LUMIX GH7

At least for M43, Panasonic’s newer cameras are either kinda middling (G100) or well-specced but bulky (GH7, G9ii). Seems like the preference is for smaller/lighter bodies with good features/IBIS, and Oly/OM just covers that better. That said, go check the used prices for the GX and GM lines, people

The S5II kit 20-60 isn't the sharpest wide open. It also isn't the fastest. The difference in DOF between Full frame and MFT is 2 stops of aperture. A Panasonic 10-25 F1.7 would actually give you a shallower depth of field and more light than the 20-60. But that is a big expensive lens, and the GH7

In fact its heavier than canon R5 II and Sony A1 II GH7 is really a production video-camera inside a DSLR body without the mirror, I have no idea why they just did not stick it inside a camcorder body with that weight

For now, google says that only compatible bodies are G9 mk2, GH7 and bunch of full frames (S9, S5II, S5IIX, S1IIE, S1II, S1RII). From those S9 with grip migh

Mostly the speed. An updated sensor of the OM-1 with faster readout than the Z9 is crucial. It doesn't make sense that a stacked sensor with less than half the resolution and 1/4 the size reads out slowest in the market. So a 2ms or 1ms sensor, faster write speeds or file generation would be perfect

Looking at what's topping the sales charts where I live (Asia, the biggest consumer market), I can tell you what's selling and what Panasonic should look into making: 1 - Compact lens fixed cameras. Stuff like the Ricoh GR, Fuji X100, Canon G7X. These sell millions of units. Lumix could pack their n

Exactly. The huge appeal of micro four-thirds early on was that you had a choice between SLR-style bodies and more compact rangefinder-style bodies with a corner viewfinder. Today, the only current lines still being refreshed: the Panasonic GH (GH7 = $1800 [prices new, body only on B&H]) and G optio
