Hey guys, I wanted to share some musings on the Lumix GX9 and share some images.
I’ve been using it as my primary camera since 2020. I bought it to replace my GX8 and I also owned the GX80. I loved different things about both the GX80 & GX8 but to me the GX9 brought together my most of my favourite features in the older 2 models together. The plus points for me were.
The GX9 instantly felt familiar and I've really enjoyed it over the past couple of years. I have it set up perfectly to suit my style and using it is second nature. I never find myself fumbling with settings. I've been really impressed by the output, but then I've never had any issue with the Lumix system in terms of image quality.
I use primes exclusively and 80% of the time I use the PL25mm F1.4. To me it feels great, it balance really well and is probably about as a big as I would want on there. the rest of the time I use the PL15mm F1.7, which is also incredible. I'm always torn between those two lenses.
I love the asthetic of the camera, minimal and stylish and I know this shouldn't be so important, but when I see it I just want to pick it up and use it.
My main use case for this camera is really just to take it with my as often as I can and capture what I find interesting and for that it has been great. I'm not shooting video, so issues such as mic input are not an issue. Battery life could be better but I just carry a couple of batteries with me.
I honestly think I'm set for some time. there is always something newer and shiny to try and take my attention, but then I just just try and focus my energy on creating something interesting rather than chasing the tech. I would recommend this camera!
