It was universally lamented with the GX9 that the excellent viewfinder of the GX8 had been lost. This is not a miracle cure for that but it certainly helps. It's usable with glasses but I suspect would really come into its own without them. It fits well and there is a useful security string.

I've had this camera for a week now and it is superb, images are very sharp. I have been using the 14-140 lens from any earlier purchase. Positives: No low pass filter which gives sharper images; not seen any sign of moire patterning. The improved stabilisation seems to be working very well.

One of the promises of mirrorless cameras was, well, smaller cameras. And, yes, the premium models (see here and here ) from the Panasonic Lumix G Series are a little smaller than many DSLRs. But the Panasonic Lumix DC-GX9 is the one that combines high quality and compactness.

Compact quality; the ability to use fancier lenses; a wealth of advanced features including focus stacking and pre-burst

Slow photo transfer speeds

The GX9 has only just been released in Australia yet already, local online re-sellers have begun to discount. Listed on-line prices range from AU$1198 and AU$1300 with the 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.

Love it or hate it, smartphone cameras have been nothing short of a game-changer for travel cameras like Panasonic's flagship GX range. The gulf between the things you can capture with a full-frame shooter and the things you can shoot with Google Pixel is large enough to justify owning both.

Good image quality; Lots of control

Not weatherproof; A lot of indirect costs (lenses; etc

Just received a few days ago and put it though about 150 pictures and some video recording. The control layout is far better than my GX85 that it is replacing, and the picture and video quality is really good for an M4/3 camera - with the same lens, it is indistinguishable from my G9's pictures.

Panasonic has announced their latest GX camera, the GX9. It's been 10 years since Panasonic first introduced its first mirrorless G series of cameras. Ten years! Think about how far mirrorless cameras have come in that timeframe.

1st in Mirrorless innovation, LUMIX by Panasonic leads in Mirrorless ILC camera innovation with sleek, compact cameras like the LUMIX GX9. Its flat body style is favored by LUMIX G enthusiasts and noted for high image quality and the streetwise creative freedom it delivers.

A great little camera, ideal if you are into street photography as it is small enough to be carried in a pocket.Much better image quality than a mobile phone and the lens is interchangeable.At the time of purchase the price charged was unbeatable by any other seller.Very pleased with this purchase.

Panasonic Lumix GX9 Review (DC-GX9K) – I had a chance to review the Panasonic Lumix GH5 flagship camera in the past and it was a total video camera powerhouse. This time, Panasonic had kindly sent me another unit in the compact camera line: the Panasonic Lumix GX9 DC-GX9K . And here are my thoughts.
