Which Camera

[RDB85]

So I’ve tried a G9 out at the camera shop. I really like it. But I’ve also seen this.

Which after watching some YouTube reviews it could be what I’m after. But I’m also wanting to get into Photography.

You are still at Square 1 as they are both very different "cameras"

They are. I think I’ll go with the G9. I’ve held one really like it and the staff in the camera shop were really helpful. As I’m looking to get into photography more it gives me more options with lenses and accessories.

Thats not really micro four thirds at least for photography imo. Your limited with artistic creative effects imo. Again may as well use a modern iphone.

My phone doesn’t take good photos. I’d rather use a phone for its intended purpose. A camera for that purpose.

Thats cool, but the camera is about iphone quality.
I think the issue we have, is you don't know enough about photography etc. to know whats going to be important or not. Thats possibly why the G9 looks good to you, looks and feels the part, but personally I'd just rather use a modern phone. You CAN take great pictures with a phone.

That’s the whole point of the thread. I’m getting into photography.

iPhone 17 Pro Camera Review: Rule of Three

iPhone 17 Pro is here, a big upgrade and makeover of the iPhone and its cameras. Is it really as big of a deal as they say?

£1000 on a phone. My old iPhone works just fine.

I may be better if you list your priorities in order. Right now your looking at camera's not so great for photography.

What would you suggest then.

 

[RDB85]

The downside is you can't use flash but you can upgrade body in future.

Lumix S9 + 50mm F1.8 & 20 or 24mm F2.0

Then go from there..

It’s massively over my budget.

Just need to add a lens, and then save for different focal lengths.

Why’s the G9 no good when it seems to get decent reviews online and in the camera shop I visited they said it good.

Another thing, maybe post some links to a photographers pictures you like. Then people here will know what your trying to achieve. i.e. maybe you only want to do landscapes etc. then the recommendations would change again etc.

I like this guys photography.

Small sensor, old contrast detect autofocus. Basically means more noise and a hard time focusing moving things and vlogging. Unless your using VERY fast primes, pictures look like a relatively modern iphone.

Fair enough I’ve ordered one based on the advice of the staff in two camera shops. They do seem to be popular.

 

[RDB85]

Lumix G9? The original with the screen on the top or the G9II?

The G9 with the screen on top.

can you tell me what weight between vlogging / Photography you plan to do?

And what phone do you have? because I can't image why you can't vlog with your phone, if youc an do that then we acn stop looking at these action cams.

I’m looking to do more photography than vlogging. I’ve an iPhone 12 Pro Max.
