Panasonic DMC-ZS9 14.1MP Digital Camera with 16x Optical Zoom and 21x Intelligent Zoom Function Black Price and Description:

The compact, versatile lens system is the hallmark of LUMIX ZS series and now this lens system is totally redeveloped for the DMC ZS9 in both optical and mechanical design.

Comprising twelve elements in ten groups, as well as an ED lens and three aspherical lenses with six aspherical surfaces, this advanced lens unit suppresses chromatic aberration which tends to happen in telephoto shooting. It also boasts a short total length of lens unit in spite of its higher versatility with longer zoom range, which is made possible by development of a new system for the structure of lens barrel. The lens system is matched with high shutter speed of min.1/4,000 sec.

Converted to standard 35mm camera equivalent, at the maximum large position. Powerful 16x Optical Zoom
The DMC ZS9 features a powerful 16x optical zoom lens (35mm camera equivalent: 24 384mm). This gives you greatly natural expressions from people and animals that you can not get close to. It may also be used for shooting movies, and is intended to suppress sound while zooming. This compact, pocket sized camera can go wherever you do for both everyday snapshots and traveling.

5.0 out of five stars does not get much better than this for a Point & Shoot, November 15, 2011
By I. Peters (Dallas, TX USA) See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME) () This review is from: Panasonic DMC ZS9 14.1MP Digital Camera with 16x Optical Zoom and 21x Intelligent Zoom Function (Black) (Electronics) The Lumix DMC ZS9 is my seventh digital point & shoot and my 3rd Panasonic ( I also own a Panasonic Lumix DMC FH20 (Violet), and a Panasonic Lumix DMC S1 (Black)). After playing with it for a while, they are my thoughts:

PROS
Features:
I got this camera as a lightning deal here on and was pleasantly surprised what all it offers for the price (even when one buys it at regular price it’s still impressive). There’s the Leica lens, for starters. Cheaper Panasonic cameras typically don’t have Leica lenses so I’m happy. Moreover, the wide angle is 24 mm nice also. Add to that the 16x optical zoom, the Power image stabilization and the capability to shoot with Aperture priority, Shutter priority, Manual, Program and Panasonic’s own iA mode (Intelligent Auto mode) and a range of more or less useful Scene modes, the HD video capability, and many other features like Macro and Macro Zoom mode, and one really gets a full featured, compact camera with a quality lens for a great price.
Custom Modes:
I like that this camera lets me to allocate two of my favored Scene modes to positions on the dial over the ZS9. My DMC FH20 also has scene modes but I can not assign them to any buttons, etc. This is certainly progress and appreciated. I tend to usually photograph landscapes and pets, so my MS1 (stands for My Scene Mode 1) is set to Landscape mode, MS2 to Pet mode. Also to that, the camera lets the photographer to define custom settings with all kinds of mixes to satisfy users who want more than just take pictures with the pre programmed scene modes.
Scene Modes:
These include nearly every scene imaginable from Portrait / Portrait Soft Skin to Food, Party, Candlelight, Landscape, Sports etc. And gimmicks like Transform which elongates or widens motifs/subjects. There’s a scene mode there for everyone, I am sure of it.
Auto Focus:
Very fast and correct. I haven’t had any trouble to get it to lock, in low light, low contrast situations. This is something I really value in a point & shoot because not many things are more frustrating than not getting the camera to concentrate on the motif.
Easy Operation:
As mentioned above, this is my 3rd Panasonic Lumix, so I’m rather familiar with the operation of their cameras. But I think that anybody could find operating this camera rather straightforward, unless the person is a total beginner or hasn’t had much if any experience with digital cameras. Sure, there are generally cases where one could have to consult the manual, but every day point & shoot operation shouldn’t require too much thumbing through that. Note that the hard copy manual that comes in the box only explains the basics. The complete user manual comes in PDF format on the CD that’s in the box.

