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!

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

I don't have the GH7, but I've got an S5iix. While I do love the camera and I knew that L mount lenses weren't quite as available as some of the competition (Sony in particular), I do feel like the amount of lenses available and the price of them is at least a bit more detrimental than I thought. Th

This is my first system and I’ve been loving it over the past year and a half. It is a little stagnant lately, but with that said on the Panasonic side, they do have 2 incredibly powerful cameras at the top of the line. The G9ii (I have this) and the GH7 are incredible. The biggest gripe seems to be

I'm in the exact reverse situation : only have oly lenses with an OM-5 and wanted to get into video so bought a GH7. Everything works very well and I still mainly use the 12-100 pro, except indoor for video where f4 is just too slow (i use oly 17 1.2 there). For still I would have stuck with OM Syst

Ahhhh now your comment makes alot more sense lol. I’m sorry for going at you like I did. Ya that’s a much more difficult situation for sure. I won’t lie, I used BMD and Panasonic cameras (I’ve owned everything else and this is where I landed) and I haven’t been disappointed. I do multicam setups wit

Now the GH7 is severely underperforming in sales compared to Panasonic’s other models. What is this based on? The Amazon top sellers list? I'm not doubting the claim, mind you. Just wondering. Anyway, you can see it even in this subreddit. Pansonic releases camera with specs and features better than

Youll find eventually that you dont want a hybrid camera at all, because the ergonomics of a Photocamera is poor for shooting Video, and vise versa. Just get 2 diffrent cameras. Even the Lenses, you want manual ones for Video and automatic ones for Photografy. A good way for you might be a uses FX30

Going to throw a curve at you: try the Panasonic GH7. You have to have at least a lens or two for the Panasonic you already have. I have a pair of FX-30s. I started using a GH5S because it was what was on hand with my current employer. I was impressed with it, and contrary to your experience--maybe-

You get the tool that you like to use, and that you want to pick up. If that’s MFT then it is. I faced same dilemma and went gh7 which is basically the g9ii and absolutely love it. Smaller lenses is so underrated, and you can get Leica lenses right from Panasonic. Get the tool that you want to take
