- Just before I left for my Great Migration Photography Tour in Tanzania, I purchased a new Panasonic Lumix GH6. I used it with the Leica/Panasonic 100-400mm zoom, in tandem with my trusty Lumix G9 with 12-60mm. This video looks at the experience of travelling with these two great cameras working side by side, with some first impressions on the GH6. I shot mostly stills but you will see a few video samples as well. Enjoy and be sure to SUBSCRIBE for more on my Panasonic Lumix experiences.

Beautiful photos, incredible
Well, i'm still waiting for the G9 MK2 to release...
Same
I have both of these as well. I bought the Gh6 99% for video but knew it would be able to take great pictures as well. I went on a 2 week trip recently and only took the GH6. I got great video AND photos and didn't feel like I missed out by just having the GH6. To be honest, I use my G9 for video more than photo. Anyway, great video and amazing pictures!
That pic with the shadow of the balloon on top of the zebras is glorious. You should get a prize for that!
Happy to come visit you one day and bring my 100-400 so you can do that side by side even easier
beautiful photos and excellent results with the GH6
Hi Andrew, these are some really amazing shots. I've been eyeing a G9 for a while and clicked on the video to hear your view on the camera. Ended up smiling and tearing up seeing all these beautiful creatures through your eyes. Thank you. 😊
Stunning photos! ❤
great images!
Thanks for the detailed comparison on two of our favourite cameras Andrew. Some spectacular images. We hope you see you explore the video capabilities of the GH6 in the near future!
😊 gracias me encantó el video
As a new G9 owner I really like your channel, great photos.
All the best from Israel.
Beautiful shots Andrew 👍
Wow, great photos! I was already leaning towards the GH6 for video and now am confident that I'll be happy with its photo capabilities as well! Thanks for posting.
Nice videos thanks. The issue with not seeing sharp previews is they same as with the S1. The work around is to shoot in RAW+JPG then you get the hi res JPG as your preview.
I agree, this workaround works fine on the G9.
I guess that the GH6 reads the raw file instead of relying on the embedded jpeg inside the raw file.
your review is always so helpful！Thx a lot！
Great images Andrew. Brought back lots of happy memories in the Masai Mara!
Beautiful images with both cameras. I hope Lumix will continue to develop the G9 with the same attention to detail they've given the GH6 and recent upgrades to their full-frame cameras.
Love this! Jealous...of everything! 🙂
The original G9 is the best camera I’ve ever used can’t wait to see the new G9 mkii
The lion in the tree is my favourite!
Beautiful shots, Andrew; especially liked the 'layback lion lazing in the tree'. Thanks for sharing.

Very informative. Great photos and videos. I'm loving my GH6 and still have my GH5 so I'm anticipating using both bodies with different lenses to avoid the need to change lenses frequently.
About reviewing photos. In my olympus when i shoot raw only it gives me review for small jpg inculded inside RAW file so its same story hard to tell its in pefect focus. It changes when i use RAW+jpg so it review high res jpg file. Maybe its same case with G9.
Some great shots there Andrew. Looks like it was a good trip.
Regarding the BBF adjustment, I have the same issue when I go from using the S5 to the G9. The S5 has the same AF Lock placement as the GH6 so when I switch to my G9 I often find myself hitting the focus area button. I wish they would stick with just one setup!
These are excellent shots, from both cameras.
I've seen photos taken on Ff and Crop sensors on suffari, not as good as these
Even at 400mm they were sharp, shots usually become soft at the furthest range
Ps You definitely made the most of your trip Andrew 📷👍
Well there's a compliment I won't soon forget...many thanks!
Wonderful photos and I like the plan of 2 bodies and 2 zooms with NO lens changes! And comparatively small/light lenses compared to Canon glass!
Wonderful and helpful work! I’m currently using the OM-1 and GH5 (exclusively for video work) and I simply love the M43 system for the work that I do. Thank you 🙏
i own the GH4 and the G9 and the lack of a joystick for moving the focal point i(GH4) can get a little frustrating. It would be nice to have two cameras with similar advances would be nice- of course, I am thankful every time I get my gear out for the gear that I possess. Thanks for sharing.

