Panasonic Lumix S9 review: Made for creators and Insta-worthy reels
The Panasonic Lumix S9 is a compact full frame camera which users like content creators who need a good quality camera for high quality videos and photos can pack and go with. However, given its a camera on budget, it might not woo the prosumer...

Panasonic Lumix S9 review: a great shot-snapper with a compact footprint
The Panasonic Lumix S9 is a compact camera with clout, offering brilliant image quality and useful features
Brilliant image quality ; Innovative Open Gate video
No viewfinder ; Crop zoom relies on fiddly touchscreen
The Panasonic Lumix S9 delivers superb image quality and an innovative way to process video without the need for a computer. Sure, the layout is fiddly and, at times, infuriating, but take the time to get used to it and you'll almost certainly reap the...

Hands on: Panasonic Lumix S9 review – small, simple, powerful, flawed
Incredible bang for buck video features, in an all-new body that's not for everyone
Incredible 6K 'open gate' video at this price ; Impressive image stabilization can easily handle run-and-gun filming ; Quick access to Real Time LUTs ; New MP4 Lite file format is smaller and quicker to process
No proper L-mount lenses to truly complement the S9's tiny body ; Photographers will wish for a viewfinder and hotshoe ; No headphone jack ; New companion app needs refining
There's a lot to like about the Panasonic Lumix S9, primarily its superb video features inherited from the Lumix S5 II, our favorite video camera from 2023. You get superb 'open gate' 6K video recording, incredibly effective image stabilization and now...

I took the Panasonic S9 to the Renaissance Fair, and it made my content perfectly Insta-worthy
The Panasonic S9 is a colorful compact mirrorless camera that's easy to learn, but lacks some high-end features.
Compact, colorful design ; Customizable colors using LUTs ; Excellent image quality ; Competative $1,500 body-only price
Lacks a hot shoe slot and mic port ; Missing grip and viewfinder is less comfortable ; Electronic shutter only ; Slower autofocus performance with action
The Panasonic S9 is a compact full-frame mirrorless camera designed for content creators and travelers. The 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor delivers colorful images that can be customized in-camera through the use of custom LUTs. The minimalist design...

Panasonic Lumix S9 review: very compact creator
Are A full-frame sensor and interchangeable lenses in a compact body a recipe for success? The Panasonic Lumix S9 gets plenty right
Fantastic stills and excellent video recording ; Brilliantly compact for a full-frame interchangeable lens camera ; Real-time LUTs great for creativity
No EVF feels like a missed trick ; Companion app not as slick as some rivals ; Battery life not the greatest
About as small as full-frame compacts with swappable lenses get. The Panasonic Lumix S9 takes gorgeous photos and is a capable video camera, but the lack of viewfinder will irk street specialists.
