Panasonic Life Solutions India today launched the LUMIX S9, the smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera in the LUMIX S Series line-up for the Indian market. The approx. 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, similar to the flagship LUMIX S5II, and the latest engine captures rich details with natural tones. Equipped with PDAF (Phase Detection Auto-Focus) for excellent subject tracking and Active I.S. (Image Stabilization) for reducing handheld blurring, this camera empowers content creators to shoot confidently in any situation.
The LUMIX S9 features a compact and lightweight design, weighing approximately 403g, making it the first of its kind in the LUMIX S Series to combine portability with high image quality. It boasts an approx. 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and the latest engine for powerful imaging performance. Enhanced real-time recognition AF with PDAF ensures precise subject tracking while industry-leading image stabilization technology, including 5-axis Dual I.S.2: 6.5 stops / Body I.S.: 5 stops and Active I.S., compensates for camera shake, even when shooting on the move. With perspective distortion correction and High mode in the E-Stabilization (Video) function, it is now possible to achieve even more stable footage when shooting on the move.
Available in four colors – Jet Black, Crimson Red, Dark Olive, and Night Blue, the LUMIX S9 price starts at INR 1,49,990 for the S9 body and INR 1,79,990 for the S9 kit with LUMIX S9 body & 20-60mm lens. It will be available at LUMIX Lounges, dealers across India, and Panasonic’s D2C site.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Manish Sharma, Chairman, Panasonic Life Solutions India and South Asia, said “At Panasonic, we are committed to delivering exceptional value for our customers and are proactively thinking of what our customers need. It is evident that India’s content creator ecosystem is rapidly expanding, driving significant growth in the camera market. LUMIX S9 is designed to meet the evolving needs of modern creators, offering a compact and lightweight design without compromising on performance. We are seeing a great response to our products in the Indian market. In the full-frame category, we have grown by 50% last year in India and with this new launch, Panasonic is well-positioned to capture this dynamic space. LUMIX S9 is an interesting product with new age features, that the photographer in me is excited to get my hands on.”
