Panasonic's Lumix GX9 is a feature-packed mid-range mirrorless camera, featuring a 20 Megapixel Four Thirds sensor that's stabilized within the body, an electronic viewfinder and touchscreen, both of which can tilt vertically, 9fps bursts with continuous autofocus, 4k video with Panasonic's array of...

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.

A bit of my background: I am not a professional photographer and do not have experience with wide variety of gear. Photography is my hobby and 90 percent of it is landscape. To give you an idea check my instagram: place_of_adventures. Until recently I owned Nikon D5500 and Sigma 18-35mm.

In many ways, the Lumix GX9 takes two steps forward over the GX8, but one step (maybe half a step) back.

Compact design; 4K video and 4K Photo modes; Hybrid stabilization system; Responsive touchscreen; Built-in flash; Fast focusing speeds in Single AF

AF selection fiddly; Awkward rear control dial; 16:9 aspect ratio viewfinder; Body isn't weather-sealed

Good image quality; Lots of control

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

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.

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.

With the Lumix GX9, Panasonic has listened to its users and made a rangefinder-style mirrorless camera that many will see as a true successor to the much-loved . It's based on the cheaper but adds many of the best bits of the , while including all of the company's latest technology.
