You understand that as soon you add IBIS it will no longer be a “GM1 markll”… not even a “GM5 markII”. It needs to be thicker. In the dream land (Panasonic as any other company is ruled by their finances and bets that have profit) I would prefer them to make the possibly smallest IBIS+PDAF camera wi

Disclosure: I own the G9 II and shoot on GH7's and FX30's for work. I'm gonna have some bias towards the Panasonic offering so take this with a grain of salt. The G9 II is probably the closest you can get in the Lumix lineup at a cheaper price point. It's currently on sale at Amazon for 1.6k body on

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

I saw a recent comparison of the IBIS of one of the latest Panasonic FF cameras vs the G9ii or GH7 and the person who did it reached the conclusion that that FF camera in particular had better IBIS. Considering how much tech has advanced, it might be more of an issue of Olympus vs Sony than m43 vs F

We are both hybrid shooters so video is pretty important. And I just got done shooting an event with my G9ii and the 50-200 and got tripod/monopod like shots at 600mm full frame equivalent with crop zoom handheld thanks to IBIS. I think a lot of the target audience who mostly want a travel photograp

Not many people here do video. You would be better off posting in the videography sub. Every time someone comes in here asking about cinema cameras, most cinema cameras are inappropriate for their needs. I am confident that you are better off with a hybrid or content creator type camera. Many people

That is so kind of you! Pleased to meet you! My wife competes in Hoopers, and our life revolves a lot around this community.

For birds, handheld, both IS and AF are useful. If you plan to keep the Lumix 100-300 mm and want the best IS, you should go with a G85 or GX85. You'll get Dual IS. Lumix OIS will not work with Olympus IBIS. You get either/or. No PDAF for you, but DFD AF is good. To get PDAF and Dual IS you need a G

I run this combo - it's actually my one and only Olympus lens. It works great, no problems with AF whatsoever, tack sharp, etc.. Maybe you could get better performance with dual IS, but the in-body stabilization of the G9ii is pretty spectacular and I honestly don't notice any difference shooting wi

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
