It has a compact body design similar to the GX80 or older GX7, but with a 20MP sensor including 5-axis in-body stabilisation, and a tilting electronic viewfinder.<\/p>\n<h3>Panasonic Lumix DC-GX9 at a glance:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a3699 body only<\/li>\n<li>20.3MP Four Thirds sensor<\/li>\n<li>ISO 100-25600 (extended)<\/li>\n<li>2.76m-dot tilting EVF<\/li>\n<li>1.24m-dot 3in tilting touchscreen<\/li>\n<li>5-axis Dual IS<\/li>\n<li>4K video recording<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Panasonic has experimented with making mirrorless cameras in a wider range of shapes and sizes than any other manufacturer, exemplified by its flat-bodied GX line. The GX1 was a box-shaped camera with no built-in viewfinder and a fixed LCD, while its successor, the much-loved GX7, was a slightly larger design with a tilting electronic viewfinder and tilting screen. The current GX8 is an altogether bulkier and more complex beast, with a fully-articulated screen and large tilting EVF. The mid-range GX80 is similar in size and layout to the GX7, but with a fixed finder.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_116961&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Panasonic_GX9-black-top-49217.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-116961 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Panasonic_GX9-black-top-49217-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic Lumix DC-GX9\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The GX9 is similar in size to the GX80, but gains a top-plate exposure compensation dial<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>With the new GX9, Panasonic has listened to its users and made what many will see as a true successor for the GX7. It combines many of the best bits of the GX8 and GX80, while adding in all of the firm\u2019s latest technology, including its latest 5-axis Dual IS system and a 20.3MP sensor with the same improved colour processing as the high-end G9. In the process, it\u2019s come up with an extremely attractive little camera that should appeal strongly to enthusiast photographers.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, the GX9 uses the same compact-bodied design as the GX7 and GX80, with a tilting screen and corner-mounted viewfinder. Like these cameras it has twin electronic control dials, one around the shutter button and the other embedded into the camera\u2019s back. But it adds in a number of enthusiast-friendly controls from the GX8, including an exposure-compensation dial nested below the exposure-mode dial, and a focus-mode selector switch on the back.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_116963&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Panasonic_GX9-inhand-50241.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-116963 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Panasonic_GX9-inhand-50241-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic Lumix DC-GX9\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Panasonic has included a tilting viewfinder in the GX9<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>There\u2019s an array of buttons arranged around the camera\u2019s robust-feeling body, giving plenty of direct access to the most-used functions. The GX9 features Panasonic\u2019s well-designed touch interface for changing settings and browsing though images in playback. The touchscreen also be used for positioning the focus point, even when you&#8217;re using the viewfinder.<\/p>\n<p>As usual for Panasonic, the camera is capable of 4K video recording, although it lacks the microphone and headphone ports found on the GX8. But it gains a few new additions to the firm\u2019s useful 4K Photo mode; the camera will auto-mark its suggested best shot in a burst, and can create composite images by combining selected frames from a sequence.<\/p>\n<p>Available in black and silver versions, the GX9 is due to go on sale in early March for an attractive \u00a3699 body-only. Customers who pre-order will also get the tempting sweetener of a free Lumix G 25mm f\/1.7 ASPH lens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30MP sensor and tilting viewfinder in compact body design<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":362,"featured_media":116964,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[724,1345,484,606],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-116953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news","tag-compact-system-camera","tag-gx9","tag-homepage","tag-panasonic"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
