We had the opportunity to use the new Panasonic S9 for several days at Panasonic’s Lumix Summit in Osaka, Japan. In this short video, we take a closer look at the camera, who it’s designed for, and the philosophy behind its LUT-based workflow.
If you’re curious about how the camera performs for photography, check out our pre-production sample gallery from Japan. As always, all the Raw files are available to download if you wish to see how your preferred software handles them.

We make the originals available for private users to download to their own machines for personal examination or printing (in conjunction with this review); we do so in good faith, so please don’t abuse it.
