Lumix GX9

[TheClacks]

I have a Lumix GX85 and I am tempted by the GX9 (if only so I don't keep touching the screen with my nose when using the EVF!) but it's hard to find in Perth Australia.

Has the GX9 been discontinued? I wonder if I should make the leap to the G95 is there, much to be gained going to the G95 and sacrificing the portability I have with the GX85?

This site says the GX9 is discontinued.

Thanks Dan. That is a good price.

I've read a lot of people disappointed by the EVF. Is it a downgrade from the GX85?

Not necessarily. It just depends on how sensitive your eyes are to sequential field scan. My eyes apparently are super sensitive to it, so it's a no go. For other people, it's not an issue at all.

Best to try it out first if you can. I picked up my GX9 as a consignment sale at a local photo lab with less than 1000 shutter clicks. Having read the review here & noting the discussion about the EVF, I tried it out in the shop. Wasn't an issue for me, so I now have a more inconspicuous second body to go with my G9.

Retailers listed on panasonic us site listing for $797.99, with the 12-60 kit lens, which i like for stills but too stiff for video.

I absolutely adore mine, so I am completely biased. If I had a choice now, however, I'd spring for the G95 (but only because of the weather sealing).







The sensor is fantastic, however.

Nice shot! Does that have much post processing?

A slight exposure bump (+0.12 in Lightroom), a slight contrast bump (+15), and a very slight blue channel desaturate (-0.05) to mitigate blue cast from my polarizer.
