I just won an award at an art show with an image taken on a GX80/85 with the Panasonic Leica 15 mm. I printed 16 by 20 inches. I use DXO pure raw which eliminates any issues with noise at higher ISO.

Absolutely true. In my 20 years of photography experience, I've switched between various brands and mounts numerous times, but I always came back to Micro Four Thirds (mFT). Now, I'm here to stay. I appreciate that you highlighted the image quality, as many KZfaqrs tend to downplay it with phrases like "the image quality is sufficient," implying it's only marginally better than a smartphone. That's far from the truth! With the right lens, mFT delivers fantastic image quality, often indistinguishable from cameras that cost five times as much. Go for mFT; you likely won't regret it. Thank you for speakinh out.

Ik heb een Panasonic GM-5 met kunststof 12-32mm lensje als tweede camera bij wandeltochten. De GM-5 is het formaat van een mik-en-klik maar met een zoekertje en produceert met het kleine lensje prima kwaliteit froto's. Video is gedateerd. Het geheel past makkelijk in een jaszak.

Similar: I sold my Ricoh GRIII to buy this camera. For the money I got the GX80 with the kit lens and two additional lenses. No regrets whatsoever. Brilliant image quality and I frequenty make A2+ prints.

@PaulTakesPhotos 3 ай бұрын

Lumix is great and I print normally A3 or A2 and the image quality is excellent. I do have to admit that the prints from my full frame cameras (Leica Q &, Sony A7iii) do seems to render a little more detail and sharpness, but that is really peeping.

@@PaulTakesPhotos If you up the resolution a little with Super Resolution in Photoshop or Topaz Gigapixel or Photo AI you won't be able to tell the difference. And even without that it's usually good enough. I also have the Fuji XH2 and I find that the 40MP sensor is only rarely a genuine benefit.

Are they worth the current asking price with the two included lenses?

@paulanderson24 2 ай бұрын

@@t.armstrong3119 depends on the price and lenses. If you don’t care about a fast lens, the 12-32 kit lens is a little beast and pairs well with it. IMO it’s still worth the price it was at release with the caveat that you expect the limitations compared to more modern bodies - but that’s not an issue for 9/10 scenarios

In 2018 I bought a GX80 because it was cheap, £350 new including a 12-32 pancake lens. Even at launch in 2016 the GX80 16mp sensor was seen as old hat, and there didn't seem a big future for the camera which is why Panasonic were selling them at a budget price two years later. Since then the GX80s merits have been reappraised, and prices have risen. It is rare for a digital camera with "old" technology to be re-evaluated, but the GX80 hits a sweet spot of size and performance.

@willgreig8912 4 ай бұрын

How do you find the pancake for street only having AFS, eg moving subjects. The AFC actually is no worse than an Fuji XE4. Touch to shoot focus is awesome.

@PaulTakesPhotos 4 ай бұрын

I think the 20mm is a great lens, fast enough. As for AF it works perfect in single. Same as on fujifilm if you want fast af(c) buy Sony, but those are no fun to shoot with :)

It's my favorite body. Bought it new in 2020 on black friday with 2 lens for 325€ I think. The two lenses are panasonic 25mm 1.7 and 12-32mm pancake zoom. I got also Olympus 12-40mm 2.8 pro and that lens I can recommend! It really is a pro quality lens! Also the olympus 60mm macro is amazing. I want to buy the 45mm olympus because of it's size but also great iq. Batteries are not very long lasting but 3rd party batteries are not expensive. AND it uses same battery as my tz90!

@PaulTakesPhotos 3 ай бұрын

I used to own the 25mm and the olympus 45mm. I sold them all (episode that I never aired). In my opinion the olympus 45mm is one the great lenses on the MFT mount and I do agree that the batteries could be better, but they could also be a lot worse to be honest. The black friday deal you had is the best one I've ever seen :)

@noisefekt 3 ай бұрын

Well yes the batteries are no Sony a7ii- level batteries(soo bad) what I also own. But yes I haven't seen that kind of a deal ever since. I think they might have thought nobody want to those "shitty" micro four thirds cameras anymore :D:D @@PaulTakesPhotos

@josephgledhill9294 3 ай бұрын

I owned the Gx80 but sold it looking to upgrade but camera manufacturers seemed to have stopped making small rangefinder cameras. I'm thinking of buying it again because I miss it. However, I think I might get the Olympus e-p7 instead as it is smaller, lighter, 20mp not 16mp and does 4k video without any crop. So it seems better. It does not have an evf but I never used it. What puts me off is the gimmicky selfy screen that flips down, you can't buy it in all black and it is too expensive.

No perfect camera unfortunately, that said Panasonic and Olympus produced a ton of small, rangefinder cameras which on the used market are bang for your buck

Very few lenses beat the Leica fixed lens on the Q series. Point is that the 20mm and a Lumix camera cost you a quarter of a 100v and 100vi and renders great quality.

Here in the USA the GX9 sells for more than twice the price of the GX85 e.g. $389 v $860 on mpb usa. That's a lot extra for 4MP more and the articulating EVF.
