Сравнение Panasonic Lumix GX80 GX85 и Panasonic Lumix GX9

Функция Post focus

Безусловно, очень интересная «фишка» камеры, которая открывает перед фотографом заманчивые перспективы, – ведь порой именно из-за небольшой промашки по фокусу приходится отбраковывать удачный в целом кадр. Как уже было сказано, суть опции в том, что камера делает целый ряд кадров с разной фокусировкой, и с помощью сенсорного экрана фотограф может затем задать необходимую точку фокуса: камера при этом выберет подходящий кадр и предложит его сохранить. Сам ряд снимков при этом сохраняется в виде короткого видео в формате MP4. Функция, безусловно, интересная, но сложно предположить, что кто-то будет таким образом снимать каждый сюжет, все-таки это слишком ресурсозатратно. Возможно, опция будет актуальна для особенно ответственных ситуаций либо в моменты, когда фотограф не может сразу определиться, что хочет видеть в кадре главным. Или для ситуаций, когда хочется создать коллаж из нескольких композиционно одинаковых снимков, различающихся лишь расстановкой акцентов. Как минимум манипуляции с фокусом попросту увлекательны.

Съемка на высоких ISO

Я попробовала протестировать камеру в экстремальных условиях – в клубе с довольно слабым освещением. Поскольку съемка динамики требует коротких выдержек, ISO пришлось поднять до значения 6400. Встроенный шумодав работает достаточно жестко, давая чрезмерно сглаженную и не детализированную картинку, причем это становится видно уже на экране камеры. При конвертации RAW с настройками по умолчанию мы видим весьма суровые шумы.

Ради любопытства я посмотрела, как поведет себя GX9 на своем предельном значении ISO 25600.

 

Слева – внутрикамерный jpeg, справа RAW, конвертированный с настройками по умолчанию

Можно сделать вывод, что для сколько-нибудь серьезной съемки в подобных условиях светосильный объектив просто необходим, на повышение ISO полагаться не стоит.

Другое испытание для камеры – съемка в вечернем городе. В данном случае света было уже больше, поэтому значение ISO 3200 оказалось достаточным. Благодаря работе шумодава мы практически не наблюдаем на снимках шумов, но если некоторым сюжетам «сглаженность» не мешает, то на других (в основном это ситуации с людьми в кадре) она слишком бросается в глаза. Если же мы обратимся к оригинальному RAW, то увидим, что шум здесь тоже достаточно значительный.

 

Этим снимкам внутрикамерное шумоподавление пошло на пользу: хотя мы немного и потеряли в плане детализации, фото в целом смотрятся качественно

 

При съемке портретов излишняя гладкость, которую дает шумоподавление, смотрится менее удачно. Слева – внутрикамерный JPEG, справа RAW, сконвертированный с настройками по умолчанию

Можно сказать, что значение ISO 1600 – это тот предел, за который лучше не выходить, если вы стремитесь к действительно качественной картинке.

Если вы рассматриваете Panasonic GX9 как репортажную камеру, если любите в путешествиях снимать не только пейзажи и статичные объекты, но и жанровые сцены, в том числе вечерние, – светосильная оптика будет необходима, без нее придется мириться с достаточно сильным шумом.

Panasonic Lumix GX9 specs

Sensor: 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds Live MOS

Lens mount: Micro Four Thirds

Screen: 3.0-inch tilt-angle touchscreen, 1,240,000 dots

Burst shooting: 9fps

Autofocus: 49-area AF

Video: 4K

Connectivity: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Battery life: 250 shots

Weight: 450g

The Lumix GX9 uses the same 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds sensor that was in the GX8, but Panasonic has removed the low-pass filter from the sensor in the newer camera. This is intended to improve fine detail rendition, with the trade-off that it also increases the risk of moiré effects (interference patterns) in fine textures and details. 

In another effort to improve the ultimate detail recorded by the GX9, Panasonic has redesigned the sensor mechanism to achieve a claimed 90% reduction in shutter shock (vibration caused by the shutter that can cause blurring of fine detail). 

Inside the GX9, the in-body image stabilization system has been enhanced with 5-axis compensation, which works alongside Panasonic’s in-lens optical stabilizers to enable you to use shutter speeds four stops slower than would otherwise be possible and still achieve sharp shots.

The Lumix GX9 comes with 4K video, as we’d expect from Panasonic, and enhanced 4K Photo modes. Here, the camera uses its 4K video processing power to capture images designed to be exported as 8MP stills. The 4K burst mode captures frames at an impressive 30fps, and the GX9’s new auto-marking feature puts markers in the sequence where there’s a significant change in the frame content, to help you find key moments later.

The 4K Post Focus mode is even more impressive. In this mode the camera captures a short burst using every focus point, and in playback mode you can simply tap on the picture to choose the focus point you want. This enables you to do something which feels like it ought to be impossible: adjust the focus after you’ve taken the shot. And new in the Lumix GX9 is in-camera focus stacking, so you no longer need a computer to merge a series of images with different focus points into a single photo that’s sharp from front to back – something that’s impossible to achieve in macro photography with a single exposure.

