The latest release from Panasonic’s Lumix camera division is its new flagship Micro Four Thirds (M43) mirrorless camera, the Lumix G9 Mark II.
Remarkably, it has been six years since the original G9 was released, and it’s exciting to see just how many technical advancements have taken place in that time. Today, our expectations for our cameras have never been higher.
I was an early adopter of the G9, and as much as I loved it, it had begun to feel like a bit of a dinosaur when compared to other cameras on the market, especially so with the release of OM System’s flagship OM-1, which really pushed the M43 format forward.
So with a new body design, a new autofocus system, and a new sensor, on paper at least, the updated G9 II ticks a lot of boxes on my wishlist for a M43 camera.
So look at what sets the G9 II apart.
