It's so funny (now that I'm making a return to photography on a separate camera) that I apparently had my heart set on a camera that's been causing strife and discord in the online photography circles, and here's me going, ooh I love Lumix (menus)! But I think I've been waiting for something like the S9, but of course I'm speaking as someone whose first proper digital camera spend is a Panasonic... Almost two decades ago. The only time I strayed is during the micro 4/3s era and for the form factor I went with an Olympus (then later a Fujifilm) and then I thought I could depend on smartphones because the Lumixes I could afford were always too bulky, so 2 birds 1 stone.

But now am back on the wagon. Didn't mean to make a post but I've been so bemused at the rep this camera got. It's great and all the design compromises worked out imo, and the killer features are genuinely killer #photography #lumix #lumixS9 #cats #sigmaLens

@[email protected] for sure! Good IBIS is what brought me to m43 in the first place - I didn’t know how much I would appreciate reasonably sized weatherproofed gear until somewhat later. So most of my bodies have been Olympus with some of my most used lenses from Panasonic.

So the L mount systems with first party lenses from multiple vendors, ok effectively Sigma and Panasonic, is a rather appealing factor for me.

Your kitty photos look like so much fun! Our dogs have put up with a lot of my playtime with fast primes just because the combos are small enough to fidget with and bright enough use indoors at night.

So. Much. Fun!

@[email protected] ahhh such a cute doggy! For me, this is going to be a new era... Where I'll actually put money in buying separate lenses 😂 can't wait! (That was my dream when i was in my m43 too but my economics didn't work out and then I told myself let's focus on smartphones instead but I'm definitely hitting the limit of what I can enjoy from them lol and luckily in time to enjoy the advances in the design, not to mention the nostalgia for compact designs)
