Pick Your Perfect MomentBy simply selecting a single frame from a video sequence (shot at 30 fps) in-camera, 4K Photo lets you choose the perfect moment to save as a high-res image with approx. 8-megapixel resolution. Record what intrigues you, then select and save for images just for envisioned them. |
20.3MP Pixel-perfect PhotosShoot away night and day with clarity and confidence with a high-performance 20.3-megapixel Digital Live MOS sensor for ultra-detailed imaging. With the removal of the low-pass filter from the sensor, the LUMIX GX9 delivers natural imagery with a high-dynamic range and artifact-free results. |
Tiltable MonitorA large 3.0-in., approx. 1240k-dot static-type touchscreen monitor gives you a near field of view. And it tilts 80 degrees up for framing high-angle shots of people gathered in crowds like parties and parades, and 45 degrees down for framing low-angle imaging when shooting subjects near ground level. |
Film-Like MonochromeAdd an evocative, of a classic B&W film feeling to your images with L. Monochrome D. In addition to Monochrome and L. Monochrome, each mode can be combined with Grain Effect levels of Low, Standard or High. With the popular appeal of pre-digital, monochrome film at your fingertips, rich black tones and grainy textures make everyday scenes and subjects all the more alluring. |

These optional, precision-crafted additions to the tools of your trade and passion are designed and built to the highest quality standards for years of continuous use, everywhere the creative process takes you.

Product Description
First in Mirrorless innovation, LUMIX by Panasonic leads in Mirrorless ILC camera innovation with the sleek, compact 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. The LUMIX GX9 captures vibrant, true-to-life, high-quality images with excellent resolution, high contrast and impressive color reproduction. The 20.3-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor (without low-pass filter) ensures maximum performance across a full range of LUMIX G and LEICA DG Micro Four Thirds lenses.The LUMIX GX9 incorporates 5-axis Dual I.S. (Image Stabilizer) to more effectively suppress blur. Combining an O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) and a B.I.S. (Body Image Stabilizer, 5-axis), the 5-axis Dual I.S. compensates for a wider-than-ever range of movement. Users can enjoy blur-free photo/video shooting from wide to tele, even in low-light situations. The LUMIX GX9 integrates an electromagnetic drive in the shutter unit to reduce the shock created by the movement of shutter diaphragm by approx. 90% compared with its predecessor, while also minimizing shutter sound.

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. It was a nice combo, IQ is great for my needs. But the weight and size... I hike and travel a lot so decided to get something smaller and got Lumix LX100. Awesome little camera. Loved the manual dials and it was tiny. Could not tell difference in IQ between that and Nikon as long as you don't zoom/crop and don't go above ISO 1600.
After a short while with LX100 I realized I want longer zoom and started looking into ILC again. Was thinking to get GX85 with 12-35mm and 45-150mm or PEN-F with 12-40mm and 45-150mm. PEN-F is beautiful but I use tripod a lot and their screw mount is positioned oddly. Besides that meant getting bigger lens (12-40 vs 12-35) and additional hand grip possibly.
GX9 is a bit better and newer than GX85 and price difference is not that big considering you get 12-60 (~$300 value).
So I went for GX9 and finally arrived (12-60mm kit lens for sale). Got 12-35mm already. I really like the way it feels in my hand, very solid and good grip. I liked EVF in LX100 and GX9 has the same which is fine with me. I know most of you think it's horrible compared to others but I have nothing to compare it to, thus I like it. Focus is fast but that doesn't matter to me much. IBIS is awesome which comes in handy when using long zoom. I think it performs very well at ISO 3200, I was surprised. The tilt screen is nice, don't care much for tilt EVF but it is handy sometimes. Enough custom buttons for my needs and manual dials are handy.
Not much else to say. It is a camera and it can take gorgeous photos if you know what you doing, as well, it's easy to use. I like it a lot :)
Here are some samples. All of them shot RAW and lightly processed in LR. The clock shot is at ISO3200 hanheld.

The battery that camera with the body seems to have a shorter life than the second battery I bought as a backup. It is possible that may improve with use, but only maybe.
Manual focus is not as easy as it might be, even with the peaking feature on. But, auto focus appears to be accurate. Chose your target carefully. The tilling viewfinder was a plus in deciding to buy this particular model and has proven to be useful. As a former medium format shooter angled viewfinders are more to my liking.
I would recommend the camera, but caution you to expect some time learning to use it. I am a Canon shooter and the ergonomics are quite different. Even so, I grow more content with the GX9 as it use it.
Has a more boxy shape then the similar GX85 and offers (very slightly) better color rendering and IQ, tho you will have to pixel peep to see it.
Consider it more of a baby step advance vs a full step, with regards to the GX85.
The GX85, in my opinion, is one of those rare 4/3rds cameras that gets all the important stuff exactly right, and the GX9 sort of adds a tiny bit of techno sweetening to that firmly established excellent pie.
The GX9's Screen is excellent, user friendliness is very good, and indoor photos in low light are in general above average and pleasing.
Quick AF, and menus are fairly easy to navigate.
The look of the photos, to my eye, are more similar to the more recent Sony's then the more recent Canon's.
Im running mine with some Prime Olympus & Pany glass, and actually have only used the supplied tele lens for a few mins and its surprisingly above average, and its quite light.
I posted 2 photos for you, taken with my GX9's picture setting set to "Standard", the contrast is +1, Saturation is +1, and the Sharpness is 5/7.
The IQ is quite sharp at this setting..... take a good look at the 2 photos, and know these are straight Jpegs out of the camera.
The first is a grey sandstone angel that is about 20" high, and the second photo is a miniature blown glass Ram, that is about 2.5 inches high.
Look at the detail of the glass Ram, = fluorescent kitchen lighting, "P", everything on "auto".
This camera is pretty much "set it and forget it", indoors or out.
Is there a downside?......I'd give the camera' grip a C, & the battery door is fiddly vs smart..
I think that if you like the Pany products, like the LX100, or any of their more recent camera, then this one is going to continue your good feelings.
It is a $1000 camera, so they are not exactly giving it away, but you do get a pretty darn good glass as well as a nice instrument for taking quick, easy, good looking pics.
One last thing.
This camera is not designed for selfies.
Its designed for photography, so, keep that in mind.

All kidding aside, this is a sharp camera, it's compact and had lots of great features.
Also managed to make it work as a webcam with a battery adapter, and some extra hardware.
