Rent NowThe Panasonic LUMIX G9 II is a flagship Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera, built for professional photographers and advanced enthusiasts who want speed, precision, and strong video capability from a compact-sensor system. It introduces Panasonic’s first Phase Detection Autofocus system in the LUMIX G lineup, engineered for high-speed, high-resolution imaging alongside robust build quality.
At the core of the G9 II is a newly designed 25.2MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor paired with an updated Venus Engine processor, delivering sharp, detailed stills along with rich tonal gradation and descriptive shadows, particularly when shooting RAW. The camera offers a native ISO range of 100-25600 (expandable to 50-25600). Autofocus uses a 779-point Phase Hybrid AF system combining phase- and contrast-detection, with AI-powered subject recognition covering humans (body, face, eye), animals (body, eye), cars, and motorcycles, along with Real-Time Autofocus Tracking that follows a moving subject within the frame.
Continuous shooting reaches up to 14fps with single autofocus or 10fps with continuous AF using the mechanical/electronic shutter, with RAW burst modes reaching up to 75fps (single focus) or 60fps (continuous AF), plus pre-recording capability for up to 1.5 seconds before the shutter is pressed. The mechanical shutter ranges from 1/8000 to 60 seconds (with bulb exposures up to 30 minutes), while the electronic shutter reaches up to 1/32,000 second. In-body 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization, paired with Dual I.S. 2 when used with a compatible stabilized lens, is rated for up to 7.5-8 stops of correction.
Video capability is a defining strength, with internal recording up to 5.8K at 30p, 4K at up to 120p (C4K/4K 60p in 4:2:2 10-bit), and Full HD up to 240p, along with support for H.264, H.265/HEVC, and Apple ProRes formats, plus direct recording to an external USB-SSD. V-Log/V-Gamut profiles deliver up to 13 stops of dynamic range, with HLG HDR support, anamorphic de-squeeze options (1.33x to 2.0x), and professional tools including a vectorscope, color bars, and timecode. A 100MP handheld high-resolution mode with motion compensation is also available for static subjects.
Handling centers on a 3.68-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder (0.8x magnification, 100% coverage, 60/120fps refresh rate) along with a 3.0-inch, 1.84-million-dot free-angle touchscreen LCD and an 8-way joystick for intuitive control. Build quality includes a robust, weather-sealed (dust- and splash-resistant) magnesium alloy body, dual SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-II) card slots, and built-in Wi-Fi (2.4/5GHz) and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. The camera measures approximately 134.3 x 102.3 x 90.1mm and weighs approximately 658g (including battery and SD card). The G9 II uses the Micro Four Thirds lens mount, giving it access to lenses from Panasonic, Olympus/OM System, and other Micro Four Thirds alliance manufacturers.
