They Were Wrong About the Lumix S9

#lumix #lumixs9
Is the Panasonic Lumix S9 actually the best camera for content creators in 2025/2026? Despite the initial controversy, this camera might be the best dollar-for-dollar value on the market right now.

In this review, we test the Lumix S9 Limited Edition (Champagne Titanium Gold) to see if the "dealbreakers" like the lack of a mechanical shutter or EVF actually matter in the real world. We also test the 6K Open Gate capabilities, Real Time LUTs, and whether overheating is still an issue for daily use.

In This Video:

The Aesthetic: A close look at the triple-layer Champagne Gold finish.
The Controversy: Why the missing mechanical shutter isn't a dealbreaker.
Top Features: Using Real Time LUTs and Class-Leading IBIS.
The Reality: Overheating, single SD card slots, and vlogging.
