LUMIX G85

The GH5 and G9 are the top picks. After that, G85 and G7 are pretty tied, but I’ve owned both and the G85 build quality, ibis, improved shutter mechanism, weather resistance, and dual battery grip is worth it. If you need reliable autofocus for video, around that price you’re limited to the e-M1ii,E

I think it goes without saying but you can only consider used gear for this budget range. If your budget of $400 must cover lens and body, you'll have to really economize. Here are some kit ideas to consider: BODIES (up to around $400): - Oly: EM5, EM5ii, EM1 - Panasonic: G85, G95 LENSES (up to arou

The G9 is both much better and a bit worse than the G85 (I have a G81, its European cousin). Things that are better on the G9: The 20MP sensor has both lower noise and better dynamic range processing speed. The camera just feels much more zippy in general better AF, including much better face/eye de

50 mm point is valid but it doesn't really matter what the f stop is, it matters more about the focus distance from the subject, if you are focusing far away from the camera everything will be in focus, if you are focusing on something closer to the minimum focus distance then it will blow everythin

EM5ii was one of my favorite cameras ever. Felt amazing in the hand, build quality was fantastic, one of the first with beautiful retro looks, and at the time just an overall great camera. Ever since that camera, the EM5/OM5’s have just felt like cheap little toys. That mixed with the lack of any ne

I will have my G95 shortly to give more precisions on that but i can still answer . What i liked the most from the G85 to any other cameras was the mechanical shutter , simply the best ever wich is supposely the same on the G95 . What i liked the least was the face recognition . It saw the subject b

I Shoot full frame Cannon rf, crop rf, and all the Olympus em1 variants, as well as g85, g95, and I recently acquired a G9. I always wanted a G9. I can't say the autofocus is nearly as sticky as the pdaf in my Olympus gear for faster action, but I can tell you it is by far the most fun camera I've e

Personally, I would not buy an EM5ii. That's an old camera body and there were some known issues with that body even when it was like new, such as the on/off switch not working and the EVF getting green blobs in it if you used positive diopter adjustment and any direct sun ever hit it. I had one and

Was thinking this exactly. m43 is perfect for travel. I've gotten amazing shots with my Panasonic G85 (amazing deals on these... and it's weather-sealed!) and the Olympus E-P5 (I'm a sucker for its looks).
