LUMIX G7

Some of the older full frame canons DSLRs is probably your best bet. They're cheap and plentiful on the used market. Ditto for the lenses. Your other option is the crop Sensor Sony a6xxxx range. I think they might be over your budget once you add lenses. The even more budget option is Panasonic or O

"lack of lenses" bro you can literally adapt more lenses on this than most other sensors, you can even add a speed booster to reduce the assumed aperture, 0.71x is now available by viltrox as well, they also have a non glass element adapter, i use both so i have variable focal lengths with he same l

Please de-influence me from the G7x / Lens recommendation for a Panasonic Lumix G7? Hi! Last summer I went ton a trip and my friend had the Canon g7x. I know it’s an overhyped camera, but all the pics I took on it were so beautiful and effortless. The colors really stood out to me. I know almost not

DMC-G7 here! I have built a nice array of lenses for this, and I'm waiting for an opportunity to upgrade the body. Small, lightweight, weatherproof M43 with newer features is what I'm waiting for (if I don't cave in and buy a G9II). I believe I'm not the only one waiting for Panasonic to reconcile t

I just found this thread on the exact same thing: here It seems the g7 is great for starting out, but if you can afford the g80/85 it will benefit you with the stabilization feature.

For that budget, maybe a used panasonic g80 with the 45-200 or 14-140 for more versatility. If you want to down the price a little you can go for the g7 (almost like the g80 but without ibis). On my account you can see my pictures, they come from a lumix g7 paired with the 14-140 ii or the 100-300 i

I have an iPhone 17 Pro and also micro four thirds kit.The phone is always with me and is a very useful phot source, rainproof, easy to edit, usefully transferable media, good range of focal lengths and its night vision is quite astonishing. Ive taken shots alongside my “proper” kit and sometimes fi

Check mpb.com. Its a used gear reseller. They sell used camera equipment. That enables you to skip all the private used gear buying problems. If you need a lens as well you’ll be limited to the much older models. But there is still a lot of choice there. If you don’t need a lens because you can borr

There's a lot of variables at play here. Are you looking to buy into a brand/lens ecosystem? Are you looking for more of a point and shoot? Are you good buying second hand or would you rather buy new? etc... Anecdotally I bought into the Lumix (Panasonic) MFT ecosystem with the G7 back in like 2018

i’ll post this even tho this post is dead. i’ve had the lumix g7 for years, and I’ve never liked it. So I figured that I would start shooting actual film, and got myself a leica m6 rangefinder camera, which is quite expensive. I then began developing my film at home for the last year or more, I scan
