    This channel made me buy an S9, my first Panasonic, and hands down the best decision i made. I took it on a personal trip to Istanbul. It was a joy to use and to share on Instagram in no time. Vlog is amazing. Ibis is another level lenses are light, just a joy to use. I always say best camera is the camera that makes shoot more and s9 does that

    When did the term "depth of field" become a description of a condition of shallow focus rather than the way we articulate a range of focus? I'm just curious, because depth of field used to be defined as "the range of acceptably sharp focus in front of and behind the point of focus". A lot of depth of field used to describe a shot with deep focus, wherein the subject, foreground and background are all in sharp focus. Now, that term is used to describe a scene with shallow focus, with only the subject in sharp focus. This isn't the first video where someone says something like "with a full frame sensor you are going to be able to get a lot of depth of field" or "the lens only opens to a 2.8, not a 1.8, so it won't give you a lot of depth of field". I'm open to changing the way I describe and teach depth of field, I'm just wondering when everyone decided on this new description.

    Guys. For £1,299 (roughly $1,600) you can get a camera that is even more compact than this with (IMO) less compromises.
    This setup that Caleb has costs around £2,300 (roughly $2,800). You could spend half of this, have lenses with wider focal ranges for more versatility and book a holiday with the left over cash. We gotta stop with this $2,000+ camera setup for the average person to have for travel, it's unnecessary.
    This isn't any hate to Caleb, he is an Ambassador so he will look favourably on Panasonic's cameras.

    The S9 costs certainly EUR 2100 with 2 lenses.
    I buy a Panasonic G9 or Olympus 1 M II or M III, or a GH5 for EUR 500 or less and 2 used Panasonic Leica or Olympus lenses for EUR 500. Not much bigger, much cheaper and more bearable if stolen.

    I used S9 to travel to Tanzania, Myanmar and Thailand.
    Pros: Size, weight, Battery, UX/UI, IBIS, lack of small fast prime like 28/2.8 or 35/2.8
    Cons: No weather sealed, no mech shutter (banding), no tiled screen
    I think m43 is still the best travel camera, especially if you carry a number of lens from wide to telephoto.
    S9 needs to improve and add more features/function to be the perfect travel camera.

    The best is a bold statement. It means either they can't afford another system (like most of us), so the one they purchased, better be the best, or they are selling you something. Anything that takes a photo or video is the best. Rather, it be a massive brick camera or small like a phone (f phones). It's what you have on you at the moment , is the best . And did you really do all touristy and video circles around your wife in what looks like a church? Non, the less, great images. I won't dismiss that. Best, though? I highly doubt it

    Didn't even mention hybrid zoom. Also, beginners out there, don't let anyone especially camera tech UA-camrs convince you you're going to get more depth of field and better low light performance with a full frame camera sensor. It's BS blind leading the blind. DOF comes from the lenses you choose and low light performance comes from the size of the individual pixels of a sensor and the ISP (image signal processor).
