About this deal

This has been recently replaced with the Panasonic G9 II - would be a nice upgrade for someone already on the Panasonic or OM/Olympus systems. Was the flagship Panasonic Micro Four Thirds body at launch. It has a Magnesium alloy weather sealed body with a pair of UHS-II SD card slots. Lowest price it has been on Amazon since 2022.

Key Features

  • Innovative features mean the G9 delivers high-quality images to make your subject shine. A 20.3 megapixel digital live MOS sensor combines with the latest Venus processing engine to bring you superb detail, as well as low noise, fantastic colours and brightness.
  • Capture every moment thanks to new dfd-auto focus with Burst mode delivering the world’s fastest AF. Take advantage of advanced tracking performance, shooting at fastest-in-class 20fps with continuous AF for super-speedy subjects.
  • The focus locks in just 0.04 seconds and tracks motion continuously, helping you make the most of those opportunities that appear and disappear in the blink of an eye.
  • Shoot with confidence thanks to dual image stabilisation. Lumix G lenses are much more compact than equivalent DSLR lenses, giving you the flexibility to shoot from a distance with a telephoto lens and still keep things crisp.
  • When speed is of the essence, use the innovative 6K photo function to catch the unexpected. Shoot a sequence at 30 frames per second, then extract the best moment (in-camera) as an up to 18 megapixel JPEG.
  • A new high resolution mode delivers 80 megapixel (equivalent) images in both JPEG and raw - Ideal for landscape, macro and nature photographers.
  • Incredible detail and depth is rendered by combining 8 images taken while shifting the sensor - just make sure your subject stays still for the duration of the shot.
  • A large and bright viewfinder offers a high magnification ratio of 0.83x, with zero blackout even when shooting at high speeds. Unlike a dslr’s viewfinder, you get live updates and a 100% view. Focusing is a breeze thanks to three modes of magnification.
  • The LUMIX G9 is Freeze, splash and dustproof and has been designed with photographers’ needs in mind. There’s USB charging, Dual SD card slots with high speed UHS-II/ V90 card compatibility, a joystick, status LCD and a large ergonomic grip.
  • Much smaller and lighter than a DSLR, the G9 is ideal for travelling light while still capturing high-quality images. Image quality is RAW, RAW plus Fine, RAW plus Standard, Fine, Standard

    I own DMC-G7 would this be considered a worthwhile update?

    G9 mk1 has bern been my main travel camera for the last 4 years. Now I've got S5II which is much heavier and bigger, wish G9II wasn't same body and smaller... But G9 stills autofocus is really great.

    Good price. Still my favourite camera despite picking up its full frame siblings.

    Doesn't look bad for the money, just the SD card slot rubber missing.

    The weather sealing is a nice touch. Gives me peace of mind in unpredictable conditions.

    Got this and the 12-35 Lumix lens for £1000 about a year ago.

    hotukdeals.com/dea…543

    Its a great camera and about £1000 less than the Mk2

    There are quite a few used ones out there as users have upgraded to the G9Mk2.
    Stick the 12-60 Lumix lens on it and you have a weather sealed powerhouse.

    The OM5 is a lightweight body and the G9 is a larger higher end body with better build:

    The autofocus is better on the G9 and you get dual SD card slots. (edited)

    At this price, surely the APS-C Sony ZVE-10 would be a better buy?

    They're very different cameras. It would depend on what you're using it for.

    The Sony is compact, no EVF, vlogging focussed, larger sensor.

    The G9 is big and more ergonomic, excellent EVF, weather sealed, top screen, massive lens ecosystem, IBIS, much faster burst shooting, pre-shooting, full size HDMI for use in a rig, higher bitrate video, dual card slots, UHS-II support. It is more focussed to professional stills use and higher end video capture. It would be a pretty bad vlogging camera.

    Different tools for different purposes. (edited)

    If you like the screen at the top of the G9 MK1, and aren't 100% dependent on good video autofocus, it's definitely worth having

    I found the S5 MK1 fabulous but there was no point sharing anything output with it because people would just go "that's pretty, is that AI?"

    Yeah nah
