Photo Moment - September 12, 2023
Introducing the Panasonic LUMIX G9II, a groundbreaking Micro Four Thirds camera that redefines versatility and performance. This camera merges the best elements from its predecessors, setting a new standard for both photography and videography.
Top Features:
Advanced Autofocus: The G9II features a hybrid phase-detect autofocus system with 779 focus points. It excels in human and animal eye and body detection, car and motorcycle recognition, and maintains continuous autofocus at an impressive 60 frames per second.
- Image Stabilization: With a remarkable eight stops of image stabilization, this camera empowers longer handheld exposures and smoother video capture, even with longer lenses.
- Higher Resolution: Boasting a 25.2-megapixel sensor without a low pass filter, the G9II delivers sharper images. It introduces a groundbreaking 100-megapixel high-resolution mode achieved by combining up to 16 rapid-fire shots with sensor shifts and image stitching.
- Dynamic Range Boost: Inheriting the dynamic range boost from the GH6, this camera offers improved shadow detail and color rendition for still photos and an impressive 13+ stops of dynamic range for video. V-Log is included, without additional costs, starting from an ISO of just 500.
- Leica Monochrome Profile: A new color profile, Leica Monochrome, pays homage to the iconic Leica look, courtesy of Panasonic's collaboration with Leica.
- Realtime LUT: Realtime LUT lets you apply custom picture profiles to your shots. This feature allows you to achieve your desired look straight out of the camera. You can use pre-made LUTs or create your own, offering endless possibilities for customization.
- Live View Compositing: Perfect for long exposure photography, this feature enables you to preview long exposures on the LCD screen, making it easier to capture effects like light painting and star trails.
- Improved Hardware: The camera now boasts an eight-directional joystick and a high-resolution 1.8-million-pixel LCD monitor. Despite its compact size, it's based on the S5 Mark II, maintaining a lightweight design.
- Ample Storage: Equipped with dual SD card slots and support for SSD over USB recording, the G9II offers extensive storage capacity and efficient file management for both photo and video.
- Impressive Video Capabilities: While our focus has been on photography, the LUMIX G9II shines as a video camera too. It can capture 4K and 5.8K footage with various bit rates and dynamic range options, making it a versatile choice for videographers.
In summary, the Panasonic LUMIX G9II is a game-changing camera suitable for professionals and enthusiasts. Its advanced autofocus, image stabilization, and resolution enhancements make it a creative powerhouse for both photography and videography.

I'm being forced to upgrade from my G100 because I need faster mechanichal shutter and flash speed sync, the thing is that I love my Nocticron and it's the lens that I use 90% for my work anyways . For more context I only do photography [portraits]
I'm currently thinking about the G9II , but is hard to not consider the S line as someone who is looking to make an investment and currently starting to make money with his photography , that being said, I'm not really impressed by the S85mm f1.8 tbh , the rendering of the Nocti is just special.
So, am I sacrificing too much just because of the look of one lense? What do u think? Does it really make sense to get FF in my particular case? More IQ? More wrinkles to fix in post? I'm aware of the benefits of FF as well as the downsides, so keep that in mind .
So, if this would be u, only photography, portraits, one camera and an 85mm equivalent , which is? S5II with 85mm f1.8 or G9II with the Nocti?
"The Panasonic GH7 is expected to arrive with a hybrid autofocus sensor. This technology started from the Panasonic S5 Mark II, then Panasonic implemented its first hybrid Micro Four Thirds CMOS sensor in the Panasonic G9 Mark II camera, and finally, we are expecting the same sensor to arrive inside the Panasonic GH7.
The camera is set to arrive in Q4 of 2024. ". @@photojoseph
I do on .my om-1 or old lumix postfocus. Will it be addressed?
BtW, are you still associated with DxO? I'm hoping they quickly add the G9II to the list of supported bodies for PL6. Wait, make that PL7 as well--I see that's just been released (along with FP7). I'm still waiting for the Laowa 6mm--Laowa's not even in the drop list yet the make some great lenses... So, back to your relationship with DxO--will you be producing any videos extolling the virtues of the latest iterations of these products? They mention LUTs with PL7--I'd hope those would work with the G9II. Also, there seems to be added "Black and white mastery"--will that obviate SEP?
Panasonic has completely missed this essential feature.
