Posting bird photos every week until I'm good enough to justify a camera upgrade [Week 1]

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 there landscape photographers here using m43?

The two main requirements for landscapes are resolution and dynamic range. The best M43 camera in terms of both is the Panasonic G9ii. Its dynamic range at low ISOs is at least 1 stop wider than any camera with the “old” 20MP sensor because it combines its dual pipelines to capture more information.

What body to get next?

G9 is the cheapest camera I could tolerate for video but you have to use Lumix lenses or the autofocus will suck. If I had mostly OM lenses an OM3 would be the cheapest video camera I would want to use. G9II is objectively the best value MFT video camera. But if you’re using Olympus lenses on it the

Are there landscape photographers here using m43?

My personal anecdote: I use several OM lenses on my g9 II and I've never felt much difference in engagement with the sealing rings compared to Panasonic lenses. If anything the OM lenses are slightly 'tighter'. I sold my om-5 before I could test a pana lens on it so can't compare the opposite. But a

Should I upgrade from the GH5 to the S9 for concert coverage?

Short of the GH7, the G9II is the best M43 video camera you could get, hilariously so considering Panasonic marketed it as a photography-oriented camera and yet jam-packed it with about as many features as a video-centric camera like the S5IIX. The only major tradeoff is a lack of active cooling, bu

G9 II + OM System 100-400mm f/5-6.3 II — anyone running this cross-brand combo for wildlife/dog sports?

That is so kind of you! Pleased to meet you! My wife competes in Hoopers, and our life revolves a lot around this community. She competes with our mighty Boston Terrier and currently trains its successor Lurcher (Border Collies + Whippet). I do not consider myself an expert in the field, but can con

Lumix L10 Preview (Micro Four Nerds)

Yes, it is 2 stops of difference with noise. I did say that you can crank the iso way higher. However that advantage is lost when you have to shoot at f8 to get crisp wide angle images. This single issue has me considering selling my s1rii to go back to a G9ii. I shoot a lot of indoor events and spa

From Lumix to Canon to... Lumix again?

Panasonic cameras have really good ergonomics and features. And they don't cripple any features either. Like canon. I agree the G7 is a fun little camera just wish the autofocus was better. And low light performance. Which you will get with the g9, the g9ii, and of course with full frame. I think pa

Choisir mon premier boîtier animalier (micro 4/3 ou aps-c)

J'ai utilisé pas mal de temps le G9 premier du nom. Très bon appareil généraliste, excellente ergonomie, agréable à utiliser, mais (comme tous les m4/3), franchement pas terrible dès que la lumière manque. Mais en plein jour avec beaucoup de lumière, il se débrouille bien. Après niveau AF il y a mie

Does anyone here use the OM M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-100mm F4 IS Pro on a Lumix G9II?

The lens is mega, no matter the body or sync IS. I used it on both a G9 and E-M10 II and never found the stabilisation lacking The f4 aperture on the other hand can be a near-constant annoyance if you don't shoot exclusively in daytime or good weather. Image quality and handling are fantastic though
