It's baffling, specially as they need to gain market share. Nikon even has internal RAW, will this have it? And if it does, will it be an useful codec or the same useless ProresRaw that's on the GH7? What I can Panasonic offering is better color science, much better IBIS, Open Gate and better interf

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

What more could the GH8 actually add that the GH7 doesn’t already have? More resolution? Higher frame rates? On such a small Micro Four Thirds sensor, increasing resolution feels pointless. I think Panasonic has already extracted close to the maximum dynamic range possible from a sensor of this size

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

If Panasonic finally decides to release small body (GX9 or G90 successor) with PDAF and Real Time LUT that would suit your needs just perfect. 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

i think i could answer this down to the exact situation you're in. my dad used to shoot oly and had two old 4/3 lenses left for me when i started, that same 14-50 you have, and an oly 12-35 f/2. he bought me a gh7 for my birthday and suggested the idea of adapting his grails of 4/3 lenses onto my mf

I was thinking Panasonic because of the out of nowhere partnership on the GH7. PE probably won't want it. Production's shrinking by something like 50%, so a bull case is really iffy. The more I think about it, a Chinese company makes the most sense. They've been making major strides recently and get

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
