Help- I'm starting a podcast and I suck with cameras.
Camera “phone” or if you have a budget g85 with mechanical lens for cheap. Medium budget Panasonic s5ii and a lens. Audio need shure 7mb or similar based on budget xlr is king. Good mixer so many options. Just make sure it’s 32 bit float. Helps in post Editing. Davinci…. That’s all you need!

The GH5 for life
You could be me. I stated on the g85 as it was called in Ireland too. Have a GH7 now and the AF has really opened up more movement and play. But still use a GH5 as a second camera. With the right grade it can blow people away. Have a FX30 too - via work- can’t deal with the menu systems and ergonomi

Coming from "smartphone photography" – is MFT a good starting point?
Strongly seconding this, though I would recommend the Olympus 12-40 2.8 over the Panasonic 12-35 (which still is a great lens, mind) The Panasonic is smaller, but with a camera as big as the G9, the Olympus handles better in the hand imo It has somewhat better optical performance too which isn't a d

Is upgrading to a G9 from a G85 for portrait/snapshot photography worth it?
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

Best overall DSLR in the $300 - $500 range?
If you want decent video capabilities you should be looking at mirrorless and not DSLRs. You'll certainly need to buy seperate lenses if you want to do "close up" shots as that'll require a macro lens https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g85/sku-3729599 https://www.mpb.com/en-us/pro

G9 in 2025?
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

Потрібна порада: обираю камеру, можливо хтось користувався Panasonic G80 (G85)?
Panasonic g9, і відео 4k60p(хоч і 10хв) і по фото супер. Хват зручний. Lumix 25 хороший на свої гроші, 45 олік також. Маю ще 75, оце вже ванлав для портретів. Кітовий 12-60 ніби норм. І про 56мм також хороші відгуки. G85 я б не розглядав. G9/GH5(вони будуть на довго). І завжди вкладайтесь в обʼєктив

Recommendations for weather sealed M43 camera?
I'd go with an em 1.2 or 1.3. And either the Olympus 12-45 or 12-40 Pro zoom. If you don't mind a slower more variable aperture, you could also get the older and cheaper Olympus 12-50 that will give you a little more range at the cost of aperture and a little sharpness. You can easily get either of

Best compact camera under $500?
https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g85/sku-3298094 https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/panasonic-lumix-g-vario-14-42mm-f-3-5-5-6-ii-asph-mega-o-i-s/sku-3188685 The G85 with the 14-42 II is probably the best hybrid body you can get, and it's very friendly for beginner.

Should I keep the G9 or the G90 or get rid of both?
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
