Our take on the Panasonic Lumix DC-S9 + 18-40mm F4.5-6.3

The Lumix DC-S9 is Panasonic's smallest full-frame mirrorless camera, built for handheld video and travel. It pairs a 24MP sensor with phase-detect autofocus, in-body stabilization and open-gate 4K recording, and the kit adds a compact 18-40mm zoom. It has no mechanical shutter and no built-in flash, and its viewfinder is an add-on rather than built in, so it leans toward vloggers and hybrid shooters over stills purists. Compared with the Lumix S5 II it gives up the built-in EVF and some controls to save size and weight.

Pros
  • Full-frame 24MP sensor in a body around 17 oz
  • Phase-detect autofocus with subject detection
  • In-body image stabilization for handheld video
  • Open-gate 4K and a flip-out touchscreen for vlogging
  • Compact 18-40mm kit zoom keeps the package small
Cons
  • No built-in electronic viewfinder; it is a separate add-on
  • No mechanical shutter, which limits flash sync and fast action
  • Small body means fewer direct controls and a smaller grip
  • No built-in flash
  • Battery life is modest for a full day of shooting

Questions and answers

Does the Lumix DC-S9 have a viewfinder?
No. It relies on the 3-inch touchscreen, and an electronic viewfinder is sold as a separate accessory.
Can I use a flash with it?
It has no built-in flash, and the electronic shutter limits flash sync, so flash use is restricted.
What is the 18-40mm kit lens good for?
It is a compact wide-to-standard zoom, well suited to travel, street and vlogging rather than reach.
How does it compare with the Lumix S5 II?
The S9 is smaller and lighter but drops the built-in EVF and some controls; the S5 II suits stills shooters who want a viewfinder.
Does it record 4K video?
Yes, up to 4K at 4096x2160 with open-gate recording and a microphone port.
Is it stabilized?
Yes, it has in-body image stabilization, which helps handheld video and low-light stills.
