    Would love the same tilting screen as the one on the GH6, Improvements in high ISO, even better stabilization. And hoping there will be few changed (or changes for the best) in the ergonomics of that handy camera. Maybe a slightly smaller camera if possible, the upper screen can be removed.

      That would be nice to see. Although, it doesn’t really have a full blown anamorphic mode. There’s the 6K photo mode that can sort of function as such, but it’s very limited and nothing like the anamorphic/open gate on a GH5/6

    Great video mate! For me I was eyeing the G9 for a few years but sadly it was at a price point which was out of reach. So I figured I'd have to just get on with my trusty G85 for a few more years till it was at an affordable level for me. Then out of the blue about 5 months ago I saw one on my local FB marketplace in mint condition used for $600 AUD with two batteries and a case.
    Suffice to say I jumped on it so fast and when I finally got a chance to play around with it. I was just so amazed at the amount of thought that went into this camera even back in 2017. Absolutely love the ergonomics, EVF and amount of great video options there are.
    I will admit that I am still learning about video in general but I feel I've got one of the best cameras out there to start the journey on. I am excited for what I will produce with this camera and also hopeful that Panasonic makes a successor to the G9 some day.
    Regards from Australia!

The 2.5 firmware for very beneficial, I'm a poor at manual focus, but linear focus really helps, and not just for videos. Have a great holiday!

    Your holiday looks lovely, even in all weathers! Are you sailing yourself, or do you have crewmates?
    I love my Pana G9. It's my main camera, use it for everything but my main hobby is wildlife photography. It's light, manoeuvrable and tough, and it takes great images on top too. Noise can be a problem, but then again m43 has some great low aperture lenses, and a photo that made an awful jpeg can be transformed with the right processing - DxO Photolab is my preferred for this. I'll go as high as 12800 ISO if I need to get an image, and know that if the content is good, them DxO can do enough to help people forgive the grain.
    My only gripe with it is with birds in flight - I've been trying to get pictures of kestrels flying near me and struggle with focus/framing. Then again, that's not just the camera's fault - I need to improve too, they're very small birds against very pale UK skies (cloudy now after our heatwave), and also the 100-300 mk ii lens I'm using is good but not the greatest telephoto for m43. I'm sure I'd get better results with a 100-400 or maybe even a 50-200, but those can wait for now while I hone my skills.
    I sometimes get GAS, as I'm sure most photo/video/tech geeks do, but I'm the least affected when I get out, use my camera and realise what a competent, reliable imager it is.
    Anyway, thanks again for another G9 video. I suppose it is unlikely it will receive any more major firmware updates - if it does, great, if not, well it's a cracking camera anyway.
    Interesting to see Andrew Goodall of Nature's Image Photography take a G9 and a GH6 to Tanzania recently, and not see a super meaningful difference between them photographically.

    • @RedFrameTech
      @RedFrameTech  Pƙed rokem

      Thanks for sharing your experience with and enthusiasm for the G9!
      My holiday here in the Netherlands was great! Even the ‘tornado’ that was very close by (and caused a lot of damage and even a death). It was beautiful! I have been sailing professionally for many years. Many times solo. But now, it’s for pleasure only 😎, since I made a switch to a career as a videographer. I do have my girlfriend (who is British) with me as my crew member 🙂.
      As I mainly do video, I’m not that familiar with the photo side of the G9. But I’m really happy with the quality of the photos that I do take. I’ve been wanting to try DxO Photolab for processing my photos. Do you have any recommendations for a CZcams channel that has good tutorials on this? 😅
      I’ve been practicing birds in flight with the G9 too, in video, and it’s quite hard. I agree with you when you say it’s probably our skills that need to improve, although the continuous AF also isn’t great as we all know. Most of the time I’m trying using manual focus though. The PL 100-400 is a great lens btw. I’m really enjoying the reach, sharpness and colour rendition.
      GAS is indeed very familiar to me.. but I’m still enjoying the G9 very much and have no plans on selling it!
      I’m also planning on making a comparison video between the GH6 and the G9 for video

  • @Democratiser
    @Democratiser Pƙed rokem +2

    Nice summary. How effective do you find the GH6’s Focus Limiter function in reducing hunting and pulsing in CAF/AFF? If it works well, that is another function that I would like to see in the G9. The other on my wish list of firmware upgrades would be lifting the record limits. Otherwise, I agree with your G9 II features
 as well as better AF of course.
    I suspect that a new AF system will arrive with the next S range of Lumix cameras and trickle down to G/GH lines.

