LUMIX G85

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

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

Yeah. I think if it wasn't for the GLARING compatibility issue, it'd probably be more palatable. But also have to consider the other issues mentioned like switching to a digital sensor loses all the film feel and his brother mentioning just going for a digital camera body and using the lenses you wa

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

my budget is really limited right now Without a budget we sadly can not help you. How much for all together, camera, lens, tripod, spare batteries and storage? Sony Alpha (I think the A7 IV), and that size and form factor Do you need realiable video autofocus yes or no? Thats a really important ques

Op, I'm quite well placed to help you here 😎 Many years ago, I had a Nikon D7100. I moved to a Lumix G85 and then the GH5. (So, a generation behind what you are looking at). I then sold the GH5 and bought a G9 after briefly moving to a Nikon Z6 and back. I'm now using a G9II. I suggest the G9 for th
