I agree, USB power is a great feature. Thanks for sharing.

Grazie mille! Good to hear you are happy with your camera.

Sounds awesome, it's a great little camera.

Thanks! Always appreciate comments from EU😀

Thanks for your comment. I haven't used the face AF much, but sometimes use the tracking AF and mostly MF in video.

Thanks! I'd like to review the 14-140mm, but I don't have it. If I can borrow it for a review, I'll make it.

The G9 is an exceptional value right now. What do you mean by the dual control set up? Both have similar control layout, two control dials on the top and one on the back.

Thank you! I don't have a review on the G9, but I do have a comparison between the G9 and G90. It's easy to find, if you browse the channel.

What telephoto lenses do you use for your G9? I have Olympus lenses (40-150mm f2.8 PRO + MC-14 teleconverter and 75-300mm f4.8-6.7 II), and I haven't been blown away by the autofocus performance on my G85 compared to my original OM-D E-M1. Does the DFD with Panasonic lenses make that much of a difference for tracking birds in flight?

@@danieldougan269 The only Panasonic telephoto lens I have is the Panasonic 100-300 ii and it's mostly consistent on the G9. Sometimes, it won't grab focus and I know I am outside the minimum focusing distance. I think the G9 tracking is usually good and I find it easier to get flight shots with it than with the Olympus. I have been thinking about getting the Olympus 40-150 f2.8 PRO and 1.4 teleconverter for it. I rented that lens last year and tried on my Olympus OMD-E-M1 and I liked it. I had problems with birds in flight but I was also learning the camera so probably my inexperience caused it. I also have the Olympus 75-300 but I feel that is more inconsistent than the Panasonic 100-300 ii. I have not tried the Olympus 75-300 on the G9 yet. I am probably going to rent the Panasonic 100-400 but I am concerned about the reliability of that lens as well as the cost. I did rent the Panasonic 50-200 and that's a beautiful lens but still not that consistent on the G9 either. When it nails the focus, the results are stunning. I'm not sure about the DFD in terms of birds in flight. I feel that the problems I have are more lens-related than camera-related. I noticed there is a firmware update for the G9 that I need to apply so perhaps that might improve the tracking with the lens I have.

Thanks, Marko! I should be more clear and careful what I say😀 I didn't exactly mean it's not worth upgrading, but rather that you should think if the G90/95 is that much better than the G80/85 for you. I'd also like more robust and semi pro rangefinder type Lumix, but I'm not sure if that's gonna happen.

You can turn off the screen when you put your face to the EVF on the gx80

Good afternoon from Helsinki. According to DPR the G95 has 1.24 M dot LCD and the G90 has 1.04 M dot OLED. It's interesting why they did that.

@@mattisulanto -- that is an interesting difference. From what I can find online, the rear screen was the same on the G80 vs. G85. A few other things -- the US G85 does not have a video recording time limit. And the 4K crop factor on the G85 is less than that of the G90 (although the exact amounts quoted are never exactly the same on various websites!). But the G90 definitely brings a bunch of other upgrades with it -- even just 20MP for stills vs. 16MP. Thanks!

Many European models have had the recording limit, because of the stupid legislation over here.

Maybe they do, that would be nice for us Lumix users.

That would be under €700, not bad😀

Thanks for your comment. Of course there are several great travel combos and the GX9 is one great camera too. If I could borrow the GX9, I'd more than happy to make a video, but right now I don't know where to borrow one.

Thanks. The tilt screen stays behind the camera and is faster to use, in photography, that is.

@@mattisulanto I understand, thanks for your quick answer!

Your next lens depends on what you shoot. I would probably buy a wide angle, like the Leica 15mm F1.7 or the Sigma 16mm F1.4. Someone else might buy a tele zoom, like the Lumix 35-100mm F2.8 for example. Maybe you use your 30mm a bit more and when you realize what you want, then buy another lens.

@@mattisulanto Thank you so much for the reply!! I am more into videography as I am an actor-director. I do love the crispness of the Sigma 30mm. Take care hope to speak soon 👍🏿

I have tried several copies of the 12-60mm and they all have been really good, but it's possible that yours is just a bad copy. The Olympus 12-45mm is sharp lens, but it's not THAT much sharper than the Lumix 12-60mm. If both lenses are within the tolerances you should not see any big difference.

I think you have to experiment with different settings and see what you like the best. When you change your settings, only change one parameter at a time. We all like different sharpening, noise reduction etc. When you experiment you'll also learn at the same. If you feel you are not getting sharp enough results, here is one video you might find helpful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKdlm7V127W8Z4E.html

I don't have the G85, but DPR website says it can shoot FHD 60p.

I guess the relevance depends on what you want from your camera and what you expect from your photography.

@@mattisulanto I'm approaching the photography hobby, I like the idea to take photos during my trips, the city and wildlife. I would like something that I can take with me as often as possible and that would be a solid foundation to learn and improve. I like the idea of MFT because the lenses are small and cheap(-ish).

