Review on Panasonic LUMIX GX9 4K Mirrorless ILC Camera Kit with 12-60mm F3.5-5.6 Power O.I.S. Lens, DC-GX9MK (USA Black) by Jimmy Garcia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good camera, not a perfect manual.

The camera works very well, the 12-60 lens is pretty sharp (tested on a tripod). The instructions are sometimes a bit unclear and it may take you some time to get familiar with all the possibilities. But if used correctly, the device will not disappoint you. The battery in the camera body seems to have a shorter lifespan than the second battery I bought as a backup. Maybe it can improve with use, but it's only possible. Manual focusing isn't as easy as it could be, even with peaking turned on. But the autofocus seems to be accurate. Choose your destination carefully. The tilting viewfinder was a plus in the decision to purchase this particular model and proved useful. As a former medium format photographer, I prefer angled viewfinders. I would recommend this camera but I warn you that it will take you some time to learn how to use it. I'm a Canon photographer and the ergonomics are very different. However, I'm happier with the GX9 for using it.
