I was in my local camera store on March 31st looking for something else, and ended up getting the GX9. The clerk said it was the last one in the store, and that they wouldn't be getting any more. I heard that Panasonic is getting out of the Micro Four Thirds business, or maybe just the compact camera business. I ordered two more lenses in addition to the 12-60 kit lens that came in the box, and those should be arriving tomorrow. I ordered the Lumix Vario 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 and the Mitakon Speedmaster 25mm f/0.95. I'm hoping to get a really small and fast prime lens for pocket carry, probably the Lumix 20mm f/1.7, if they're not all sold out by payday next week.
Completely agree that the flip down screen is so much better than the fully articulating one for us still photographers. Also the wifi and the app. Brilliant. I tried and gave up using the crappy Fujifilm app when I had my X100V but the Panasonic one is so so good.
Thanks for the video! I love my GX9 as well, but for me it doesn't make sense to use those big lenses with the GX9. You already mentioned "almost pocketable" but that's out the window using your excellent but big lenses. I deliberately chose the tiny pancakes (12-32mm, 14 2.5, 20 1.7) as well as the still tiny 35-100mm tele. And to my experience, those tiny and cheap-ish lenses are definitely good enough. The big glass goes on the G9. Only thing I hate on the GX9 is that it has buttons literally everywhere and you have to adopt a certain way to hold it without inadvertently changing some settings. And this is also the very reason I don't like big lenses on this camera. Holding it gets awkward because the balance is off.
good video! I really like photography I have an iPhone 14 pro and it is very good to have the pro raw mode to edit my photos in lightroom, I am interested in the lumix gx9 that you have, I want to take the step to a photo camera, do you think I would give a quality step with the lumix gx9? Then I would like to know if with the Panasonic application to transfer the photos to the iPhone if it does so by transferring them in raw to directly be able to edit them on the iPad in Lightroom. regards
They don't make it anymore ? I've heard it is not sold in Japan anymore but here in Europe you can still order it brand new. And yes it is a cheap camera.
@@grantrobertdavies Still new ones for sale at various Australian camera stores - online at least. Love mine bought it early 2021 body only for just $710 brand new - bargain. Love it with the Leica Lumix 15mm f1.7 lens great walk around set up.
It’s called the GX7 mark III in Japan, and is definitely still being sold. I saw it today on display at Bic Camera, which is what led me to watch this video here.
@@laurentyarp514 just bought a used GX7MK3(GX9) for $500! in the JP silver. It's literally the same camera, a used gx9 in silver sales for $700 without a lens
