DC-G97MK

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

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 love landscapes. Love M 4/3. My first M 4/3 was the Lumix G2. At the same time I bought it I got the Olympus 9-18 mm. Still my favorite lens. Retractable design makes this lens very compact. It is very lightweight too. Don't go for the Panasonic 7-14.mm. It is much larger, heavier, more fragile, n

In that price range, use your phone. You can get some obsolete bodies online in that price range that might still produce good images but they might not have much lifespan left. And you would will still need to buy some lenses for it. Save up for something that’ll be better. At 600 usd you can get t

If you want a capable system at a relatively good price, the Panasonic G97 is going for around 600 usd on B&H right now. It's a small and light micro four thirds camera. It comes with the 12-60 kit lens. That's 24-120mm full frame equivalent. That'll provide a wide focal range that should do you wel

I don't recommend point and shoot cameras. Zoom lenses provide versatility at the expense of image quality. They're typically best at the center of the zoom range and image quality drops off towards each end. Very few of these lenses stay sharp across the entire focal range, and the few that have th

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

Virtually all my gear is Panasonic, so I can’t say much about the OM-1. And I’ve never felt the need for a 25mm lens, so I can’t comment on that either. If you’re mainly doing stills, another camera to take a look at is the often neglected G95, now rebadged as the G97. Basically the same guts as the

I'm confident that the level of technology in 2025 will allow for excellent photo quality. Unless you're a professional photographer taking huge shots for advertisements on Broadway or Tverskaya Street, the quality of any M4/3, APSС, or FF camera will be sufficient for you. Therefore, size, ergonomi
