If the Panasonic Lumix G9 is impressive, it is because it manages, in a single body, to synthesize everything that we expect from a very high-end camera: tropicalization, endurance, fast autofocus, intelligent ergonomics, all sprinkled with a good dose of modernity and 4K/UHD 60p video. Perfection certainly does not exist in this world, but for once, the engineers in Osaka are getting close. Hats off to the artists. Again. Again!
