Panasonic LUMIX S9 S9 White 2025
A 24.2MP full-frame sensor in a 771g body makes this one of the lightest full-frame mirrorless cameras, with 30fps burst shooting and 5-stop IBIS. It captures 6K30p 4:2:0 10-bit and 4K60p 4:2:2 10-bit video, while the articulating touchscreen supports versatile angles. Best for YouTubers and content creators who want a compact full-frame video rig, though the 470-shot battery and lack of weather sealing limit travel use.
