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

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.

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

All Panasonic lenses with OIS except the first gen 14-45, 14-42, 45-200, 100-300 and 45/2.8 Macro are capable of Dual IS, and the only body with IBIS that does not support Dual IS is the venerable GX7.

Just to be clear - the GX8 has IBIS for shooting photos. But it turns off when you take video. There are three kinds of stabilization - and then hybrids that combine them. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) uses a prism in the lens to shift the image before it hits the sensor. It was the first, and s

You're welcome. I will also say that Panasonic and Godox compatibility isn't quite as good as Olympus/Godox compatibility, even though the two systems are supposed to share the same four-thirds hotshoe; it's kind of like the issues with lens stabilization even though they're supposed to share the sa
