BILLED as the ultimate outdoor and wildlife camera, the G9 is Panasonic’s new flagship stills-oriented camera. It joins the company’s video-orientated GH5 and GH5S at the top of the range. While the GH5 previously served as the flagship Lumix camera, it’s a video/stills hybrid that’s never been intended as a direct rival to a similarly priced APS-C DSLR.
