LUMIX GX7

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

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

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

I love using rangefinder style bodies. I miss my Panasonic GX7. Great for holidays, or just wandering around cities etc. I upgraded to a G80. I do love it, and get some great use out of it. But I never really bring it on holiday.

I have an iPhone 17 Pro and also micro four thirds kit.The phone is always with me and is a very useful phot source, rainproof, easy to edit, usefully transferable media, good range of focal lengths and its night vision is quite astonishing. Ive taken shots alongside my “proper” kit and sometimes fi

I have been thinking about pulling the trigger on the OM3. I have OM5 and panasonic gx7. I like them both. I have been toying with getting a FF. looking at the Nikon z5ii but when i handled it in the store it seems too big. I like the small m43 kit i have and no complaints about the pictures i can c

Got a freelance gig in 2014 that required access to a professional camera. I needed something very cost effective, my budget was £200. Options were a Fuji XM1, a Pentax KP, a Canon EOS M or the Olympus EPL5. The Olympus had a few drawbacks, not least a lack of EVF or focus peaking, but it came with

I shoot M4/3, APSC and FF. What M4/3 camera and lenses do you currently own? I traveled for years with a GX7 and Oly 12-40,2.8 lens and got great results. If you’re not shooting fast moving objects or need larger than 16x20 prints, M4/3 is really good. Even them Oly and Panasonic make top notch came

I had a GX800. I felt the Panasonic jpg profiles were pretty good, especially the black and whites. You can adjust saturation, contrast, sharpness and white balance, but it doesn't have the highlight/shadow curve adjustment options you would have in the GX9 tier and above cameras. There are no custo

GX7 was a great size except it needed a better thumb placement tab and GX85/9 were the successor. Not sure why Panasonic doesn’t put out a GX10, since they have the body already. It seems corporate has decided that the photography unit has to use one body for M4/3 and FF. The G9II body isn’t as nice
