Ilm only gonna say three things.. 1) nice video man. very thorough ! 2) the LUMIX LAB APP is a GAME CHANGER and a WORKFLOW CHANGER, and every major camera brand will copy it and bring their own version of it, to set - transfer - share looks / luts / simulations to camera. Panasonic is ahead of the game. 3) The S9 is just FUN to shoot with. The Lumix Lab app and the LUTS provides a lot of the excitement, versatility, for sure... But it's just been fun. Pick a lut, send it to the cam, and go OUTSIDE to see what it does. That's the process I love and miss w/ a lot of other cameras. My Fuji's do it to an extent but, it's not as quick to set those looks, its just not the same. If you know you know. Cheers !

There is a thing called aperture,which you might have forgotten,hece shooting everything wide open 😅

La qualità delle foto è molto bassa, sembrano scattate con lo smartphone 😅

I Own the Same Kit here >> now I can add Bird in Flight to my Wild Life

Why not get both?

I like the Zoom features on cameras. Very useful. So the Sony ZV Cameras have a switch to do that. But still have to go into the menus to set up for the extra features but if using the extra zoom the image is not clear. I have the S5II & S5IIX and the menu system with all of the settings give you a lot of features that I haven't even tried to do. I have had a lot of cameras and recorded video time limits aren't a problem for me. Stabilization work arounds if the camera has none with higher shutter speed. No Low Light capability use software for noise or just stay in bed and go to sleep. LOL! I love all of my camera systems but I love tinkering with them and find out its strengths and faults. I hope the S9 features with the Phone App and Luts will be in a firmware update for my Panasonic S5II's. Great Video! Enjoy your technique and imformative description of the S9. Best Buy has it in Black but I want either the Red or Blue Color. I believe it also comes in Green. Best Buy sells the Black camera without a lens. The Red and Blue comes with the Kit lens. My Camera Store doesn't sell Panasonic except for used equipment. That's how I picked up my S5IIx with lenses. Love the Sigma's compact series lenses should go well with the S9. I need a portable camera, that is stabilized and takes great pics with a little video. Cheers!

Nice video, but how prone to dust sucking is it compared to LX 100 II?

“These monks” I think one may have been a bishop xD

Shame about your confusion.

Unsubtle is the word you’re looking for

even on video we can see quality of photo, it is garbage :((, smartphones can get better results... and lumix s9 just destroying this overpriced leica... micro 4/3 is dead

wandering focus point was also an issue with the CL; too easy to accidentally change - it needs a lock.

nice lx100 II with leica case at double price

Did you take any videos ? Does it have ibis which is essential for videos?

I cannot wait to get my hands on this camera! I've been in the market for a "truly pocketable" camera that's not a cell phone for along time, and none of the ones released in the last 3-4 years appealed to me. The D-Lux 7, Sony RX1R II, and Sony RX100 VIII were my finalists until Leica announced this one. Did more research, and I hard-landed on getting this. I'm definitely excited for this one!

v useful video - thank you

Thanks! I'd love to see a comparison with the Sigma fp or fp L; and with smaller lenses like the upcoming collapsible zoom or I-series etc!

Binoculars are actually really useful

Cool video man

Great video. ❤❤❤ I bought the Nikon P950 camera and it works great for me. It was only $700.

What kind of lens do you have on the camera in the befinning of this video?

I absolutely love the P950.

Does it have flash light

so sigma 🐺

Usm connection to eyepiece not shown, how 3 prongs fixes ? Obviously you can take pics as well,

Nice work chaps, great video 👍. Patient is the virtue you most certainly need.

I'm preparing to go on an African Safari this summer and am intrigued about this camera, but wondering if it's overkill over the p950 given how unsharp the images are in the end of the zoom range.

Thank you for having me Ben! Fun day out and nature delivered even without perfect light conditions!

Hi there, I own the exact same kit and strongly suggest putting a wrist strap on that lens and holding it always by the lens foot as the weight of that lens will warp your Z8 or 180-600mm mounting flange or both and will get a loosie twist feel when handing in the long run. With BIF I always use the Focusing box "wide L". In my "I" button, I setup to quickly change the focusing box for different scenarios like if the bird is behind heavy bush, I can switch it to spot focus. I set up CAF and MF override so If I need to, I can fine tune with manual focusing with focus peaking turned on. The other thing I can suggest is set up a Shoot A and Shoot B with settings for auto ISO (Shoot A) and ISO you can control with exposure compensation to the right 1-2 stops (Shoot B) for birds in flight that are consistently coming from one direction or static birds. If that Kite would consistently fly into the wind, I would Shoot in B mode that way I have proper exposure on the kite and then you can bring back that sky in post. If the Kite would be erratic and flying in all directions then Auto ISO, Shoot A mode, get it Sharp and deal with exposure and shadows in post later. By the way I never waste memory space shooting in Jpeg and Raw because remember you only got on CF card slot in that Z8, and I'm always shooting in FX, High Burst 20fps. I like CF Type B cards of 512GB. Do your research and you can get excellent brands at an excellent price. My SD card slot on my Nikon Z8 is always empty. For wildlife photography you want speed of capture, so CF always. BTW I considered the Z9 because of it having 2 CF card slots, but the weight and size between both camera bodies was a big factor in my decision. If I got a static bird, on approach I always try to move around considering its background and that all important Bokeh. Like you said, unfortunately having alota patience in order to get that killer shot is what is most important for this genre of photography. Other than that, that kit will definitely make your better at wildlife photography and like you say practice, practice. My 2cts and tips for anybody out there considering this excellent kit.

Because the victory is stunning not cheap but well worth it every time you pick them up.

Disappointed by the dial for film sims. Seems a gimmick to me. How do I select multiple shots - a function I use a lot for wildlife photography? Thanks.

Nice work Ben where is this please

Great vid. Glad I found this

Did you actually look through the devices at all ??

I am thinking to get one. I shoot on a x100f (Fuji) jpeg and road but jpeg on across and I have to admit, I do not touch the Raw and clean up the jpeg. But I feel limited in the law lights situations. It is likely me and not the camera but, I feel I can use all the help I can get from a full size sensor, monochromatic and 1.7 aperture. Be kind but let me know what you think

You needed a tad more shutter speed for those flying birds.

70 degree Fro? 😂 Great video. Some cracking photos of the Kite.

I fitted my baader Hyperion zoom to the Gavia using the Zeiss astro mount and I have attached my A600 camera with a sigma lens. pretty pleased with this, I also tried the Barlow and I am getting away with it for the most part, I am going to see what it looks like on Jupiter / Saturn.

How are things?! Yeah. really best , peace out~

ty!

Thank you great video.I have a question is your tripod is big a naught to stabilize the camera at 3000 mm

for what its worth, i've had the 150-600 on sony. Its a FF frame lens which has obviously been adapted to go on mft. i dont really understand why anyone with mft would want a ff sized lens? defeats the object. Might as well go FF instead

Thank you Fee for your wonderful review. Going to Alaska in August 2024 and really don't want to carry my heavier pro camera eqip. Considering purchasing this camera? Best Jeff Brooklyn, N.Y.

Wonder if this focal length can handle a Nisi close up filter.

I actually like the donut bokeh. Not great for all images, but interesting at times. It's kind of like the bokeh of a Trioplan, kind of unique and out there. Using a stabilized camera body, you can have IS with this or any lens.

Ordered the camera through you guys so looking forward to it shipping. How's the 28th looking?

Brilliant presenter. I hope you stick with him. 👍

My pre-order is with you - just hope you can deliver the goods in good in a timely manner!

Nice video thanks
