LUMIX GH7

Smallest micro four thirds body ever--the GM1 from 2013, size of a deck of cards--combined with one of the fastest-longest lenses on system, the Voigtlander f0.95 60mm. The lens is amazing. I actually use it on my GH7. P.S. Panasonic, please make another ultra compact MFT body!

The GH7 is the best hybrid MFT-camera on the market if you look at the features. It has 25MP, the best hand held high res and pretty good DR for stills. It has a video performance that is better than most other cameras in the price range. It is an extremely reliable work horse for people who need to

The cheap camera will be something useless that no one cares about. I have a theory that the more expensive camera could be the small modern MFT camera everyone wants. A few YouTubers I follow have been mysteriously pimping out MFT all of a sudden. Being given GH7 by Panasonic to “test” out of nowhe

Olympus / OM has always been the dominant brand in M43s. Not that nobody uses Panasonic. Panasonic have also not exactly been doing a lot in the M43s space in recent years. There’s still plenty of good gear but what is relatively new is fairly niche (GH7 for example). OM has much more of the mainstr

I hate to be that guy, but here it goes. You can make great videos with cameras that are literally 15 years old, it is not about if the cameras are capable but how easy it is and if you have hard criteria ("cinematic" comes down to your understanding of light, framing, story telling and editing). No

S5ii is Panasonics entry level full frame camera made using quite an older sensor that. The g9ii is a more niche product but also a higher end model, just that its a m4/3 which some will see as a crippled camera. I personally would take gh7 over a s5ii anyday of the week

Disclosure: I own the G9 II and shoot on GH7's and FX30's for work. I'm gonna have some bias towards the Panasonic offering so take this with a grain of salt. The G9 II is probably the closest you can get in the Lumix lineup at a cheaper price point. It's currently on sale at Amazon for 1.6k body on

No point for M43 to compete in areas where it's 100% losing out. Better to focus on it's strengths like portability and good enough image quality. As others have mentioned, once you factor in equivalence everything falls apart. Lenses like the 8-25 and 40-150 f4 are great examples that embody the M4

For photography, sure. Lenses like the OM 40-150 2.8 is great for sports and auto focus is amazing. Event videography Olympus isn’t it. You can reuse your pro lenses and do video on Panasonic bodies, the GH7 is widely regarded as one of the best video cameras out there. But for dualographers I’d say

Actually the Panasonic 10-25mm F1.7 is around a F3.4 full frame dof, slightly shallower dof than the 16-35mm F4 on your S9, maybe consider a 16-35mm F2.8. Unless you mean stabilisation... in which I don't think you can match the m43 GH7/G9ii on full frame
