Why is it that nobody ever mentions any camera but olympus?

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

Need a "dad camera"--do I go good, better, or best? G97, G9ii, or S5ii?

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.

Which one to send back…

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

OM5 ii Alternative Recommendations

Panasonic Lumix G97 fits all of your list except the pocket-size form factor. It runs around $850 with a 12-60mm kit lens that's pretty good. Leaves you some money for a nicer and/or smaller lens.

What would you recommend for photography for a beginner ?

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

Hiking photography

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

What camera is a good choice for school performances?

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

Melyik kamerát ajánljátok ezek közül?

Én kezdésnek mindenképpen a használt piacon néznék körbe (Hardverapro, Facebook csoportok) miután kiválasztottad mi lesz. Fontos, hogy vedd kézbe a kiválasztott kamerát vásárlás előtt mindenképpen. Hiába meggyőző papíron az adott modell, ha nem áll a kezedre, nem fogod szeretni, nyűg lesz, és végül

Should I get the Lumix s9, gh5 or the Lumix s5 ii or another camera entirely for landscape/nature photography and vlogging?

Yeah, pricewise camera body is an addition to the lenses. For 35mm sensor ("full frame") Lumix S is rather good choice because you have acces to Panasonic, Sigma, Leica (I think they are crazy expensive), few Samyang and few Chinese lenses. Lumix G (smaller, 4/3 sensor) will offer in generall smalle

What’s a good beginner camera for roughly $200-300?

Most cameras are easy to use in that you can put them in auto mode and take pictures. A lot of the advantages of a camera don't come into play when they're used in auto mode but it's for a 12 year old so she has plenty of time to learn how to use if she desires. Low light photography is a function o