    • @RedFrameTech
      @RedFrameTech  Pƙed rokem +2

      Thanks Luke!
      About the GH6’s focus limiter; I haven’t tested it in many different situations yet, but so far for talking head stuff it’ seem to indeed reduce pulsing. I am going to do more tests with it and make a video about it at some point. It would indeed be a nice addition to the G9 as well!
      I think you’re right about a new AF system in the next S series cameras. I suspect it’ll be a hybrid dfd/phase detect system.

    I needed a backup camera for my EM1 Mark II. Instead of getting a second Mark II or even a Mark III, I chose the G9 because of its video specification. For stills, the G9 is a good match to my EM1 Mark II. My G9 was used, but in mint condition with a low shutter count for just over $700. I don’t think you can beat that value! The G9 is definitely still relevant today, especially with the upgrades. New Sub!

    great video! recording limit is a killer for me though, and the G9 (at least in Europe) is heavily restricted, making it only marginally better than a GH4 when you already own a small fleet of Lumix cameras (GH5, GH5S, GH4 etc). Bzt as we all know the perfect camera doesn't exist, and it's all about context and usage. ;)

    Do you ever feel limited by the 10-bit 4:2:2 because of the lower mbps? I think this is the camera I'll upgrade to from my G80 but I don't want it to feel like a marginal upgrade, I want to really edit my footage a lot without it falling apart for example but I also want IBIS which is why I don't go BlackMagic.

    • @RedFrameTech

      I don’t really feel limited by the bit rate. I do notice a difference compared to the GH6, but that’s also a dynamic range thing.
      You can get more out of the G9 by recording to an atomos ninja v in prores (higher bit rates). Then you get high bit rates AND an awesome camera with great IBIS.
      You can push around the G9’s VlogL images quite a bit already though

    Bought my G9 on sale in April and use it with my GX9 for stills and with my G80 for video. Still learning. While I understand some of features that other users are interested in, for my purposes 1080 is enough..I would just want the max record tine to be increased from 30 to 60 minutes.

    I love my GX8 with the tilting EVF that I miss when using the G9. I was a little bit frustrated of the reaction time of Autofoc8s when using the 100-300mm lens. Since a week I have the Leica 100-400mm and I am satisfied now, especially for birds in fly pictures.
    What I really miss is the live composite mode (like M1 or G91). I still hope for a firmware update.
    Another function for a successor would be a Astrofoto mode with tracking with the sensor shift (like K3 Pentax). For holiday usage an extra tracker is often too much material. With greetings from Goettingen/Germany - Ralph

    Please bare with me.
    I sold my Canon 6DMk2 (1083 shutters since January this year - I couldn’t stand it) and bought the Lumix G9 (with LP 12-60mm + LP 100-300mm).
    The reason, even if the model is some years old, was the camera’s weather sealing, its fps and how fantastic clever it is.
    I’ve used Nikon since the 80’s and switched to Sony α-models in 2013. But I wanted a camera that could stand the weather, which led me to the Canon. Which I hated. It was heavy like a boulder with a 24-105mm, and it stayed at home. I brought my tiny Sony α6000 instead, but it lacks some features. And isn’t something to use in rain or lousy weather.
    I scrutinized the web for a good camera. Not too expensive, nor some cheap stuff. I got very attached to what I read about G9, and eventually I went to a dealer here in Stockholm and bought it. (People are so keen having the latest and most expensive, but I couldn’t care less).
    The price is still pretty high for such an “old camera”, but you get quality and technology.

