Panasonic has announced the LUMIX S9. It is a new compact full-frame camera with a 24.2-megapixel sensor. Images can be shared directly via the LUMIX Lab app, and you have access to LUTs. For both video and photography.

The LUMIX S9 is the smallest full-frame mirrorless camera in the S series. It is a very basic-looking camera that is available in four colours: Jet Black, Crimson Red, Dark Olive and Classical Blue.

The camera has excellent PDAF (Phase Detection AF) and built-in image stabilisation. There are many video options. The camera has a special LUT button, which allows you to use real-time LUTs for both video and photos.

The new LUMIX Lab app allows you to transfer any desired LUT to the camera. You can adjust, change or create LUTs. The app also allows you to upload your photos directly to a smartphone or social media.

The camera only has an electronic shutter, no viewfinder and no option to use flash. In return, you get a compact full-frame camera with plenty of options for creative photography.

The LUMIX S9 will be available from late June 2024, with a recommended retail price of 1,699 euros for the camera body. With the LUMIX S 20-60mm kit lens, the recommended retail price is 1,999 euros.

Reminds me of the Panasonic GM1 I had, a nice small and neat little camera back then, which you could slip into your pocket with the 12-32 mm lens.
Now add some small pancake lenses and I’ll think about it.
With MFT lenses, you have the insanely good 20mm 1.7, I hope for a comparable lens for this camera.

That stands for Look-Up Table. It is a preset to give the image a special look. The abbreviation comes from the video world.
You can find a lot about it when you use Google for a moment. I also wrote an article about it: https://www.photofacts.nl/fotografie/rubriek/video/een-lut-gebruiken-voor-videobewerking.asp
