Alternatively you can extract 18 or 8 Megapixel JPEG stills from the 6k or 4k photo modes at 30fps or 60fps respectively. The Lumix G9 is also about speed, boasting 20fps with continuous autofocus and a 50-frame RAW buffer using the electronic shutter or 60fps with single AF switch to the mechanical shutter and you’ll get 9fps with continuous AF and a 60-frame RAW buffer or 12fps with single AF. In a first for a Lumix G body there’s a backlit LCD status screen on the top surface and a front-mounted custom function lever (for switching between banks of settings), and the G9 also boasts the largest viewfinder to date with 3680k dots and 0.83x magnification the view’s so large you can switch to lower 0.77x or 0.7x magnifications if preferred.

The newly-designed weatherproof body (with a red ring between the mode and drive dials to indicate the flagship status) features a fully articulated touchscreen, AF joystick, twin SD card slots (both exploiting UHS-II speed), a USB-3 port exploited by supplied tethering software (the port can also be used for charging as well as providing power), a full-size HDMI port, along with microphone, headphone and PC Sync ports. This has also allowed Panasonic to implement a tripod-based composite High Resolution mode that captures and combines eight images to boost detail and eliminate false colour artefacts, generating 40 or 80 Megapixel files.

Panasonic’s tuned the output though with improved JPEG processing for more natural skin tones, greater detail and better noise reduction, and has also improved the built-in 5-axis stabilisation from 5.5 to 6.5 stops. The Lumix G9 inherits the 20 Megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor of the GH5 that dispenses with the low pass filter for crisper results. Like all Lumix G bodies to date, the G9 is based on the Micro Four Thirds standard co-developed by Panasonic and Olympus, allowing it to access the largest selection of native mirrorless lenses on the market. Announced in November 2017, it becomes a joint flagship with the Lumix GH5 and while both are very capable at photo and video, Panasonic describes the newer G9 as its ultimate stills camera. Panasonic’s Lumix G9 is a high-end mirrorless camera aimed at enthusiasts, delivering the best photo quality and fastest shooting from a Lumix G body to date.

In use you feel there's little the G9 can't handle and it's highly competitive at the $1699 RRP.

There's little to complain about: you get used to the very sensitive shutter release and visual fluttering during continuous AF, and while the ten minute limit to 4k at 50p or 60p seems mean compared to the GH5, who else even offers 4k at 50p or 60p at this price? Plus you still get half hour clips at 30p. The composite High Res mode genuinely delivers greater detail with the right subjects, there's charging and power over USB, powerful wireless features tied together by Bluetooth, and Panasonic's cunning 6K and 4K photo modes that make it easy to capture a moment before you push the shutter or adjust the focus after the event. The tough weatherproof body feels great in your hands with excellent controls, there's an enormous viewfinder image, a fully-articulated touchscreen with an excellent user interface, fast autofocus and burst shooting that can track action, very effective built-in stabilisation, and great image and video quality from the 20 Megapixel Four Thirds sensor that rivals 24 Megapixel APSC sensors at all but the highest sensitivities. Summary The Lumix G9 is a confident high-performance camera that's a joy to use.
