LUMIX G85

G9 is the cheapest camera I could tolerate for video but you have to use Lumix lenses or the autofocus will suck. If I had mostly OM lenses an OM3 would be the cheapest video camera I would want to use. G9II is objectively the best value MFT video camera. But if you’re using Olympus lenses on it the

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

Panasonic Lumix G85 + 12-60mm f3.5-6.3 would have been also my first pick for OPs requirements.

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

Great lens. I've got the exact combo you're thinking of (G85), and I got it thinking it would be my "starter" lens. But honestly... it often holds its own for street stuff against my two walkabout primes. Very convenient having the zoom when you need it too. If there's not much difference in perform

Here you go: My beloved Panasonic 14-140mm II f3.5-5.6 . The shoot-everything lens. Its surprisingly sharp and versatile for a superzoom. Good for pseudo macro, street, landscape, wildlife and more. Its the lens that's on my G9 or G85 unless I'm doing something specific. The overlap with the 100-300

I second the overall approach, but include in your shopping the E-M1 Mark II, OM-5, and one of the PRO lenses, probably the 12-45 mm f/4. If you shoot in the dark, the 12-40 f/2.8. (Smaller f/number; bigger price tag.) For Panasonic also look at the two 12-60 mm lenses, and the G85/95/971 series. I'

I have a Panasonic G85, not Olympus but it has a 16mp sensor that is probably the same (or very similar) as what’s in the EM5ii. I personally find that it gives noticeably higher quality images vs smartphones - smoother tones and fewer processing artifacts. Dynamic range is less than the HDR that mo

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

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
