LUMIX G9

Panasonic G9 or G85/90 second hand will be good for video.

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

Are you sure the L Mount Sigma 100-400 can be adapted to the G9? Usually you can't adapt mirrorless lenses to mirrorless bodies. You need the extra flange distance of the older mirrored lenses/bodies to accommodate the adapter for the mirrorless body. Unless you're talking about an older mirrored Si

As the one who converted from G9 myself, something like S5II will suit you just right and will improve autofocus because it now has PDAF instead of just DFD on G9.

You can make great videos with cameras that are literally 15 years old, it is not about if the cameras are capable but how easy it is and if you have hard criteria ("cinematic" comes down to your understanding of light, framing, story telling and editing). No

I use my camera almost exclusively for family life. 10 bit video, reliable human tracking and good stabilization are the main things to look for in a hybrid dad cam. I wouldn’t recommend an OM-5 or GX9 for your use, because they both lack 2 out of the 3 things I mentioned above. I’ve owned an E-M10

well..... DUH. But OBVIOUSLY manufacturers have the data to show its NOT worth making quality smalls. MAYYYYYYYYYYYYBE rn just because theres nothing else on the market.

I wouldn't say it's video first. It's just that Lumix actually gave you the video features required to fully utilize the capabilities of the camera. The competition often kneecapped their cameras by treating video as a gimmick. Even on Sony cameras, which were popular for video and had capable hardw
