And in this deal it comes complete with the fabulous and versatile Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 L-mount lens.

Save $500 at Amazon The S9 is remarkably small considering the full-frame sensor inside. There is also no viewfinder, as this is primarily aimed at social content creators. The S9’s party trick of built-in LUTs is a very cool feature for creatives who need to get photos up as fast as possible.

Don't be deceived by the Panasonic Lumix S9's small stature. This compact interchangeable lens camera is a modern mirrorless powerhouse, boasting a 24.2MP full-frame sensor, Panasonic's Phase Hybrid autofocus, up to 6.5 stops of in-body image stabilization and up to 30fps burst shooting.

The absence of a viewfinder is partly responsible for the camera's compact size, so it's more likely to appeal to content creators and video shooters. Thankfully it's got a decent video spec, with 6K 30p and 4K 60p capture. It also comes with a variety of LUT presets to instantly enhance the look of video footage. And, if you shoot video for a variety of formats, you'll be pleased to know that it's an open gate video camera.

In fact, this little camera would be an ideal candidate for a portable rig. And at $1,299, it's great value for what it offers.
