Recommend avoiding the EZ lens. The ribbon cable that controls auto focus has a reputation for coming detached, with no easy DIY solution. If you can, see if you can find the Lumix 12-32 lens that usually comes with the G100. It's tiny and excellent (for the price point you're looking at). The Lumix

I'm no astro expert, but I enjoyed trying some Milky Way shots at the weekend. Lumix G100 Laowa 7.5mm F2.0, 20 seconds, 3200ISO Edited in DXO.

I'm not a huge fan of the S9 body. It's more of a fashion accessory, and it's not even that small, all things considered (no EVF, no MSHTR - at least it's got IBIS). I would like to see the sensor in a G100 body - with IBIS. Probably not realistic though - both physically and considering how Panason

Given how ridiculously popular G100 and G100D is for Panasonic, I don't think they ever will. I remember on one of their livestreams they were asked why it didn't have IBIS and they responded that the G100 was already their best selling camera. between this and the S9 I don't think they'll ever rele

By default I would tell you to get rid of the 14-42mm and 40-150mm and consolidate them into the excellent Panasonic 14-140mm f3.5-5.6 but you're trying to get money not spend it :P But yes sell the GH4 and the G100. They're both good cameras but u're not making use of them or they're redundant with

Love this! My combo right now is the G100D with the 20mm f1.7. So much fun

Not one person here has mentioned shooting with stabilized lenses. Or flash sync speed. Not surprising. Let me help you out. If you tend to shoot primes at slower shutter speeds, you'll benefit a lot from IBIS. If you shoot with stabilized lenses (as many Panasonic lenses are) and/or don't tend to s

The Lumix 20mm f1.7 wasn't made for chasing toddlers (at least, not with autofocus - you'll have to stop down and zone focus). Honestly, neither was the GX9 (go ahead and downvote me, fanboys, but I've had the GX85, G95, G100 and G9 and I've raised two kids so I think I have enough experience here).

This is probably too long a subject for a single comment but I'll try. First, all Lumix m43 cameras except the G9ii and GH7 exclusively rely on an autofocus method called contrast detect autofocus (CDAF). Under the hood, this method adjusts the lens's focus element(s) back and forth as rapidly as po

Olympus and Panasonic gave birth to M43 and now they are proceeding to kill it off, not sure why olympus is doing that considering that's only what they sell 😂. This is clear example of management failure as usual. If I were panasonic and olympus I would be releasing small M43 bodies based on PEN an
