Lumix S9: Stripped-down, Full-frame 

Random old Asian man just hanging out is so on brand. Lmao.

Burst out laughing at 2:58 😂

Would love more collabs with the guy at 3:00

It sounds like the Lumix re-structure is finally paying off. Hopefully Sigma will update the fp line if this is successful, too. With Blackmagic on board as well, L-mount is finally really compelling, and becoming truly diverse. My dream is that Fuji will license the HVF to Lumix.

2:57 I watched that like 10 times and I can’t stop laughing

For the price, I think the S9 is a great choice. The features it doesn’t have are not deal breakers to me. Thanks for sharing your experience.

The fact they "botched" the lenses part is truly sad... I can't wrap my head around why they didn't just focus an making one compact prime with 2.8....

What they are doing with the LUTs is terrific. Now Apple should do that as well (maybe in their new Final Cut camera), so you can go back and forth in one video right on the phone.

If it’s got the stalman stamp of approval it’s fine by me

The video and photo quality is incredible. This seems best for entry level, vlogging folks that definitely want something MUCH better than a smartphone.

What is your definition of budget??

Strongly agree that the small lens is a problem considering this as a compact system. A 26mm f4 AF pancake-ish lens would be very appealing (f2.8 would be even better of course!)

Great video Tyler and awesome meeting again in Japan 👊🏿

Great video👍🏻 glad you haven’t received any of the “hate” the most of us have gotten probably because your audience makes more sense for this camera. But this camera rocks for travel🔥

If this was 900 dollars I'd buy it instantly because my S5ii with the 24-105 and microphone is too heavy and bulky to do run and gun style vlogging. I've always wanted something smaller and lighter, but at this price range and the recording time limit is an issue. I really wanted this!! Hopeful for S9ii

The S9 is the same price as the S5ii. In some sits more. How is it budget camera?

Nara is really lovely. Been there twice and it is always very charming. About S9, I feel this is more for casual shooter rather than for a more serious individuals.

Man, the footage from Nara looks amazing! I might have to check that place out next time I’m out there. Solid video as always bro!

It's not an asia trip without an oldman standing next to you. It's the Law!🤣

30 seconds in, had a very familiar vibe...you're in osaka!!!!!

Beautiful footage! Balanced coverage on the build as well.

2:58 nah this is too funny

Found it in Germany for 1650.- including the 85/1.8! The price of an iPhone pro max. For a family/travel/every day cam I think it’s perfect. I just want the best picture quality and carry it with me, don’t care about the rest and there are many other cams for those who need „more“

Pros for S9 vs S5ii: 258g lighter than S5ii, Smaller body, $300 cheaper than S5ii, LUT mayhem if you're into that, Cold shoe Pros for S5ii vs S9: EVF, Mechanical shutter, Dual card slots, Headphone jack, True unlimited recording with a fan, Way more buttons and customization in the body, Proxy recording, 14bit Raw files, Better grip, Weather sealed body, Hot shoe for flash photography and XLR adapter

Nobody is mentioning about the screen brightness on summer sunny days, since there is no EWF. Will I be able to shoot any picture with confidence ?

You made the best lut, thank you so much!

You mentioned the features the S9 didn’t have such as a mechanical shutter, no hot shoe and no flash built in but the one other missing thing was weather sealing. When the S9 was hinted at in the rumours, it perked up my ears as I would love a compact full frame camera… the Sony option has a tiny EVF so it’s not on my list. But when I saw the specs, and more importantly what it didn’t have I lost interest immediately. So I find myself back looking at either buying the X100VI or the Q3, both of which are almost impossible to get here in Scotland right now. It’s sad they made the decision to leave out what most would say is an essential for any camera… EVF, weather sealing, mechanical shutter and some kind of flash too… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Next time I’m getting you in my video danggit.

I was wondering why you didn't mention the video limitations and just flash a message about them in the screen. I guess is to avoid not being invited the next trip 😊

I guess camera companies must be having a hard time these days with most people using phones instead. But good looking cameras are always fun to collect lol.

Beautiful footage, love full frame. However, I would not buy a camera workout a viewfinder! In bright sunlight a rear screen is hard to work with.

hi, not a camera for me, but i thought yours was a very good and balanced review.

Id love to see a beauty mode/ smooth skin mode in this camera since it seems to be mainly for social media and content creation

It cant be true that they removed any sign of a viewfinder for the size. Other example exist of small fullframe cameras

P.S. They're not auto-focus, but the two lenses which I've had in mind for my Leica TL2 are these M-mount Voigtlaender lenses: 28mmF2.8 at 106g; and the 35mmF1.5 at 188g. The M-L adaptors weigh between 75-100g depending if you get a close-focus mechanism.

