I wrote, two years ago, that I thought the distinction between DSLRs and mirrorless cameras would disappear. Not that mirrorless would eclipse DSLRs, more that the differences would reduce to the point that the presence or absence of a mirror becomes the least relevant part of a discussion of two cameras. dpreview.com »

Seriously, you've got the opportunity to get one of the best camera deals we've seen in a while. When you buy the LUMIX S9 with the 18-40mm lens, you can get a free 50mm f1. 8. So you're literally getting one of the best nifty 50 lenses made with weather resistance and all, plus a zoom lens.
No camera system provokes more opinion and vitriol than Micro Four-Thirds. It is the most divisive system out there; you either love it or stay clear. Micro Four-Thirds (MFT) cameras have been around for a long time, with the story beginning in 2008 when Panasonic brought out the G1, closely followed by the Olympus E-P1.
The statement, "If You Know, You Know," is embodied in the 35mm full-frame lens. For many photographers, this little gem can do everything. Before the world and spaces became super cramped, photographers stated that a 50mm lens was the one to rule them all.
It's everywhere. Every time I look at photos my friends make in publications, they've got a bit of the film look. If it's not the vintage appeal, it's the softness or specific tonality of the images that make us yearn for something special.
It looks like Panasonic is going to continue making large zoom range point and shoot cameras. There is still a market for them, as we do get questions fairly regularly if Canon is ever going to release another one.
It's nice to see Panasonic still love the Micro Four Thirds format. While I'm not tempted, Panasonic throwing all its video DNA into the GH7 is good news for those who have Micro Four Thirds kits.
