The Panasonic G9, where to start. I love this little camera. I say little in comparison to my Nikon D4s. Having received the G9 early in January 2018 it has become my go to camera . To compliment the G9, I purchased the Panasonic 35-100 f2.8. This gives me the equivalent of a 70-200mm which is my standard workhorse while out and about. Starting at the beginning, the feel of this camera is up there with the top of any other brand. The quality, weight, shape of the grip make it a joy to hold. Everything falls to hand with ease. The shutter button is light, the function buttons well placed and the dials have a positive feel to them. The top LED plate is so useful, no trawling about the back screen to see your setting.

Took up photography again (40 yr gap) after retiring 3 years ago. Wildlife and flowers / insects my main areas of interest. Focus stacking is a great way of capturing more detail and shooting with everything in front the camera in focus, which sounds obvious, but is difficult to achieve with a large lens aperture. I have moved from 4/3 to micro 4/3 and from Olympus to Panasonic in the progression through G6 to G9. For wildlife I use the Panasonic 100-300mm lens for keeping up with the local red squirrels and 12-60mm for flowers. The G9 is very easy to use, after applying your settings you just need to move the lower dial under the PASM ring from single shot box to macro.

I've used my G9 for portraits and wildlife photography primarily. The shutter speed is superb for capturing fast moving subjects, the auto focus in AFS is lightning quick. I love the pre-burst and post focus modes. The controls and menus are very intuitive and clearly laid out. I love the ergonomic feel of the G9. It's significantly bigger than my GX7, but not unwieldy thanks to the size of the lenses compared to full frame SLRs. The LCD top plate was something I wasn't particularly bothered about, but it has proved useful. The inclusion of the Intelligent Auto mode, means that anyone can pick up this camera and take great photographs, the manual modes allow for greater control and creativity.

great little mirrorless camera. I've owned 4 Lumix cameras now and this is the largest and best. Micro four thirds is a pretty good format that can't compete with full frame kit in my opinion, but it's much lighter and cheaper.The Lumix G9 feets like a smaller entry level DSLR but is tougher and fully featured with very good auto focus, a decent screen and the controls that you'd expect from a semi-pro DLSR.I'm very impressed with it. It won't replace my full frame canon for some work, but for family photos and when I'm out and about it's great. With the right lenses it's a great piece of kit. Results with a prime lens or decent portrait glass are very good and the reach with a 400mm lens is

I am a music reviewer and use photography to create the images to enhance the storyline of the review. Everything about The G9 is exceptional especially the quietness in operation and the ease to switch to Silent which has always been so difficult to do on previous cameras. The Viewfinder is as good as any optical version. The G9 even with Battery Grip is so light which is a major bonus when extended is required. The Image Stabiliser is amazing and I have done handheld up to 3 seconds without any sign of blurring. I have always found Panasonic Cameras are much easier to get great images and I use a GM-1 as my backup camera. I Love The G9 to bits.

The LUMIX DC-G9 is an awesome tool for everyone who takes pictures. It has the latest and greatest technology included so that almost every kind of pictures can be taken with great results. The extra battery grip (optional) makes the camera even for big hands and big lenses like the 100-400mm a perfect match. The camera feels solid and is very responsive. It can be set up to ones needs in many respects and makes taking pictures even in odd circumstances an intuitive experience. The Bluetooth and WiFi possibilities and the cream on the cake when it comes to remote shooting or getting GPS-data stored withing the images.

I bought this product 6 weeks ago as a replacement for my previous 4/3rds panasonic body. Although the weather has not been great I have played with the camera to get acquainted with the camera for a wildlife trip to India. First impression are very good, easy to set up, menu very good as is the picture quality. The introduction of the screen on the top of the camera is a great improvement and very useful.I have however had the camera freeze where nothing operated, not even the on/off switch and had to remove the battery to switch off, once the battery was replaced the camera operated normally.

Before the G9 I had an OM-D-EM-1 II and although I tried my best it just seemed fiddly to change settings and generally get on with, I'm not suggesting there was anything wrong with the camera but once I'd tried a G9 there was no going back. Everything just seems to be where you want it, the power switch is well placed on the front of the camera, the control knob to change from single to continuous to stacking etc. is right there, the hand grip is reassuring and you can look straight down and see all your settings at a glance. All in all a well designed, intuitive and competent camera.

Enthusiast, club photographer taking street, landscape & portraits images, Had heavy SLR needed lighter professional camera with good choice of quality lenses. It not all about New hardware (Cameras) Firmware, softwares updates are important to keep the camera advancing. Camera software need to advance by having APPs and save to cloud or down load to Flickr or instagram. Downloading SSD cards is old tech. Panasonic App needs to be advanced, Example- it need a timer to set and release the shutter. For ND filter exposure. And timed exposures. It's the little things that makes it easier,

My main interest is photographing wildlife, especially birds. With additional speed and efficiency this beats my previous APS-C kit easily. Image quality is excellent, even JPEGs out of camera are first class requiring little work, if at all. I have been using cameras and computers for many years and this system fits in well. In use it is comfortable in the hand and all buttons, switches and menu settings make sense. Great! I now patiently wait improved UK weather and especially my free battery grip which is still awaited, no despatch information as at 20 February.

I switched from Canon to Panasonic to reduce the weight of gear for travel and wildlife photography. The GX8 was good for travel but not fast enough for action wildlife shots. The G9 certainly is. Combined with the Leica 100-400 lens the G9 is near to ideal for safari photography where the equivalent DSLR and lens really is too heavy. It is fast, quiet and has good image quality. While I mainly take stills, having such good video capability (4K, auto-focus, image stabilisation etc.) instantly available is ideal for capturing unexpected animal behaviours.

I use my G9 outside in all weathers taking photographs of diesels and steam locomotives so having a camera which is water resistent does give me peace of mind and having a magnesium alloy body does save on the knocks. When the light levels start getting low I have found that the Image Stabilisation has really helped me out as I do not like carrying a tripod around, and I was pleasently surprised when changing that the ISO that you can raise or lower the ISO in smaller increments compared to my G7. A great camera for taking outdoors!

Fits my big hands very comfortably. My only complaint, which seems silly and is just a moan really, is that it is almost too customisable. There are so many function buttons available that I forget which one I have programmed to do what. My age doesn't help. It has the best Quick Menu I have used for a long time. Nothing unnecessary on it and the touch screen makes it doubly useful. Combined with the Leica designed lenses it is a formidable outfit. The performance of the 4/3 sensors never ceases to amaze me. Love it.

This is the 4th Panasonic Lumix camera I have owned and as always the quality is brilliant. I purchased the G9 as I wanted extra punch from a zoom perspective and therefore went micro four thirds to reduce weight on lens and also get closer images at a reasonable cost. The G9 with Panasonic lenses provide the perfect setup for my aviation photography and the Dual IS also helps a lot. I guess this will be my go to camera until I can afford te Panasonic full frame model due in March :-)

I have always preferred Olympus to Panasonic, but I have to admit the G9 has changed my mind. Great image quality, particularly in good light. Fast and accurate focus and perfect exposure every time, Add more video options than you can shake a stick at including 4K and flat CinelikeD profile. The one thing that niggled me was the size, it is pretty big for micro four thirds. But all the positives far outweigh that and it doesn't bother me now/
