Nikon announced the new Z5IIc. And it’s a direct competitor of the Lumix S9. A full spec comparison can be found on this BHphoto page.
| Nikon Z5 IIC advantages | Panasonic S9 advantages |
|---|---|
| Mechanical shutter and proper flash support | Considerably smaller and lighter |
| Better suited to action, events and artificial lighting | 6K open-gate video |
| Internal 12-bit RAW video | Stronger social-media video workflow |
| Headphone monitoring | 96MP high-resolution photo mode |
| Weather-sealed, more substantial grip | Better battery life |
| Broader subject-recognition AF | Higher-resolution rear screen |

The Lumix is also $200 cheaper than the Nikon. For photography, having a mechanical shutter is definitely an advantage, while for video, the S9 is my clear favorite. I hope the future S9 II will have a mechanical shutter—and, in my dream world, an integrated EVF as well. Obviously, these additions would also make the camera more expensive.

Trusted sources have confirmed that Sigma will release more L-mount lenses in October/November. I should have more details soon…
…Any wishes?”
