LUMIX GX7

Many things you could have and should researched before buying into m43. Instead you're calling an entire format a scam. You did get scammed, bro, but it's all on you and your own very bad choices given your requirements. Additional notes: The Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 is a very fine lens but it doesn't co

Do you really need an evf? I think the best compact interchangeable camera is the pen ep7, almost 100g lighter than the gx7/85, has ibis (some other compacts don't), 20mp sensor... And as for lenses, I use it with a Panasonic 14mm f2.5 when I want it to be jacket pocketable and with my 12-45 f4 when

More choice the better. You don’t have to buy it. I suppose you’re not a fan of the TTA 40mm either? Plenty of people have fond memories and done superb work with pancakes like the 20mm f1.7 Panasonic, and it looks to offer S9 users a similar style and form factor. I adored my GX7 and GX80 with that

I always thought this. When I was looking for a mirroless I ended up looking at the NEX-6 and one of the Panasonics (Think it might have been the GX7 or 8). The Panny's bodies were actually larger than the Sony's and so I went with the Sony.... realising too late that the M4/3 benefit is really in t

The stabilzation comment mostly matters because a lot of Panasonic bodies (even those that aren't that old, like the G7 or G100) don't feature IBIS, as Panasonic mostly invested in OIS rather than sensor stabilization. Olympus did the exact opposite, they invested heavily on IBIS, which allowed them

Taken with a Panasonic GX7 and an Olympus 50mm f1.8 vintage lens with a manual OM to m4/3 adapter. I used to take a lot of shots while walking along my local canal. This felt like it came from another era when it came out.

You can find the list here: https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/connect/dual_is.html Yes some of the very cheap lenses are supported, with some firmware upgradable for dual I.S. 2 operation. I think the only camera with IBIS that doesn't support dual I.S. is the 2 axis GX7.

A modern smart phone with the right settings can give you some surprisingly good results! Do some tests with whatever you have access to right now, it might do the trick. Other than that, an older/cheaper DSLR still gives great results. I've done a bit of photogrammetry with a Canon 5d mk ii which i

TBH, I own or have owned a Panasonic G5, and GX7 and an Olympus E-M1 mk II. Sooc I prefer Panasonic's colour science. Outside of that I primarily shoot Nikon and consider their colour science the best.

Consider an em5iii or om5, 414g, they are dslr-shaped but small, they have a minmal grip that is comfortable enough (especially the om5ii, but not worth the extra price vs the mk i just for that) and phase detect AF. If your jacket pockets are big enough, it can fit with a small lens. If you want a
