Cameras are back in fashion, and Lumix's new S9 looks set to beat Fujifilm's X100 series as the go-to camera for TikTok and Instagram, thanks to a surprising secret weapon.
Panasonic Lumix S9 – Full Frame Power in a Compact Package?
Your phone’s camera may be constantly in your pocket, dangling from a cross-body lanyard, or clipped to a selfie stick, but its photos aren’t the best. And your phone doesn’t look as good as an actual camera when it’s in the frame, showing it off to your seven loyal followers. The S9 is a very powerful camera, with a full-frame sensor and interchangeable lenses, but it also looks great and — perhaps most importantly — it makes it a breeze to post photos to your social media.
“Influencers and Instagrammers are increasingly turning to real cameras, like Panasonic’s Lumix S9, because they offer superior image quality and creative control that smartphones simply can’t match,” pro photographer Jodi Blodgett told Lifewire via email.
“Quickly sharing photos to social media is essential in today’s digital world. During family and corporate events, I often rely on cameras that seamlessly integrate with smartphone apps for instant sharing. This capability ensures my clients receive timely updates, keeping their audience engaged,” says Blodgett.