The G9 only have 1920X1440 embedded previews in their RAW files. That's why.
What software are you using to edit your Panasonic Raw files? My usual software still doesn't support it.
I use Adobe Camera RAW in Photoshop, and have done since long before I moved to Panasonic. It has never given me any trouble with the Lumix RAW files. I have done a couple of videos showing my editing process on a few photos. Here's one: ua-cam.com/video/kbJoSJKB2EI/v-deo.html
Some really beautiful captures and you've certainly captured my attention with the GH-6! What filters were you using, if any, and despite the extra 5 pixels, are you ready to say which do you enjoy, the most, from a photographer's vantage point? Great trip and results.
00:06:53 I suspect the embedded sidecar image of the GH6 is a higher resolution than the G9, or the GH6 opens the full RAW image on review. On the G9 if you shoot RAW + JPG (Low Quality), the review image will be the JPG and you can then zoom all the way in. The disadvantage is that you take up space with the JPG.
Hi Andrew. based on your recommendations I have just bought a GH6. Can you please do a videoon what media - CF & SD you use and your reasons for those choises. Many thanks
Please try DxO Pure Raw for G9 noise and Luminar NEO, Light Room is much longer to post manipulate. You will be glad I told you. I own G9 as well. Love your Videos AG
I've just tested DX0.. OMG, its perfect. Dark arts at work here!
It must have been a fantastic safari. Superb photos and video, the lion in the tree is my favourite, shot with your G9. Good to see your trusty G9 is still holding up well beside the exciting new GH6. Does the GH6 have the Pre-Burst mode?
No preburst mode. It does have the super high speed burst with electronic shutter, but not the pre burst option.
@@naturesimagephotography Many thanks for your reply confirming the GH6 doesn't have the Pre-Burst, I couldn't find it in the manual. After seeing your excellent "Pre-Burst Mode For Bird Photography" video, I'd really miss that feature. Look forward to seeing more of your inspiring videos about the G9 & the GH6 and your beautiful photographs!
Hi Andrew, regarding your remark about the G9 leaning towards magenta , I have adjusted my G9 in camera W B setting which has given me the colours I want /natural colours straight out of the camera. Give it a go.
Hi, thanks for the tip. I am aware I could do this, but because I shoot RAW I can do the colour correction pretty easily in post production. So I never really bothered. It would be more of an issue now that I expect to be shooting more video on the GH6. I know almost nothing about editing video, so the fact the colours come out much better straight out of camera is a bonus.
Your message has given me a reason to go back and look at the WB settings on the G9 and maybe make some adjustments (i.e. time to stop being so lazy!) so thank you.
@@naturesimagephotography I'm the lazy one Andrew, my goal was to not spend so much time in post processing so I've done my best to get sooc as I want them, I know I cant achieve your results but I'm happy.
Another point, Advanced AF Set 1 2 3 4 there's virtually nothing on YT giving comparisons and opinions, only how to set it up. So food for another video maybe?? Thanks for the great videos ,well done.
Loving the GH6 Hope to get one for myself at some point to go with my G9 as well. I also use my 100-400 a lot too. Wonder if They will be doing a G10 with this new sensor?
I hope so, but the GH6 has lower dynamic range and worst burst rates than the G9. It seems the benefits of this sensor are weighed towards video. Would this sensor make sense for a G9 successor?
@@nickcarneyphotography im sure it would be based on this sensor more aimed towards photos much like the g9 was based on the gh5 sensor
You got some great captures for sure but what the sensor is delivering is not as impressive as what z9 delivers. Are you on m43 just for weight's and size sake or just because you like it?
So the picture quality is better in GH6 then G9. Anyway love my G9.
I love the G9 too. I am having fun working with a new camera but my favourite photo of the set is the lion up the tree taken on the G9.
I’ve had my GH6 from the very first day it was released, and it’s still’s images were superior to my GH4 and GH5.
