If you’re looking for a mirrorless camera that takes up as little space as possible, then Panasonic’s Lumix S9 is worth your consideration. Prices start from ₹1,66,000 for the body only, or ₹1,99,000 with the 20-60mm kit lens. It comes in three funky colours – Crimson Red, Dark Olive and Classical Blue – as well as Jet Black for a more classic appearance.

Inside, a full frame 24.2MP sensor offers an astounding resolution. That fits within the smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera in the brand’s S series. Shot-snapping is a breeze with up to 6.5 stops of five-axis image stabilisation and phase detection auto-focus. You’ll get up to 779 points of auto-focus, too, which should be useful to ensure pinpoint accuracy. On the rear of the camera, a new LUT (Look Up Table) button is present. That gives users access to their LUT of choice at any time, for an instant view with the preset engaged.
