Review: Panasonic GX9 makes a compelling case for the compact camera

Panasonic has done an admirable job packing high-end marquee features into the tiny compact GX9 street shooter – in particular, a sensor, wireless comms and dual image stabilization to equal the flagship Panasonic G9. But what has been sacrificed in the name of portability?

Panasonic has announced their latest GX camera, the GX9.It's been 10 years since Panasonic first introduced its first mirrorless G series of cameras. Ten years! Think about how far mirrorless cameras have come in that timeframe. They went from point-and-shoot afterthoughts to award-winning pocket cameras

Panasonic's Lumix DC-GX9 is a 20MP rangefinder-style mirrorless camera that aims to do a bit of everything. It borrows features from both the GX8 and the smaller GX80 / GX85, but does it strike the right balance?
