The GX9 is the perfect blend of LUMIX technology and experience in the world of interchangeable lens cameras.
With a surprisingly compact design, LUMIX GX9 is an excellent choice for street photography enthusiasts. Packed with innovative features, it’s designed to capture even the smallest details with its 20.3MP sensor without a low-pass filter, offering the best level of texture.
LUMIX GX9 also introduces two new features: L.Monochrome and Grain, which make it easier to create black and white photos. The high-resolution Live View Finder has an 80-degree tilt angle, giving you the freedom to explore and shoot from different angles.
Perfect for fashion shoots like those experienced by photographer Viviana Galletta, a portrait and blogger, or for capturing the ever-changing skies, LUMIX GX9 is also equipped with AF Low-Light, which allows the camera to automatically focus in difficult shooting conditions.
