Lumix L10 Preview (Micro Four Nerds)
I'm sorry but I feel like Panasonic is helpless. They swing and miss with everything since the GX85. I love what they are trying to do but this leaves so many questions. I also love Emily's videos, but she is a content creator, she raves about a camera like the OM-3, then a couple weeks after her "1

Beginner dad: What’s the best hybrid camera hybrid (S9 vs other options) for my situation?
I use my camera almost exclusively for family life. 10 bit video, reliable human tracking and good stabilization are the main things to look for in a hybrid dad cam. I wouldn’t recommend an OM-5 or GX9 for your use, because they both lack 2 out of the 3 things I mentioned above. I’ve owned an E-M10

Why does Panasonic pump out premium m43 cameras but make the S9 so cheap and plastic?
Actually, Fuji had huge price hikes over the years (I'm a fuji user), especially with their latest cameras like the X100VI and XE5, yet people are still buying them (Including me lol). You said Lumix wants to keep prices lower but L10 cost $1500 which is like only a hundred dollar less than the X100

What are some photography hot takes?👀
almost every camera aimed at photographers needs to have a viewfinder, in most situations not using a viewfinder just ruins the endire experience, its neither ergonomic/comfortable nor stable. its insane how many new caemras are coming out without viewfinders and how rare optional evfs are consideri

Why does Panasonic pump out premium m43 cameras but make the S9 so cheap and plastic?
I'm sorry how does that have to do with anything I said though? I asked why Panasonic didn't have a premium retro camera for their FF lineup despite them releasing premium m43 cameras. I then mentioned other manufacturers including Fuji having premium retro models. FYI Fuji does have a premium retro

Really disappointed in the S9 build quality
Common compliant. I'm hoping for an upgraded video 's7/s8' at some point bc the Canon 'v' series of cameras are really starting to look like video competitors to lumix. as is the ZR, though i'm sticking with the s9 at this point. the plasticky builds are getting annoying. om-3 supposedly did well.

I'm starting to think it's impossible to make a small m43 body with current technology
And smaller sensor should mean everything can be relatively smaller than larger formats, but that's not been the case in recent years. It's likely due to the new stacked sensor needing more heat dissipation regardless of how large said sensor is. Meanwhile Fuji and Sony are able to make newer camera

Beginner dad: What’s the best hybrid camera hybrid (S9 vs other options) for my situation?
I just bought a mint condition second hand S5II in Tokyo for 160k JPY or ~1000 USD and it’s such a great camera. The lowlight capabilities are insane, I’ve taken photos at 25k ISO and while there is some noise, it’s minimal and honestly quite aesthetically pleasing compared to the Rebel SL3 that I u

Canon user to Lumix S9
I just bought an S9 to supplement my Canon R7, and while I haven’t done much testing yet I can say the ergonomics are awful (as you’d expect), the build quality lacking (especially the buttons and dials), and the thing isn’t that compact or light (feels like a brick), the autofocus is worse (though

S1RII/S1II grip material kinda loose?
There have been some quality of life issues with build quality since the S5ii on Lumix bodies, which is a shame. The leatherette not adhearing is a common issue with bodies from the S5ii onwards. The S9 has issues with it's dials, specifically it's backdial. My OG s5 is nearly perfect since I got it
