    My favorite mirrorless of all time.
    I have been using the G9ii for wildlife, landscape and portraits.If someone can't get pro results on micro four thirds, then I don't know what to tell ya. This camera is so jam packed with features I could write pages and pages. The only thing I wish this camera had compared to the OM1 is the EVF resolution. Some people complain about battery life but I've cranked out 2,000 shots on one battery when taking bird photos. I have literally never had to use my spare battery in the field.A few highlights:The hi-res mode will blow your mind. The new composite long exposure works fantastic (see my sample picture of the traffic), composite mode works just as well as on my EM1MK3. The bird autofocus just simply works great. Autofocus works perfectly on both Lumix and Oly lenses. The time lapse functionality is the best in any camera on earth.I have many cameras and shoot medium format, full frame, multiple Leicas, and have owned every brand of mirrorless full frame out there. I can't stress enough how amazing this camera is and if you get caught up in sensor size then I think you need to work on your craft and learn to love taking photos.So quickly I'll mention the few cons:1. Price, this is not a cheap camera.2. Shutter speed won't go longer than 60" without bulb mode, please Panasonic do a firmware update to allow us to go up to 15 minutes like that other brand! But most brands stop at 30" so I'm thankful that Panasonic goes up to 60".3. They removed the top LCD info display.If you're torn between this and the OM1, I think it's a tossup and really comes down to which body feels better for you to shoot with. For me, this camera feels like home because of the buttons and ergonomics and menus. I simply fight less with this camera, but I guarantee you I'd end up with the same results on either camera, but definitely go with the G9ii if you need more video features. They packed in everything you can image for video and time lapse.

    I decided to ditch my Nikon full-frame Z camera and lenses and go with Micro 4/3, mostly because I'm getting older and tired of lugging around a big camera and lenses. After watching tons of video reviews, I decided on the Panasonic Lumix 9ii. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the images and especially the video. The lenses are also smaller and lighter, and I'm happy with the quality of all of them. Highly recommend.

     Camera takes great photos, but the rattling inside just can't be right. Perhaps it's first build issues? Will buy another once refund is in, hopefully not a repeat issue.

     I was excited when Panasonic first announced the G9 II with PDAF back in September!! I watched just about every YouTube video I could find talking about the new features, great auto focus, open gate 5.7K recording, LEICA Monochrome JPEG LUTs and the list goes on. I received the camera from Amazon the day after its release and I was taking pictures and video right away! Everything was fantastic until I uploaded my own LUTs which is a big feature with the G9 II and S5 II cameras. Once I uploaded the LUTs, the camera started changing contrast all on its own when in any picture profile. It didn't matter if it was Standard, Natural or LEICA Monochrome, the contrast would shift on its own without warning. The only way to get rid of the high contrast was to turn off and on the camera. This issue wasn't just on the monitor and EVF, the higher contrast was baked into the image or video that you took. I contacted Panasonic right away and they had no answers for me. They didn't even seem interested in trying to figure out a solution to this issue. After a few back and forth emails, they suggested to just return the camera to Amazon. I listened and no longer have the G9 II. What started as excitement and a falling in love with new gear experience, became heartbreak and regret. If you're never going to use any other picture profiles then what Panasonic has already loaded onto the camera, then I say, get the G9 II and you'll love it! If you're wanting to take advantage of the Real Time LUT feature that is so heavily advertised, I'd steer clear for a while until Panasonic can sort out these software issues. Another fact that helped seal the deal on the return was that Sigma announced earlier this year that they are no longer making lenses for the MFT format. I decided to go with another camera system that has lots of third party support and I've been very happy with the customization and lack of issues with LUTs.

    I tried really hard to love this camera, but I have three fundamental issues: 1) when i press the shutter,the camera gets jammed and malfunctions 2) In addition, the camera often gets stuck out of focus, and the only thing that i can do to make it go back into focus is turn on and off the camera. 3) the camera hits the buffer after just a few seconds and it takes a minute to clear, leaving you sitting and waiting and unable to take photos.

    I have missed dozens of shots because of these issues. I feel sad, disappointed, and foolish.

    I downloaded the latest firmware, did a factory reset, and spoke to Lumix customer service and nothing works. this camera doesn't pass the test.

    Unfortunately, I tried too hard to like it and now i am it's passed the 30 day return policy so i am stuck with a $2K piece of junk.

    Stay Away.
