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

The OM-5 is a winner in most ways. But the spec sheet doesn't actually capture how versatile and good Lumix AF system is, even the lowly 49 point system. You simply can't understand if you've never used it. Although you may get something of a sense based on reviews of the prior G95 such as this one:

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

I shot the G95 (almost identical to G97) for years before switching to the OG G9. I'm a video + stills shooter but will stick to photography related differences since you seem to only shoot photos. There's a lot of good information already shared, so I won't repeat what others have mentioned. I will

Since BIF is not your desire; I’d whole-heartedly recommend picking up a lightly used G95/G95D/G97. Another user already pointed out the major differences, of which there are very few. It’s pretty much a display upgrade each time & BT 5.0 on the G97. I just picked up the G97 myself a couple days ago

From my understanding there aren’t any other companies (maybe besides Olympus) that offer beginner-midrange cameras in a similar price point (both new and used) to the G85 & G97 that have IBIS, weather sealing, good both 4K & 1080p image quality, unlimited recording time and no overheating. I’ve sho

I know this is an old thread, but I just experienced this exact scenario and figured I’d share my experience between the two cameras. I shoot both photo and video so both aspects are important to me when choosing a camera, rather than focusing primarily on photo as the OP. I owned the R50 for about

If you want current production Panasonic, your reasonable choices are the G100 or the G97. The G100 is slightly larger & a bit more capable than your old camera. The G97 is larger still and still more capable. The biggest difference is that the G97 has IBIS and thus Dual IS. It's also large enough t

I guess that covers all the questions I can think of. In summary if I pick the G100D I'll get smaller size that fits in a coat pocket, lighter weight, better built in audio, a little better video tracking autofocus and an $80 lower price new. But only if I'm willing to give up the g97's better handh
