75fps Continuous Burst Panasonic G9 II, but I expect more... Hands-on First Lok 

Let's goo, another micro four thirds camera. The format is so underrated

When you raise one hand above your head to shoot 800mm FFeq images/video, it's more than impressive. It's insane IBIS.

People moan about g9ii body size, but it packages the world's best stabilisation and an overall photo+video powerhouse.

I can't consider any camera that doesn't come with rhino-detect auto focus :D

Good explanation of the IBIS wobble related to perspective change, Lok! No one else has thought of this

Another Lumix video from Lok always makes me happy

Yay another Lok video

This is the most exciting camera release since the Fujifilm XT2.

Way to go Lok!!!

The launch of the G9II is a significant boost for the m43 community. Recently, I've made a full transition back from Sony FF to m43. Virtually everything you can do with Fullframe can also be achieved with m43, but with less weight (which becomes increasingly important as you get older) and less intimidating to the surroundings. The video quality of the GH6 is impressive and fantastic to work with. However, compact and yet excellent cameras like the GX9 are pleasant companions for a day out. Naturally, the G9II (with its much-improved AF) is on my wishlist, along with the highly underrated OM5 from OM systems (420 grams). The latter camera is a hybrid marvel when it comes to both photo and video (4K and 120 FPS HD) in a small and lightweight body. Try capturing a handheld video with panning using a Sony (e.g., the zv1 or the a7c); it's quite challenging. The OM5 can do it, and, of course, the G9II can as well. Hopefully, Panasonic will continue to innovate and soon release a GX9 mkII and/or a G90 mkII.

If the G9 only came with Phased Detection I’d be at the front of the que to buy one, which I am. But to bring out a camera aimed at photographers, which kills the GH6 is a big deal, for me at least😊

AFAIK mechanical shutters are at their development limits, and we won't see any massive changes in performance there bar any unforeseen new types of shutter designs. Electronic shutter or global shutter are the future, and with the developments in sensor tech and in computational photography, that future is bright.

The defining review is if this will be Lok's new main camera!

Great video Lok

PDAF GM1-sized or a GX850-sized camera, Panasonic おねがいします 🙏 😊

Let's remember the E-M1 ii (2015) could/can do 60fps and has PDAF in video now. Probably not as good though, but who cares as long as you don't have the wobbles in the AF.

I hope the G9II has better vlogging PDAF than the S5II you shot this with? 😆

It is almost as good as a g9 as it is missing a mode dial lok

I wish i knew you were in the area..lol i would have come...

So happy Fujifilm started the full-size HDMI port revolution

The G9II also has I-dynamic, Panasonic removed it for the GH6 for some reasons. It's a nice feature.

Lok i need some help. Im going to do some boring corp job, 3 camera setup. i already have a sony a7iv, i need 2 more cameras, Cheap as f..k. 4k. with kit lens what would you go for, mate pick some camera that doesnt overheat and can stand 1h constant filming. Hope you can help me out, much love.

So this is a kind of little z9, even better but with small sensor and much cheaper?

Thank you for the review. I shoot with all the underdogs - Nikon, Fuji, and Panasonic. I have a place for them all and really enjoy the Panasonic G9 and GX85 because they are fun to shoot with. I found during the very hot summer, the Fuji X-T5 and Panasonic G9 were more dependable due to recalls of the Z8 and that they did not give me heat warnings. I have the original Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm and think I will get the G9 II for those sunny days when I want a smaller wildlife setup. I am also trying to decide between the Panasonic Leica Lumix 25-50mm f/1.7 and dPanasonic Leica Lumix 10- 25 mm f/1.7 lens. It is nice seeing you making videos.

Let me know if you are still around the area(kent) wouldnt mind helping you shoot....

Is this a park in the UK? Where is this? I took a quick look in the description and the comments, but could not find this info. Thanks :)

G9 6k 60fps, new G9II 75fps ? @ 6K again ? External SSD great/auto focus great ! If it's 6K we need raw photos ! Same body so interchangeable lens ? Adapter ? S and G lens Adapter. Ports clean Great ! Lumix is running out of room. Less complicated was the suggestion so make another G series with more of a cell phone type interface. Cell phones are the KING ! 10k to one DSLR. Can the current Lumix people learn ? Time will tell !

What is reason Panasonic always build big body for their MFT cameras?

Great video Lok! The S5II has this weird bug with the burst mode where if you shoot a short burst, release the shutter, and press it again, it won't take any more photos. Any idea if they've fixed this for the G9II? Fairly certain they've still not fixed it in the S5II 🤔

Hey Lok, big thumbs up because your English is steadily getting better. I remember a time when your English wasn't as fluid and easy for you. As someone who has always struggled in non-English countries with the local language, I know how difficult it is when having to use a language that is not your first language. Especially hard as adults. Children absorb new languages like a sponge, but us adults generally find it more difficult. I am impressed how quickly you have improved now you are in Britain. Congratulations. I don't expect a GH7 for a couple of years, but I do expect a GH6 II within six months. I am hoping for a GH5 III, but I doubt that will happen. A pity, because I prefer it to the GH6 because of size and live streaming and the 4K/6K Photo. Sadly, Panasonic has a habit of removing favorite features from updated cameras. In this case I hate that the top screen is gone. I use that every day on my original G9. However the new G9 II is all the video camera that I ever need, and I did want 4K 120, open gate, unlimited recording times, and anamorphic support, and the new camera is now perfect for my needs and I will keep the original G9 for stills only shooting. It is a great camera just for stills. I expect you will benefit from a Mark 2 of the GH6, it is sure to get some new features along with the new phase detect sensor. I assume it will get the same sensor as in the G9 II. Even though it is the same MP as the GH6, it is an all new sensor, and doesn't have the problems like light streaks, that the GH6 had on release.

GM9 ..... ?? Plz ;)

G9 2 dont shoot 5k only 4k 60

Arranged,..to shoot animals (pause) with a camera 😅😅😅. Comedy gold right there.

Screw you Panasonic i have been shooting wildlife with the G9 for over 5 years and then you go and ignore me 😂

the best stabilisation always olympus had ...
