Fast Continuous Shooting: 9.0fps In the world of sports photography, faster is always better.
Fast Max shutter speed: 1/4000s Panasonic GX9's 1/4000s shutter speed is fast enough to freeze any almost all sports action and is also helpful when you use a fast lens at largest aperture under bright sunlight.
49 Focus Points In sports photography , you keep continuous autofocus (AFC) mode on for tracking the subject and more focus means better tracking.
Wireless Connection It may not be used by everyone but pro sports photographers use Wi-fi to transfer files simultaneously without having to wait to change the memory card.
Electronic Built-in Viewfinder During a sports shoot, using a viewfinder allows the photographer to stabilize the camera and reduce the camera shake since it is closer to the body. Besides, it comes handy where LCD screens are very hard to read under bright sunlight.
Image Stabilization Image stabilization reduces the effects of camera shake at long focal lengths thus ensuring sharper photos during sports photography.
Average Ergonomics&Handling although not as good as a DSLR body, Panasonic GX9 is good enough for most conditions.
Environmental Sealings Most outdoor sports games are held in all-weather, so your camera has to be ready for difficult conditions such as rain and snow. Exposure to dust and water splashes are also very common in sports.
Poor Battery Life: 260 shots In most sports events, you shoot at high speed for a long time and this drains the battery pretty quick. With a battery life of only 260 shots per charge, you may need to change batteries very frequently in the middle of an event.
