GX9... Shoot 4K video and then capture stills from the footage!
2

I use this feature all the time on my GX9.

I shoot 4K video with the Panasonic 45-175mm O.I.S.

Later, I take still images from the footage, all done in the camera from the menu... very quick and easy.

The stills are 3840 x 2160 and 16.9 ... perfect for viewing on your computer or phone or for use in video editing movies for YouTube etc, or for e-mailing to friends and family.

The 4K footage when viewed on a big screen TV is amazing.

I shoot RAW and JPEG.

Later, I experiment in camera with the RAW editor and make further JPEG images from the RAW file... I love the film simulations.

The B&W L Monochrome D simulation is great for street photography.

The auto focus in video on this camera is fabulous when paired with the Olympus 12mm f/2.

I love the look of the Pen F but I have not bought one.

I do not think that the Pen F can do anything better than the GX9... but the GX9 can do many things better than the Pen F.

The GX9 is much cheaper to buy.

Panasonic run great cashback deals. I got £150.00 cashback on my GX9 purchase from Panasonic a couple of months ago,
