Anyone using the s9 mainly for photo? Or is everyone here typically video?

Curious about your use cases and if s9 is undeniably a worthwhile photo camera. Obviously electronic shutter doesn't give you that satisfying photography feel and you may have banding issues, no flash/evf etc, but as far as results go- does the s9 deliver for you in terms of pure photography and image quality? Any reason to bring a second photo cam like Fuji for other reasons besides the ones I mentioned here?

Brief Review of the SG Image 35mm F2.2 paired with the S9

My SG 35mm arrived yesterday, and I've gotten to use it for a day with good initial results. I'm running the latest firmware for both the lens and S9.

Honestly, the sharpness and image quality are excellent for the price. It punches way above its weight class—you’re getting a really clean look without having to lug around a massive L-mount prime. It makes the S9 actually pocketable, which is the whole reason I bought the camera in the first place. It's got a little character too; it's not very clinical. If you like processing your photos to emulate vintage or film stock, I think you'll like the way it renders images.

The autofocus is more than acceptable for casual usage, too. It’s been very reliable for me so far. I’ve only had one single occasion where the shutter wouldn't fire because it couldn't get focus confirmation, but every other shot has been spot on. It definitely doesn't have the responsiveness of my Lumix-branded lenses, but I find it better than some STM lenses I had for Canon EF many years ago. I feel like if SG Image gave us another firmware tweak, they could get this lens running about 95% as fast and reliable as native L-mount glass. Currently feels like it's about 85% there. I don't think the hardware is the limiting factor. There might be some inconsistency from lens to lens (maybe a QC issue), as other reviews I've seen demonstrate worse AF performance than I've had.

If you’re looking for a cheap, stealthy daily driver for the S9, this is definitely worth picking up. Will I find myself wanting to switch to the new 40mm f2 from Lumix? Maybe, but given how much I love 35mm, maybe not.

Anyone wish they had a more appealing shutter sound for photo?

Would be a nice touch if Lumix remedied their electronic shutter experience with additional shutter sounds, or even light haptic feedback to emulate a mechanical shutter firing.

I can't complain too much since I bought this for personal video projects, and I know shooting photo should not be about gear and stuff, but when I snap a photo on the s9 and hear the shutter audio it's just an instant "ehh..". Tried the two similar sounding shutters and the third one as well, but they all sound tacky 😭

Mint green in the wild?

Anyone have any photos or video of the mint green copy in the wild? I can find basically nothing online about it.

It's more 'out there' ​than I usually go for, but part of me really likes the look of it in press shots...

Looking for LUT recommendations for pictures and videos in a dark venue, with sultry lighting, like pink light along with white light.

I'm still a bit new to cameras and have had my S9 for only a few months now. Still on the learning curve. And if you've seen my previous posts, I damn near lost my mind trying to edit a RAW picture in Pixelmator Pro until I discovered that Apple broke RW2 processing. Anyway thanks for your suggestions!
