Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds camera body bundled with a versatile Leica DG standard zoom lens.
The Panasonic Lumix G9 II, released in 2023, is the current flagship Micro Four Thirds camera from Panasonic, featuring phase-detection AF (new for the G9 series), a 25.2MP sensor, and improved IBIS. Bundled with the Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4 ASPH Power O.I.S. — a versatile standard zoom covering 24–120mm equivalent.
25.2MP MFT CMOS, Micro Four Thirds mount, phase-detection AF (new in G9 II), 8-stop IBIS (combined with OIS), 4K 120fps video, C4K recording, paired with Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4 ASPH Power O.I.S.
The G9 II's phase-detection AF is a significant improvement for wildlife and sports tracking compared to the original G9's contrast-detect only system. The 8-stop combined IBIS/OIS enables stable handheld shooting at extreme slow shutter speeds. The Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4 provides a wide zoom range with variable aperture.
Test phase-detection AF on moving subjects. Check combined IBIS + OIS stabilisation at multiple focal lengths. Test 4K 120fps recording. Confirm MFT mount lens engagement. Check battery condition.
