The Panasonic Lumix FZ80 is a decent choice for casual nature photography. If you want to stick with what you know, a Panasonic Lumix G95/G97 or G100 would be the next step. Pair it with a Lumix 100-300 mm or 100-400 mm zoom. Personally, I have a G95. It's a little larger for handling the bigger zoo

Few factors : - Lumix has always been a bit of a video-centric brand, ever since the GH1 released. Most of why peop[le bought Lumix cameras for was very often the excellent video specs compared to the price point, and not really their photo capabilities (which are still good) - Olympus has a HUGE ba

One aspect of the G9ii or G97 that you might enjoy is that the smaller glass makes it easier to take the camera everywhere. I highly recommend picking up the Panasonic 12-32mm lens. I’ve owned crazy expensive glass, but that performance to size to price of that lens really delights me.

I was literally in this same boat about a month ago but with the Panasonic G97 and GH7. In the end I went with the G97 and bought a 20mm anamorphic AF 20mm lens, got a 85mm 2.1 lens and last week got a 50mm 1.05. Save money and buy more lenses now and maybe a few years from now, you can revisit anot

I looked very closely at the OM-3 twice this year (before buying a G97 and G9II respectively) and the two things holding me back were: Warranty - Panasonic gives you 3 years warranty just by registering for free, and you get 4 if you buy on their own website and register. Like most companies they do

I just answered another post so I’ll give you the same recommendation. The Panasonic g97 is running about 600 usd on B&H with the 12-60 kit lens. Both the camera body and lens are weather sealed. The lens is generally well regarded. At 24-120mm ff equivalent it runs from a wide angle to a short tele

I have several friends who are wildlife photographers. TBH, getting really good wildlife photos typically requires high quality long lenses ($$$ + weight) and a good camera body ($$$ + weight). This isn't what you want so I would recommend getting a reasonably priced micro four thirds camera body an

B&H has the Panasonic G97 at 600 right now with a 12-60mm kit lens. That's a ff equivalent focal range of 24-120. The lens isn't the fastest but it is widely regarded as a good lens from what I'm reading. The camera and lens are both weather sealed. It's a good camera for photos and, as I understand

I travelled with my GX9 two days ago and let it charge on the bedside table. My lovely fking toddlers knocked it on the floor and the battery compartment got damaged (the little plastic button which holds the battery broke off). I gave it in for repairs. I absolutely love my GX9 (Panasonic, we need

Well, I'm not talking about compact cameras, they're just prone to failure regardless of the brand because of the motorised lens mechanism. But when it comes to interchangeable lens cameras, I still have my very first DSLR, it was a Canon EOS 300D, still works perfectly 22 years later. It looks and
