πŸ”₯Snag a pexar digital photo frame! https://s.whaee.com/09JbNla πŸ™Œ Support on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/zachariahmayfield The Lumix S9 is one of the most difficult cameras I've ever reviewed. The marketing around this camera had the sweaty sausage fingers of camera enthusiasts pounding their keyboards in a brutal riot just 5 months ago. I was one of the few youtube camera shills that had the courage to purchase the S9 with my very own money, in hopes that it would become my perfect daily pocket camera for both photography and video. After all this time... who is this camera actually for? Do it's jam packed features outweigh its critical flaws? Are there actually lenses that keep it compact? I should probably answer these questions in this video.
