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

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

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

for that look without spending too much, check out a used Sony ZV-E10 with a fast prime like the Sigma 16mm f/1.4. that combo runs under $800 used. another solid pick is the Panasonic G85 - it's older but has great color science and ibis for handheld. whatever you get, spend more on lighting than th

For birds, handheld, both IS and AF are useful. If you plan to keep the Lumix 100-300 mm and want the best IS, you should go with a G85 or GX85. You'll get Dual IS. Lumix OIS will not work with Olympus IBIS. You get either/or. No PDAF for you, but DFD AF is good. To get PDAF and Dual IS you need a G

There are so many great options in the M43 space. Unfortunately, many M43 bodies are being chased on the used market, driving the price up. Lucky for you, some bodies are not. The Panasonic G85 is the clear winner in my book in terms of value... I've owned mine for 10 years... It takes fantastic pho

One of the problems I've noticed is specifically with my Lumix gear. G85 and g9. Even with the pro lenses, I can't get a sharp shot below about 1/30th of a second with the Dual is and the F 2.8 Pro lenses. I could shoot the exact same shot at even longer focal lengths at 1/5 of a second on my Olympu

Panasonic Lumix G85, especially if you want hybrid photo/video. It's an excellent camera with all the features, an affordable lens ecosystem, and generally fun to use. It is also very lightweight as compared to most other DSLRs. Technically it is a mirrorless camera in the shape of a DSLR, but that'

You can turn off autofocus and the result would be the same. And the S5ii also has PDAF and wouldn’t overheat in the same conditions. There is no argument or excuse for this. I’m 27 years old. I’m not some “old school shooter”. I shoot hybrid weddings both photo and video which is specifically why I
