Adaptor for better audio amps. That's the only reason why I don't own the G9.
I've not got the XL1 myself but it looks like a really useful tool.
@@CameraGeeks, it is, I got 3 of them. :)
Whether this comes with touch screen for all functions??
Yep, this camera has a touch screen so all of the settings can be changed by touching the screen.
I'm still on the GH3 :)
Regarding the iso 1600, it's actually grainier than at iso 2000. There's something about the 1600 iso that's weird. But yeah, instead of going to 1600, go to 2000 or 1250.
Thanks. I will try that idea.
Please I have a question , can I flim with my g9 and gh5 together to make a great video?
You definitely can. That's what I do when I'm filming weddings. The image quality from both is pretty much identical.
thanks for this video
i just come to my choice
You're welcome Pedroh! I stitched to the S5 but I still use the G9 in my other job and it's still my favourite camera body in terms of how comfortable it is to hold and use!
perfect camera
Friend, tell me how you installed 180d on G9 3:18
Really sorry but you can't use shutter angle on the G9. There is no option available. It's one of the few disadvantages. 😔
@@CameraGeeks Thanks for the answer. I'm a fan of the Lumix G9. I subscribed to your channel.
Is the 30 minute cap only for one clip?
Yes, 30 minutes per clip...nothing connected to overheating. It's only really a consideration for people who need to shoot really long shots like weddings or events.
Great! Thanks
You're welcome!
How are the bitrates on this one?
I was planning on purchasing the G9 from a friend. My question is if I use a external monitor/recorder, can I bypass the 30 minute record time limit? Also what zoom lense/lenses do you recommend for filming concerts and wedding events?
As an owner of the camera using an external recorder bypasses that. The limit is solely for internal recording only.
Hey Johny. I see Roman has already answered your question about recording limits. In terms of zoom lenses, the Sigma 18-35mm with speed booster is hard to beat, as long as you don't mind the heavy weight...th-cam.com/video/SWgyhwD9PH8/w-d-xo.html. It's aperture goes down to 1.2 with the equivalent of a 25-50mm focal range, so it capture creamy bokeh and performs well in low light. If you want a slightly lighter, native lens and have a ton of money to spend, then check out the Leica 10-25. For a longer length zoom lens, the Lumix 35-100 is pretty amazing but the aperture is 2.8, so there's a little less bokeh and it struggles when things get really dark...th-cam.com/video/mJIj6H_G_EY/w-d-xo.html. Hope that helps, Ben :)

how to do white balance spot-on in lumix g9
Hey Amit. Best advice for any system is to do a custom white balance using a grey card. I use the Manfrotto Ezybalance Card. If you want even more control and accuracy, look into the "colorchecker passport video". It costs more but gives you excellent control.
I have the feeling that G9 can make better videos then G5, why? Bc I fell that G9 sounds a cinema camera, G9 has some different quality images that sounds better with color and smooth images, also better stabilization and AF.
And I tripping?
Btw... I am confused about which one should I get, I want do 60-40 (vídeo-photo). GH5 or G9, maybe I am getting G9🤔 I don't know.
I'm not saying GH5 is a bad camera I just think G9 even isn't focused on vídeos has a different, I wanna get one of those so bad but I am very confused 😅😂🤣
dose it overheat?
Is this video shot 8bit?
Hi Johannes. Yes, the review video including any sample wedding footage was all shot it 8-bit.

G85 best professional lens give some idea but low budget lens also ok i will try it
Your current zoom lens has incredible range going from wide to telephoto but it's main limitation is its variable aperture; f3.5-5.6. This means it won't work well in low light and it won't achieve a shallow depth-of-field (blurry background) very easily. You've listed quite a lot of different uses but I think you are looking for a wide to medium zoom with a fixed, fast aperture. My recommendation would be a the Panasonic 12-35 f/2.8. It's a wide to medium zoom and the constant f2.8 aperture means you'll get decent results in low light and a nice blurry background. If you shoot in very low light a lot, try the 25mm f/1.7. This is cheaper but is not a zoom lens, so you need to move the camera closer to the subject or further away depending on the type of shot you want. The benefit of this lens is that it's EVEN BETTER in low light and you will also get a REALLY blurry background and a very cinematic image. I hope this helps. Ben :)
Thank you so much my dear
what happened @ 2:35???
Intéressant
I don't get it. The AF isn't great but everyone loves the camera. What gives?
Pretty much everything else is amazing, especially for photographers and hybrid shooters. If strong continuous AF performance is not high up on your list of needs as a videographer, there are a lot of other high-level features at a competitive price. I mainly work in weddings and have been shooting with manual focus for nearly five years. I've recently been using the G9's fast single-AF to hit focus on a static person/subject, and record shots quickly and easily. If you're filming video of something with fast-moving objects, like sports events, this would be an awful camera. Although for sports photography it would be amazing. Just got to compare the cameras pros and cons to your own particular needs. It ticks a lot of boxes for a lot of people.

I used the Panasonic G9 with a 12-35 2.8 mk2 And I use it for streaming and making TH-cam content honestly it's a perfect camera, I have some videos on my channel if you want to check it out Also I subscribed I enjoy the channel
Brilliant camera ruined by unusable video autofocus, if you like to point and shoot VIDEO then don't bother with this. You have been warned!
I think the autofocus can be good when shooting under certain conditions...but not all. I agree that if VIDEO autofocus is an important requirement for somebody, they may be best looking at other cameras. I would point out though that Panasonic seem to be making significant improvements with their new Lumix S5 camera.
@@CameraGeeksHi, I think that with the latest firmware the G9 AF is the same as the S5 AF. Am I correct? Pls adress the AF question. Thank you, Frans/Bali
