Just the other day, I was talking about how awesome the Panasonic LUMIX S9 is with staffer Alberto Lima. We both agree that if you’re looking for a small, full-frame camera that it’s hard to beat. It dawned on me that Panasonic also hasn’t made any sort of larger-sensor compact camera in years. What would’ve been the LX100 Mk III is actually the Leica D-LUX 8. But actually, if Panasonic put the right lens on the S9, it would be a wonderful compact camera that everyone would want to bring around with them. Better yet, it could undercut the Sony RX1R Mk III.
