    Panasonic has a few baskets. The recent release of the good looking Dlux 8 (same time release as S9) is a rebadge of lumix lx100 and is using 43 sensors. This dlux 8 looks more promising as a competitor to X100 family.

    https://petapixel.com/2024/05/23/the-new-leica-d-lux-8-is-a-familiar-premium-camera-with-a-facelift/ In the meantime, Leica probably works with lumix to come out this Dlux8 using m43 sensor. The demand for premium compact is really heating up.

    It's a joke to say S9 is to compete with X100. One of the unique selling pt of X100 family is the hybrid viewfinder. And the S9 has non.

    The goodness of FF sensor crippled by a f8 lens. Thats what the mass wants i guess.

    Hope with this S9, Lumix will use the same body and put a 43 sensor and become a GM1 mark2. Same as G9ii uses the same S5ii body with a m43 sensor. S9 look small because of the f8 pancake lens. Putting a reasonable bright FF lens makes it big.

    And nobody acknowledges that cropped sensor like m43 or APSC did a better job than to crop a FF.

    Fuji X100 is special and no brand can recreate unless a direct copy cat. The Dual OVF/EVF although to me is useless is special in the photo industry. The film simulations coming from Fuji past films experience and the leaf shutter sound it made when a photo is shot are unique to X100. People...

    Its a good news to existing OM1 users and also will help to sell the last remaining Om1 (price is dropping). This Om1 mark1 is still an amazing camera especially for wildlife.

    The Om1 mark 2 build-in Grad ND feature is actually a great tool and is the first in the market. No need to buy expensive filter or even the adapters for those ultra wide angle lens in the m43 linesup. The good filters set can cost up to $1k. The Pro-capture capture was first introduced in 2016...
