that looks pretty impressive with the lumix kit lens! i just got this lens bundled 'free' with the s9 so i'm hoping it will work well - some people are saying the 24-60/2.8 is worth getting as it would be nice to have constant f/2.8 so perhaps a future upgrade

It's been a cracking workhorse of a lens for the last 3 and a half years, I have zero complaints about it that's for sure! :)

really looking forward to using the lumix ecosystem as it's so compact compared with my canon, although i was toying with a used r6ii at £1,299 from my local lce, but the deal on the s9 with lens was too good to pass over at £999

I switched to Lumix from Sony about 3 and a half years ago now, and haven't looked back. The S5 and now S5iiE ergonomics are perfect, but it was the Lumix colour science that was the deal breaker.
 
Just ordered an S9 with 18-40 as an almost-everyday carry to use when, well, I feel like using something different. Was looking around for a suitable camera, but nothing really seemed to satisfy that itch. The S9 setup was at such a good price it would have been churlish to refuse, especially as my wife sort-of sanctioned it. I only intend to use it for stills as I have zero interest in making videos. Should be arriving Saturday.
Quick question - do those LUTs get baked into the RAW files or just jpegs?

Hi Stephen the LUTs don't get baked into the raw file that stays as an untouched file. You can convert the raw to jpg from the lut in camera or shoot raw+jpg to have a saved file automatically with the lut applied. Hopefully that makes sense.

Don't panic, Trevor! I'm not defecting from OM (famous last words, I know). I just had an itch and was granted the wherewithal to scratch it. I wanted a camera to replace my LX100 but with a better sensor. Couldn't think of anything else except a Sony A7C, which I've already owned and sold as it just didn't tickle me. Watch this space.
 
Hi, not a lot of traffic on this thread hoping you can help.

Just bought an S5D with S 18-40 lens used with less than 300 actuations from UK dealer for a totally stupid price!

Hardly used it but it seems a very nice and easy to use camera. I will use it for holiday and landscapes, no videos or action photography.

Also bought a bargain priced S 24-105 off eBay, bargain priced as it has white spots/fungus on an internal element, which the seller had described. I have very briefly tested it against the 18/40 and it is at least as good, also good from 50-105mm, so spots etc not impinging too badly on image quality. Seems a really nice lens, but from scouring the internet, some Lumix lenses seem to suffer from this problem.

Looking to buy a Lumix 14/28 and 70/300 for landscape work, but am concerned that they may also suffer white spot/fungus eventually and loose value.

Any comments re Lumix internal element deterioration appreciated, particularly what will happen to my 24/105, serial number states made in 2019, how long until it becomes unusable?

I'm retired and have only ever taken photos for pleasure not money but am looking for a system that will allow me to take beautiful landscapes.

Previously used a 6D with f4 L lenses and Fuji XT20 with 10/24, 16/80 and 55/200.

I've shot Lumix for 4 and a half years now, I use my kit hard as a dedicated UK landscape photographer, in some of the worst downpours imaginable trusting the weather sealing, and haven't suffered any form of fungus in lenses at all and they just get put back in my bag after a rough dry with a microfibre and dry off naturally, with zero fungus issues across all my lenses... 14-28, 20-60, 24-105, 70-300 and 100-500 and are all perfect still. I guess other climates with more humidity could cause an issue, but then nothing is ever perfect no matter the brand.
