The Camera Store TV takes on the Panasonic G9 along with Joe Desjardins and it’s kind of interesting that he doesn’t particularly use the silent shutter. Their opinion kind of mirrors mine about 20 fps cameras that they can be almost irresponsibly fast to shoot and Joe found himself pressing the shutter button often firing off shots by accident due to its light press to shoot so he tends to use the mechanical shutter so he knows the camera is firing. Cameras like the Sony a9 and Panasonic G9 are almost too fast and while useful at times can fill up cards entirely too quickly. The Panasonic G9 sounds like a great camera, but I think 20fps is plenty for anyone lets hope we don’t end up in an fps war going foward.

The Panasonic GH5S is currently in stock and shipping. It should be interesting to see how widely adopted this camera becomes since it is far more specialized than the Panasonic GH5, but it does offer an undeniable improvement in low light performance.
Philip Bloom put together a great low light comparison of the Panasonic GH5S, Sony a7SII, and Sony a7RIII cameras. Youtube isn’t the best way to judge so he also made the files available via his dropbox here. I have to admit I go back and forth on a few of these shots, but I think I would really like to see this footage pushed a little more.
