We will know for sure in a couple of days, but I suspect this will cost about $1500 with the f8 kit lens now rumored, which will give a younger audience an introduction to L-mount, and for better or worse Panasonic’s menu system. And that’s why they build cameras like this, in hopes that a few users eventually upgrade to the next level and buy an S5II and more S lenses. What I’m curious to see is whether they include some form of open gate filming. The teaser video is all verticals and this might suggest it. 9:16 without having to hold the camera sideways might be a winner. We will see.
I'm not sure if I could be LESS interested in this predicted camera! It will still be expensive and the video people will still buy Sony. No EVF - no sale.
It sound like a slightly newer FP with ibis and flippy screen. Tbh I'm not that interested in the body, but I'll probably buy the compact lenses to slap on my fp 😂 I'm probably crazy but I'd be interested in it if it was a fpL competition with 50mpx instead of 25. Ibis and better autofocus would make it an upgrade, but I'm not willing to downgrade the resolution. After using the fpL for a long time, the compact body even with a big lens is actually a huge quality of life improvement. I can slap on the external evf and a 100-400, or I can throw on a wide angle and teat it like a disposable camera, all in the same package.
@@CianMcsweeney full frame is far more important than a viewfinder. Flippy screen is also more important than an evf, providing the auto af is good enough, and it will be!
@@18yearsoldnot for what? 😂 I have both full frame and apsc cameras and there really isn't that much of a difference in quality these days unless you're obsessed with bokeh. A viewfinder, for photography at least is essential for framing shots properly
@@CianMcsweeney I have a few cameras too and I never use the evf. Are you long sighted or a hipster? 😜 full frame in my experience is way better for landscapes - especially when there’s bright snow that’ll clip the highlights or even in the evening when you want to capture sunsets
lumix looking for a trendy money grab and not appealing to their core audience

Panasonic’s menu system is just fine. From what rumors are saying there will be a cleaner more basic menu system for the S9.
If it had an evf it wouldve been a winner, without it, I think its too divisive, some will love it some will hate it

So… similar to the Sigma FP then.
I really want a small L-mount body I can use for travel, so this is perfect for me.

Congrats on lasting 20mn with no more info than the thumbnail.
lol!
If this camera 1500 bucks or less its a great deal to me
Will it do landscape photography well? If it does, and is $2000 ausd or near, I'll order.
Let the Camera come out first !! 😂
The hype cow must be milked
@@wanderingsandmusings9255 🤣, Get it Bro !!
The important thing is it beats the Fuji x100vi. The Fuji is probably going to be the same price mate
Without a viewfinder? I don't think so, most of the user experience of the x100 comes from it's hybrid ovf/evf
