Help- I'm starting a podcast and I suck with cameras.

Camera “phone” or if you have a budget g85 with mechanical lens for cheap. Medium budget Panasonic s5ii and a lens. Audio need shure 7mb or similar based on budget xlr is king. Good mixer so many options. Just make sure it’s 32 bit float. Helps in post Editing. Davinci…. That’s all you need!

I hope this would be true..

The cheap camera will be something useless that no one cares about. I have a theory that the more expensive camera could be the small modern MFT camera everyone wants. A few YouTubers I follow have been mysteriously pimping out MFT all of a sudden. Being given GH7 by Panasonic to “test” out of nowhe

Why is the G9ii more expensive than the S5ii?

S5ii is Panasonics entry level full frame camera made using quite an older sensor that. The g9ii is a more niche product but also a higher end model, just that its a m4/3 which some will see as a crippled camera. I personally would take gh7 over a s5ii anyday of the week

Full Frame as a hobbyist?

I did because I'm ridiculous and wanted to treat myself. It's been so much more work than a beginner dslr to figure out and program a "one size fits most" mode, and only I can see the difference in the photos locally since they always get compressed online, even in dedicated cloud storage, but whate

New Lumix TZ-300 leaked

Panasonic literally said after last years’ S1s that the no other flagship camera is coming in at least 2 years so the only informations about S1HII are from people who just wishes it to be truth lol Why would you be disappointed? What do you think new S1s are lacking? Heck, even S5II? Its 2026, almo

My long-term LUMIX S1 ii review

Not sure if my opinion is of any value to you, but I'm a former S5II owner. I took advantage of Panasonic LUMIX's trade-in trade-up promotion, which provided me a $400 discount on the purchase of the new S series camera and I received ~$850 in value for my S5II (varies depending on condition, mine w

Which full-frame should I buy? Nikon Z6 III, Panasonic Lumix DC-S5IIX, Canon EOS R6 Mark II, and Sony Alpha 7 IV.I often shoot portraits (fast AF, great bokeh), travel (compact, versatile lenses), and groups (good sharpness, dynamic range).

Well it's good you mentioned affordable lenses because that cuts out Canon. The Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is a great fast lens that's well priced and light. Should help keep the price down from getting zooms and primes. They're for Sony or Nikon. Lumix have the kit lens 20-60mm and the new 24-60mm F2.8

If you had to rebuy into an ecosystem in this year what would you choose?

Either the Sony or Nikon ecosystem. Sony has the largest lens catalogue and Nikon has some interesting offerings like the Z5ii/Z8 which is priced very competitively. I would avoid the RF series because of the close mount. The Z5ii is pretty good bang for the buck, and Nikon has the f1.4 non-S lenses

Full circle, FX3 to S1 II then back to FX3.

Did pretty much the same thing a year ago with the Lumix S5ii. Got caught into hype and grass is greenered my way to Lumix. Missed Sony superior autofocus and customizing features. Sold my Sony kit at a loss for Lumix, realized Sony is my system, sold my Lumix kit at a loss, and bought back in to So

Which Lumix full-frame camera do you recommend for wedding photography?

As the one who converted from G9 myself, something like S5II will suit you just right and will improve autofocus because it now has PDAF instead of just DFD on G9. I did use S9 at first but really missed EVF, so took advantage of this Best Buy deal, that gets you S5II, 20-60 kit plus free 85mm f1.8
