Panasonic G9.

Here's some indoor & low light shots out of my older GX8, the G9 is substantially better, but with Covid, lockdowns & all that, it's been a long long time since I've shot anything indoors in a social situation.

Moving subject, in the dark. Focus point on the grill

Just some general, low light shots from when I very first bought the camera, just learning it. Take note of the EXIF data. Not much light available

Outdoors the other night, & it was dark. Much, much darker than the photo depicts

And while I'm posting in the thread, may as well some more I've shot over the last few days

This cheap, tiny little pancake kit lens is way better than it has any right to be

Playing around with my little manual focus 10mm Laowa

Thank you for all of the replies.
From I have seen so far here and where, G9 sensor isn't much different from E-PL1's sensor camera I have. ISO3200 is the total max for people indoors. It means while one sec is not an option for people photography, I would have to handle G9 as 5D. With upper ISO limit of 1600. Would it be prime or zoom.
Prime for shallow DOF, zoom for versatility and flash.
Here is my 5D older photos with ISO maxed @1600.

ISO 1600 was not very limiting back then and nor I needed f1.2 all the times indoors then and I just don't have to be lazy now and use on camera flash as I used to.
I hope Panasonic has some compact ones. I'm not in as good shape for weights handling as I used to be .

I would like to be able to use this well build camera with well made Leica labeled lenses. For prime I might go with 15 1.7.
500 USD for Summilux is the miracle for me as Leica M user .

Lol. The G9/GH52 is significantly better than that. I can see improvements between the 20MP one in the GX8 & G9. Try doing this with your EPL1 The GX8 & G9 has better dynamic range than the 6D 1 & II, and the RP.

Thank you for clarification. Provided image with recovery from the dark looks very natural.

I guess, it is save to say what this camera with PanaLeica 12-60 is good replacement for my heavier 5D2 and 24-105 L on it. For my outdoor "adventures" and I have seen some photos of people under low light with it, seems to be fine as well.

I really like colors from G9. And PanaLeica lenses .

If you're going to do a bit of low light shooting, then I'd very strongly advise you to invest in some faster primes. They're not crazy expensive, they're small & light, & they AF quickly & accurately. Because of the larger apertures. Especially if your subject is moving. No need for the larger chunky Oly Pro f/1.2's, I think the sweet spot in m4/3 is the f/1.4-1.8 lenses. I use f/2.8 lenses as my normal daytime lenses, they still give a slightly softer background at 2.8, & aren't too bulky or heavy. If you really want to spend up on a zoom for low light, then the way to go would be the Panasonic Leica 10-25 f/1.7, & it's bigger brother the 25-50 f/1.7 Not cheap, but still around the same price as a collection of similar primes.