I'm wondering, since the real time lut feature is available on the s5ii, but not with it's integrated button. Can we essentially do the same thing on that bigger camera? As far as capabilities and the results of the images coming out? Also do you think the lumix lab app will be compatible with the s5 ii regarding luts?

random 3 minute guy is my favorite new character

If you guys sell it Im all in. I have s5 of course i wanted to update to s5II solely for the AF (from garbage to usable) As I was expecting a s1h II or something like that I was waiting. But a s9 could fit me, I rarely shot more than 15 min footage. I also shoot an olympic champion and when Im with him he wants to have the file really fast (so back to hotel to unload+ short edit and send him back) I could see a really good use of s9 in this scenario. wether its photo or video sometimes I retouch some but he still just post some raw photos. So if at least I could have a lut on it etc that would be already cool for a fast share

Ваши Луты будут в приложении от Панасоник ?

I want them to take LUTs to m4/3, and the pocket lineup too, all the Lumix cameras 🥰

2:57 "we've been trying to contact you concerning your car's extended warranty "

I would think that a better comparison would be this camera vs. The Sony A7C2. Both full frame. Both compact.

Such video limits in 2024. OMG, Panasonic, what are you doin'?

Probably would go for it if it was weather sealed. I've got an S5 Mark i and a Fuji X pro 2/pancake set up. I Was "hoping" to replace the Xpro 2 to have a compact daily with my L mount EcoSystem.

After seeing so many negative videos about the camera it was good to see this.

A photo-centric design for a Video* Creator's Camera....with a short video recording limit. 😅

i was constantly hoping the guy would reappear throughout the review

So their LUT feature is essentially a Conversion LUT + a Stylistic LUT in one go?! ❤️

Which Sigma lenses would you recommend for this camera?

3:09 15 minute record limit? 😮‍💨

So you download the image to your phone and then upload? Why not just shoot on your phone? How long before an app alows 1 touch LUT application on your phone, and then the S9 becomes useless.

Great seeing you in Japan! You guys gotta come visit my little country on one of your international adventures 😊

Best part 2:58 😮

“Smaller than an X without a lens” is like describing “Ford’s new F-150 is lighter than the same size Chevy if you don’t fit an engine”.

3:00 Ojisan! Stop it please! Hahahaha

There was no Fuji X100iv. Why not comparing it to the vi instead? ;)

Any info on when the app will be available?

I'm torn between the fujifilm XS-20 and this one, I just want a camera to take jpgs on family trips without thinking too much about it, I'm guessing because of the full frame sensor, this camera would be better for moving subjects or night photography

So what lens suit for now？

Is this really a budget option for 1500?

Just a random wholesome Hello 3:00 😊

2:58 is gold hahaha

Bro at 3:00 was a vibe 🤣🤣🤣

What lens were you using when filming with the monitor

If you get a plug-in battery would it go beyond 15 minutes for video?

Osaka looking good!

Do you sell the Under NDA hat??

Those record limits must be a joke 🥲

Lumix created a lens cap with a small hunk of glass on the front… can you put filters on the lens? Nope…

I am very curious how easy it is to use the punch in zoom for manual focus, Because like my sigma FPL I would assume that this would be great with some fast manual focus lenses. Esp the very affordable stuff coming out of china. TTArtisans 50 F2 or Pergear 35 F1.4 would probably both be great. If I worked in a camera shop I would have plenty of those on hand to demo with the camera to potential customers that have never been able to play with Bokeh before.

no mic jack is a deal breaker.

Too stripped down for me to consider. Will wait for future lumix L mount bodies to consider

“Hello” 😂😂😂

ummmmmm no flash photography too bad...i think lumix should just release a handycam style much more comfortable to hold if they are serious about photography in this

I like the full frame, ... Nothing else! No flash? no viewfinder, really? It's a bit like a full frame phone that can't make calls. Stripped down and usless unless you only want limited video.

Does it have in body focus bracketing/stacking for macro?

What camera are you using to film this vlog though?

It looks a lot like the XE-4

Will MP4 Lite & Lumix Lab be coming to the S5iiX?

❤

NO FLASH?!!?!?!?!?!?!!?

if not 40 mp at least 33 mp

1,500 a budget camera? 😭 somebody buy it for me since it’s soooo on a budget

Hello 🙂

I'm a lumix fan, and also like your video quite a bit. But this is ridiculous to say this video is NOT sponsored by them! Come on! They flew you to Japan, and with all the things sorted like hotel rooms right?! And you basically had a free trip to Japan, playing with the newest camera, making a video (get views and money on RU-vid). If you dare to say anything major to harm their products' sale, guess whether you would be invited next time?

Bro skip the shooting in public, at least in japan. No need to turn asia into usa where you cannot walk a block without walking into someone’s video. Just enjoy the video, shoot samples and voice over later.

“Cinematic Colors” Bro it’s 4:2:0 lol

8:32 the deer probably doesn’t understand you…. Given that they all speak Japanese obviously 😂

Why would I want to transfer full-frame quality to my phone to put on instagram? I don't understand.

Looks too half arsed to me.

2:58 He must be from China

Won't replace my fuji x100S until it gets an evf or Ovf.

Hello 😂

1st🎉

This camera is about $600 overpriced.

GERALD UNDONE EXPOSED YOU. Unsubscribed.

No viewfinder, and no FLASH! no go.

It's a stupid camera. Too little, too late.

Budget? At $1800, what world are you living in?

calling 1499usd a budget? lol...