This week I bought a second-hand G9 and was pleasantly surprised to find that the G9 takes superior images to my GH6 especially with my100-400mm lens.
I’m amazed that a 5 year old camera at almost a quarter the price of my GH6 out performs it for photos.
Thanks so much for your GH6 introduction and love all your videos and photos! I had my G9 about 1yr ago, works beautifully for wildlife/birds. However, I need to learn about how to do a good video before planning a major trip to Africa within 1-2 years. Do I need to consider to get GH6? Thank you!☺️
The G9 is great for video. Note the elephant clip at the start of this video was shot on the G9. The GH6 does shoot at higher quality and has impressive specs, but as a stills photographer I am finding there is a huge learning curve to tackle video. I would say if video is your primary goal, then take a look at the GH6. If you are mainly after still photos with a bit of video thrown in, then you will be very happy with what you get from the G9.
👍
i bought a g9 and have it updated to 2.7 i think the 2022 update
Beautiful images Andrew!!! I just bought a GH6 coming from a Canon 5D mark iv. I hope to attend one of your workshops soon as I just retired and it's on my bucket list! Many thanks for your informative videos - new subscriber to your channel! How do you feel the GH6's detail, resolution, and sharpness compares to full frame for wildlife?
HI Steven, I think it stacks up really well against full frame cameras, thanks to that 25mpx sensor but also the quality of the Leica Panasonic lenses. That is as long as you are close enough to the subject for a good clean shot...I feel the only limitation is that the photos can't take as much cropping as a full-frame image. On the other hand, thanks to the 2x crop factor, the don't need as much cropping.
Awesome stuff mate :) I have the G9 and I love the colours I get from it, but I love to shoot video as well. only thing holding me back in buying the GH6 is the AF in video mod. How did you find the AF when shooting video?
I really didn't do much video but found it worked well whenever I did. By all reports it is an improvement on the G9. Other brands love to criticize the Lumix focus system but if you are sticking within Panasonic, it seems each new model and each new firmware updates makes it a little better. I haven't had issues with it but only limited use so far.
@@naturesimagephotography Thank you Andrew :) Maybe when you go to the zoo. You can give us a review of your thoughts on the video side.
Very nice work. Do you think the G6 sensor will find its way into a future G9?
Cross fingers and toes and hope for the best...
It is September 18th, can anyone tell me if the life of the gh6 battery has improved after multiple charges? Going to trade in the G9 relatively soon.
So far I haven't seen any significant improvement, although I haven't exactly been tracking the numbers. I know that if I expect to do a lot of photos in a single day, I'm going to need my spare battery at some point.
@@naturesimagephotography thanks
@@dreadnoughtandcrow glad to hear that. I was getting that or close to it with my G9 so the initial count I heard sounded very limited.
Hi Andrew, did you notice any meaningful improvement to the AF tracking with the GH6?. It’s the only area where my G9 can really struggle.
I have the sense that it's a bit better, but t's hard to say as I was never able to shoot a subject, then change lenses to shoot again. So I wasn't able to make a like-for-like comparison. I can say it was great to have the animal detect option available on all AF area modes, not just two. I found this very useful at different times during the tour.
panasonic 12-60mm f2.8-4.0 when does F2.8 stop at which MM ?
It's really only f2.8 when at 12mm. As soon as you start zooming the f-number begins to change. But still a very healthy f-4 at 60mm.
@@naturesimagephotography ok im not sure to get that lens or the 24-70 version all 2.8 ff one do u know anything about the teleconvers as a 200mm lecia would be 400mm f2.8 so if put 2x one that get 800mm F5.6 so if u have that lens and get convertor then u wont need to get the 100-400 what u used ?
I never liked my G9. I love Panasonic colors, but I think that the G9 weren’t the right camera for me. I used it for wildlife, but with the 100-300 Lumix II the AF and the image quality weren’t enough for me. The 12-60mm is better but still not enough. Then I founded an used gfx50s for a really good price and I’m loving it
