Panasonic's Lumix DC-GX9 Camera

INCLUDES: Camera itself + Lumix G Vario 12-32mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH MEGA O.I.S./MEGA S.O.I Lense as pictured + New Aftermarket charger and battery as these were missing

Panasonic's Lumix DC-GX9 is a compact, rangefinder-styled camera that, in many ways, is especially well-suited for street and travel photographers. The design is handsome and understated, it comes with a 20 megapixel Four Thirds sensor and its standout feature is a tilting electronic viewfinder that is really handy, but not without its own caveats.

The GX9 is well-built and comes with a robust and customizable array of controls. Great JPEG colors and the addition of a L. Monochrome D setting (basically, a high-contrast black-and-white mode) will be fun and useful for users that desire high quality images without having to process Raw files - though the GX9's Raw files are awfully nice, too.

  The GX9 is something of a blend of Panasonic's preceding Lumix GX8 and GX80/GX85/GX7 Mk II (what that camera is called depends on which market you're reading from). Following the original GX7, Panasonic moved the Lumix GX8 slightly upmarket, with a higher price, while introducing the GX85 shortly after at a lower price. As the GX9 sees those two lines recombined, there are some nuances to its feature set that we'll cover thoroughly on the following pages of this review.
