Panasonic S9 + 28-200mm/ F4-7.1 Jet Black (SKU DC-S9HE-K)

The LUMIX S9 is the smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera in the LUMIX S series. Available in Jet Black, Crimson Red, Dark Olive, and Night Blue, it combines a stylish design with serious imaging performance, making it an ideal everyday and travel companion.

A 24 MP full-frame sensor, equivalent to the one used in the LUMIX S5II, works with the latest image engine to deliver detailed images with natural color and smooth tonal gradation. The camera uses Phase Detection Auto-Focus for fast, accurate subject tracking, and Active I.S. stabilization to greatly reduce blur from camera shake, even when shooting handheld. This combination lets you shoot confidently in a wide variety of situations.

The S9 is built for creators who want distinctive looks straight out of camera. The REAL TIME LUT function, accessed via a dedicated LUT button on the body, allows you to apply a wide selection of popular, classic, or custom color styles in-camera. The LUMIX Lab smartphone app lets you create your own LUT files, then send them to the camera. This workflow makes it easy to generate unique, ready-to-share photos and videos without time-consuming editing on a computer. Data transfer between the camera and smartphone has also been made faster.

With the MP4 Lite format for Open Gate recording, the camera can capture high-quality video in a smartphone-friendly format. Using the LUMIX Lab app, you can quickly change aspect ratios to match different social media platforms.
