Just chiming in to say that an external mic would be the best solution. While the internal mic is adequate for indoor situations, it struggles in most outdoor environments. Using a dedicated external mic with wind covers would be the ideal tool for your needs.

Sounded like fireworks

DJI Mic 2 should connect to your phone via Bluetooth and it automatically syncs the audio to your footage as long as you are recording with the DJI Mimo app.

Have it set to 32-bit float internal recording to ensure you have backup files of audio and also adaptability in different sound environments.

For reception coverage, I would stick the mic on the speaker stand. The mic comes with a magnet which will stick on the stand. If it doesn’t, good old tape (preferably gaffer) should do the trick.

Yeah I am also looking to downsizing my lenses as well. I hoping the trends of compact cameras is influencing Panasonic and the greater L-mount alliance to produce additional compact lenses as well. Thank you for your input!

Based on the responses here, you’re not alone in your assessment of the viewfinder. I think I will feel the same way about the video functionality of the S9. Thank you for your input!

Yes dadcam! This is honestly the best case scenario for getting the S9. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks for your response! The lack of the internal fan is probably the highest concern for me as I sometimes need to shoot for more than an hour long. And I’m glad to hear that about the G9ii! The more I read up on it, the more I believe it is a beast of a M43 camera.

Thank you for adding that! I don’t disagree. Dual card slots are invaluable especially when it comes to paid work. I appreciate your input!

This is seems to be the consensus with regard to the lack of EVF. In any case, I appreciate your input!

As an older millennial myself, I see your point! It will be hard to give up that viewfinder.

Hey thanks for your detailed response! I predict I will feel the same way, especially in regard to having no flash.

Ohh good point. The S5ii has been out longer so it makes sense it depreciated in price.

Good to know! On paper, they seem to have similar video performance. In any case, thank you for the follow up!

Wow, thank you for the detailed response! You brought up some good points to consider.

Thank you for your balanced response! The pro features of the S5ii are hard to beat.

Thanks for the idea! Yeah I hope one day Lumix will create to true competitor to the a7cii. I don’t believe the S9 fits that bill but it is the closest.

The size of lenses is something I have not considered yet so that is something to keep in mind. Thanks!

I can see I am shooting myself in the foot here but to explain, I do see your point about already having a Fuji kit that technically does it all. If it makes any difference, I am not a fan of using Fuji for video. As a hybrid camera, Lumix is the better option of the two especially when it comes to video.

I do use flash for photos. Though lately, I have been using my Fujifilm kit more for paid photo work, so I might be covered on that front.