CONs (if one wants to call it that)
As with all cameras in this price range/class, I found that image sound and general image quality is reliant on the zoom setting, at lower ISO settings like ISO100. While the camera shoots well at short focal lengths and low ISO settings, it on occasion doesn’t so well at long (digital) focal lengths. This isn’t too most of an issue when printing regular four x six or five x seven prints but enlarging a picture that was taken at full zoom will probably be problematic. With the Leica lens, I don’t see a obvious improvement in image quality when comparing it to my simpler and older DMC FH20. While disappointing, this is to be projected, and image sound is a sensor issue anyway. There’s most likely not a camera in this class out there that doesn’t have the same problem. I’m only mentioning this to be complete.
Weight & Size. Do not get me wrong the ZS9 is a small and lightweight camera but it still is bigger and heavier than as an example the FH20. It’s clear to me that it could must be a bit heavier and bigger, considering the many more features the ZS9 has compared to the FH20. I’m mentioning this only in case weight and size is the priority for a reader. This camera is certainly not shirt pocket material and I’m not sure I’d be too comfy carrying it in my jeans pocket either. Jacket pockets should usually be OK though ; ).
The color/surface. Call me nit picky, but I LOVED the brushed metal surface of my FH20 also as the fact that it came in some number of colors (my choice was violet at the time). While the ZS9 seems it’s made of high quality materials, I miss the classy brushed metal look and could have favored nearly any other color over the black. But this is really strictly personal preference.

SUMMARY
I am happy with this camera. I believe it’s the ideal device for my main function, which is using it as a compact travel camera. As a matter of fact, the ZS8 (the nearly same twin to the ZS9) is called TZ18 in Europe, TZ standing for Travel Zoom. This best describes the area where this camera shines. It is not an SLR and won’t produce SLR quality pictures but for the money, convenience and the quality it gives in its class, I’d be hard pressed to find a better camera.

5.0 out of five stars Great photos and so easy to use, November 22, 2011
By lrquade See all my reviews This review is from: Panasonic DMC ZS9 14.1MP Digital Camera with 16x Optical Zoom and 21x Intelligent Zoom Function (Black) (Electronics) I wanted a digital camera that I did not have to mess with all the settings to take a picture. The reviews kept saying how easy this camera was to use so I bought it. I took it on vacation without reading through the manual and it was so easy to use. My pictures came out so beautiful that I surprised myself. Everyone commented what an amazing photographer I was which made me laugh because all I did was leave it on the “intelligent mode” which just lets the camera choose what setting it thinks it should use. The zoom is amazing. After three different digital cameras I’m happy with my choice. I could certainly recommend this camera.

2.0 out of five stars Poor low light performance, November 12, 2011
By utahphil See all my reviews () This review is from: Panasonic DMC ZS9 14.1MP Digital Camera with 16x Optical Zoom and 21x Intelligent Zoom Function (Black) (Electronics) Okay, 1st off I bought this throughout the lighting deal at $149. I was worried with everyone saying had made a mistake and that this was the ZS8. Well I just got it and it says it’s the ZS9. The manual (which is made for the ZS8 and ZS9) appears to propose the lone difference between the two is that the ZS9 does stereo recording in video while the ZS8 only allowed for mono. Didn’t make a mistake. ZS9 is written write over the camera. Found it odd Panasonic’s own website didn’t talk about the ZZ9.

Update 11/19/11. Camera continues to work well. I have never projected much from flashes on point and shoot cameras but this one looks to have less output than most. If you plan on shooting with many of flash I’m not sure this could be the best camera (though I attempt to never use the flash anyway). I also learned that firmware on many of the Panasonic cameras (and I believe this one) prevent the use of 3rd party less costly batteries (ugh). If you’re like me and stock up on cheap extra batteries you may want to look into this as an issue. The Panasonic battery runs about $33 bucks while one can typically find 3rd party batteries around the $10 range.

Updated 11/26/11. After having enough time with the camera I decided that the faults, at least in my situation, made this a camera not suited for my use. My house tends to be darker with a most of the lighting coming from incandescent light. The low light photo quality was just not good. When using the flash on auto the camera could on occasion set an ISO of which I couldn’t understand. At ISO the pictures have obvious sound. I could say that the low light quality with flash could be best for facebook, etc. I could be scared to blow them up to anything maybe beyond a 4×6. I also had a chance to review the video quality. I had once tried a Canon 230 HX and that quality was simply great. I didn’t see anywhere near that quality indoors but possibly it’s a light issue again. If you’re planning on primarily shooting in the outdoors I’m sure this can be a great choice. But, if you need a small camera that may be used in all lighting conditions a back sided CMOS camera can be a better choice. I’m still trying to find that perfect fit between my old Canon ELPH and my Canon T1i SLR. Still looking for something that fits right in the center.