    IS is one of the reasons I switched from the A6400. The ergonomics are not that great for my hands, still prefer my a7iii. On the wishlist would be a slightly bigger sensor (the one from the GH6) and Sony level AF. The touch screen and menu are of course much better than on Sony. I decided to go for the G9 over the GH5 because of the high res mode for stills and apparently slightly better AF. Price of the bodyand lenses is also easier on the wallet than with Sony. Also nice that Panasonic provides FW updates which actually add features, again an area where Sony is lagging. In summary I would say that the G9 is definitely still worth it in 2022. The only 'downside' is that there's not a lot of YT channels on the G9 compared to say the a6400. It's definitely a camera which even today deserves more attention.

    • @RedFrameTech

    Hoi Sebastiaan. Ik overweeg toch een G9 naast of een GH5mk2 ipv mijn GH5. Mijn videostijl is run/gun/point/shoot, bvk in AF.
    De 5mk2 heeft de S5 AF en 6.5 stops IBIS gekregen. De G9 een grote update, fw 2.4 geloof ik.
    Mijn vraag. Is de G9 AF gelijk aan de 5mk2/S5 in detectie EN AF overall?
    Mijn G9 overwegingen zijn de prijs, geen streaming/All Intra nodig.
    Dankjewel, Frans/Bali 😀

      Hoi Frans. De IBIS van de G9 is vergelijkbaar met de GH5ii, zelfde aantal stops. Verder is de AF ook vergelijkbaar met de GH5ii, beter dan de GH5. De G9 is inderdaad voor een lage prijs te vinden en is een uitstekende camera voor video. Ik gebruik mijn G9 nog steeds wekelijks. Het enige minpunt is de opname limiet van een half uur..

      Hoi Sebastiaan, dank voor je reactie en hulp bij mijn keuze. In juni ben ik weer een paar maanden in NL en zal dan een G9 zoeken met V Log voor de waveform.
      Btw, in een camera setup bijdrage heb ik je advies gezien de sound limiter eraf te halen om vervorming te voorkomen, heb ik gedaan. Ik heb met de boel van -4db naar -12db mogen zetten voor mijn Rode Me mic, 👍
      Ook heb ik functieknoppen toegekend aan AF far en near. Echter, in huis met near en een object in focus op 1m lukt wel. Als ik dan naar een object op 4m ga is er eerst geen focus. Hou ik de camera langer hierop gericht kruipt de focus naar in focus. Morgen ga ik verder met buiten testen, was vandaag nog geen succes. Ik maak gebruik van 1 area en 225. De functieknoppen werken wel, maar houden de instelling niet goed vast. Ik heb nog geen opnames gemaakt, misschien zit daar het punt. Wel gewoon droog proberen.
      Verder lijkt mij deze functie het voor portaal van de focus limiter op de GH6. Wat denk jij?

    So far I've not been happy with the results of my GH5 or GH6 because the noise is shocking, and I'm hoping that the G9 will be a big improvement.
    I have only one decent astro photo on the Flickr website that I'm happy with shot on my GH6. Its titled "Milky Way over Ribble Head Viaduct". I'm hoping a G9 will do better without having to resort to a full-frame camera and expensive glass.

      Could you elaborate on why you find it funny? It is no cheat or hack. It’s just something you can do for longer recordings đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

      @RedFrameTech It's all good, you didn't get the joke...you were talking about how the Sony is more expensive and I was talking about how the price doesn't matter, it's the Unlimited recording without overheating that matters to me

      Thanks for your kind and enlightening comment..
      However, if you had watched the whole video you’d know that it does in fact shoot 10bit 422 internally up to 30p. Same as the GH5.
      And as far as ‘professional’ goes; it is as ‘professional’ as the GH5, whatever that may mean. I have done many professional shoots with it.
      I do know the difference very well, as I used a GH5 many times. Both are great cameras. And yes, it’s a great camera for YT as well. So is the GH5.
      So, before you post such a comment, do your research, sir..

    Why would a great camera suddenly not still be great? New features? Lol. All hype.

      Yeah it is a great camera, isn’t it? Especially with all the new features added over the years. Have a great day!
