I received my G9 with the LEICA 12-60 and 8-18 and all I can say Panasonic got it right.

Been shooting Nikon crop and FF gear for years and still love my D810 BUT the G9 is a beauty of camera. Only had time to play with it indoors and OMG is the AF fast and the speed the camera operates is simply amazing.

From the build quality to the ergonomics. The grip is deep but not too deep, the overall button layout is for my medium sized hand spot on and I can’t believe saying this but the EVF is miles better than shooting through my D810 viewfinder.

I have two Of the 300MB/s SanDisk 64GB cards in the body and the buffer clears like mad.

Now i need to find a good new bag for the set I have and need to figure out what features I assign to the fn buttons that would be best suited to my shooting style.

Its an expensive camera but I did not regret this purchase.

Anyone got any view on a camera bag? Looked at the PeakDesign sling 10L or the Tenba DNA 11.