Like both the GX7 and GX8, the Lumix GX9 features a tilting electronic viewfinder, but there are some differences compared to its predecessor. While resolution remains the same at 2.7 million dots, the technology has changed, from OLED to a not so nice field-sequential design, with the magnification decreasing from 0.77x to 0.7x.

The viewfinder also has a 16:9 aspect ratio – great if you’re planning to shoot a lot of video, but for stills with a 4:3 aspect ratio, quite a lot of real estate is lost either side of the frame (which obviously means a lower magnification). 

There have been a number of changes to the rear display as well. The screen size stays the same at three inches (with touchscreen control), but again OLED technology makes way for a TFT display, although here there’s been a slight boost in resolution, to 1,240,000 dots. 

The way the screen can be pulled away from the body has also been revised from the GX8, with that camera’s vari-angle mechanism that’s hinged on the side of the camera replaced by a tilt-angle design, which doesn’t offer quite the same range of movement. 

The Lumix GX9 gets Bluetooth as well as Wi-Fi connectivity, with the former enabling a constant connection to your smartphone with minimum power consumption.

The review scores listed above should be treated with care, though. The ratings were established in reference to similarly priced cameras that were available in the market at the time of the review. A score, therefore, has to be seen in close connection to the price and market introduction time of the camera, and comparing ratings of very distinct cameras or ones that are far apart in terms of their release date have little meaning. It should also be noted that some of the review sites have over time altered the way they render their verdicts.

Panasonic GX9 Review

Sensor comparison with a 35mm slide

The size of the sensor inside a digital camera is one of the key determinants of image quality. A large sensor will generally have larger individual pixels that offer better low-light sensitivity, provide wider , and have richer than smaller pixels in a sensor of the same technological generation. Further, a large sensor camera will give the photographer additional creative options when using shallow to isolate a subject from its background. On the downside, larger sensors tend to be associated with larger, more expensive camera bodies and lenses.

The Panasonic GX9 features a Four Thirds sensor and has a format factor
(sometimes also referred to as «crop factor») of 2.0. Within the spectrum of camera sensors, this places the Panasonic GX9 among the medium-sized sensor cameras
that aim to strike a balance between image quality and portability.

Since 2007, DXO Mark has published sensor performance measurements that have been derived using a consistent methodology. This service assesses and scores the color depth («DXO Portrait»), dynamic range («DXO Landscape»), and low-light sensitivity («DXO Sports») of camera sensors, and also publishes an overall camera score. The adjacent table reports on the physical sensor characteristics and the outcomes of the DXO sensor quality tests for a sample of comparator-cameras.

Видеосъемка

По своим возможностям в плане видеосъемки Lumix GX9 получилась ожидаемо компромиссным вариантом. Да, она умеет снимать 4К-видео с частотой до 30 кадров в секунду, есть возможность ручной настройки во время съемки (фокус, диафрагма, светочувствительность), возможность делать фотоснимки во время записи видео (полезно, чтобы подбирать кадры для превью), работает стабилизатор.

Но здесь нет ни разъема для наушников, ни входа для внешнего микрофона, а битрейт ограничен вполне рядовым показателем 100 Мбит/с. Используется не вся площадь матрицы, поэтому угол обзора оптики будет уменьшен из-за кроп-фактора. Для продвинутых пользователей доступен фокус-пикинг и шаблон «зебра», однако у камеры нет ни микрофонного входа, ни выхода на наушники. Для записи более-менее качественного звука придется использовать внешний рекордер.

Возможности профессионального использования Lumix GX9 строго ограничены, это любительская камера – не только в плане фото, но и в плане видео. Качество съемки при этом остается на достаточно неплохом уровне.

Заключение

Panasonic Lumix GX9 оставила впечатление достаточно симпатичной, но не выдающейся камеры. Из плюсов хочется отметить удобство управления, легкость и компактность, обилие интересных функций, которые не дают заскучать и побуждают к экспериментам. Отдельным пунктом выделю работу стабилизатора, благодаря которому съемка с рук на длинных выдержках стала больше удовольствием, чем испытанием.

По качеству съемки он не выделяется на фоне современных представителей семейства Micro Four Thirds. Самым большим недостатком можно назвать довольно сильные шумы, которые начинают быть заметны невооруженным глазом уже на достаточно небольших значениях ISO. Сказать, что стабилизатор полностью компенсирует этот недостаток, нельзя, ведь такое утверждение актуально лишь для статичных сюжетов – GX9 плохо подходит для репортажной съемки. Фотолюбители, снимающие в JPEG, возможно, будут разочарованы получаемой картинкой – снимки по умолчанию тускловаты. При работе с RAW это, конечно, решаемый момент. При этом у камеры есть много различных стилей съемки и художественных фильтров для тех, кто не любит заморачиваться с постобработкой. Panasonic Lumix GX9 в первую очередь подойдет энтузиастам-путешественникам без амбиций в плане профессиональной фотографии.
