Panasonic LUMIX S9 Camera Involved in Promotional Fraud Scandal

According to TapTechNews on May 28, according to foreign media photorumors report, the Panasonic LUMIX S9 camera has recently been involved in a promotional fraud scandal, suspected of false promotional fraud, which has aroused dissatisfaction among netizens.

It is reported that on the official promotional page of the Panasonic LUMIX S9 camera, some stock photos have appeared, and many can be found on the Internet. For example, the puppy promotional picture on the Panasonic Japan official website can be found from the image storage website Shutterstock.

In addition, another bird photography work is even a work shot by a rival Nikon user using a Nikon camera. The focus recognition frame in the promotional picture is composited in the later stage. And there is also a picture of a puppy that can be found in multiple sources.

TapTechNews found that the involved promotional pictures can still be accessed on the Panasonic Japan official website. Panasonic has not given a response for the time being.

The Panasonic smallest and most compact full-frame L-mount mirrorless camera LUMIX S9 was released earlier this month. The starting price in China is 9599 yuan ($1350), and it is the first time to adopt a compact design in the LUMIX S series, and 5 color options are available.