I'm using the GH5s.

It looks like there is no limit. If I choose the lowest video quality, the camera shows me more than 12h of recording time on a 64GB card.

I think the official sync speed is 1/200s. When I use my Yongnuo YN560-TX remote and YN560III flash, I can get a clean sync at 1/250s. at full flash power, but if I use low flash power I can get 1/320s. It depends on the flash too.

sulantoblog thanks, I have the exact same flash and remote controller, so this info couldn’t be more helpful.

@@dragancete Great!

I have never seen the G95, but I think it has nothing to do with PAL or NTSC. It's just a different model for some markets.

Thanks, I may do that in the future.

I've seen photos of the current situation. I hope it'll get back to normal soon.

KL?

@@DaveKingMusic Kuala Lumpur😀

Same in Singapore - greetings from down South!

Hard to say why they chose it like this, but it's easier to read the true pixels from the sensor.

Hardware problem so it will never be corrected by a software update. If you use the full sensor (20Mpixs) you have to downgrade the image to 4K (8Mpixs). This is a huge amount of processing power. The G90 is more an upgrade of the GX9 than a downgrade of the G9. I was soooo disappointed by that. The G80 body size was perfect.

@@theosalah7202 I am deciding now, which one to buy...G95, or G85. The grip on a Olympus E m1 mark ii was a perfect size for me...is the G95 close to that?...........

Yes, I can recommend it for street. Almost any camera works for street photography and it's a personal choice always.

@@mattisulanto Alright Sir. I'm going for it. Thank you for your guidance Sir 🙏. Have a wonderful time ahead 😊

@@mattisulanto Sir very sorry bothering you again... how's the AF and Battery life of G95 ?

@@joyjeetpaul2218 The same AF as on every Lumix of the same generation. There are plenty of opinions on Lumix AF online, please do some research. I think it's good for street photography. Battery life is good in my opinion, but it depends on how you use the camera of course.

@@mattisulanto OK sir... I'll do research on AF. And I don't shoot videos at all sir . Strictly focused on Still Photography.

I hope they'll add the live composite to other models too. It's such nice feature.

@@mattisulanto could you do a video on using the live composite feature? That would be great :-)

@@MichaelGerrard I'm planning on that, but it was almost impossible in the summer, because the sun barely sets. Now that the fall is here and the evenings are getting dark again, I will make a Live Composite video.

@@mattisulanto a good reason to like the darker Autumn evenings :-)

I'm not sure of the weight of the G7 or the FZ1000, but I suspect the G90 is a bit heavier than the G7 and a bit lighter than the FZ1000.

sulantoblog Hi fair enough. The reason I said G7 as 14.46 oz it would easily called a traveller’s camera if its close to that but with FZ1000 29.4 oz its a bit difficult as a very heavy camera. Thanks for the reply and the G90 looks very nice.

@@GenosGlory normal people use grams. Ounces...

I'll see what I can do. Thanks.

I think it works quite well, but of course not as well as with Panasonic lenses. It depends on what you shoot.

My G90 is made in China. I know already what you are going to say😀, but I think good and bad quality can come from any country. Another matter, of course is, if you don't want to buy anything made in certain country, regardless of the quality.

@@mattisulanto My G95 is made in China as well....No difference with the G90 on that side. However, the Video output is NTSC on that model.

Here in Europe they sell body only too.

Thanks for that info and you are most probably right. However, in real life there is no discernible difference in the image quality.

While there are differences between the G90/95 & G9, multiple reviews on line indicate they use the same optical sensor, 1 of which follows, www.digitaltrends.com/photography/panasonic-lumix-g95-unveiled/

I see a difference only over 1600 iso

Ho una G80 in ufficio e ho comprato la G90 per mio uso personale. Ho trovato una grande differenza sia per la qualità delle immagini sia per l'ergonomia e i comamdi. Anche l'AF va molto meglio

Is it possible, that you a better photographer than your friend?😀

I could take better photos than yours with a GM1. I don't think it's a scientific comparison. I have the G80 and G90 and I find the G90 two notches above. The G9 has another philosophy of use, more professional, too heavy and large for tourism and street

It isn't exactly. I am hobby traveller photographer and G91 will be my next camera. Probably, you can find smaller and lighter cameras on market, but with less features. Relative to set of features G91 is one of the smallest and lightest cameras on the market. In this price segment, of course.

I happily used a G9 and 12-60 in Berlin for 2 days and size and weight was not even an issue at all as I carried it in my hands all day pretty much. Not an issue and that's a bigger heavier camera than this.

@@JoeMaranophotography I would say the g9 is worth the 10-15% extra cost over the g90 only because of the viewfinder (+50% res). And that's before counting all the other benefits, like better weather sealing, top lcd etc.

Howard Chud: Depends on the traveller, of course, and purpose of the travel, location...etc. Open up to those possibilities. If you want to do video of decent quality when travelling then this is a small camera. 😉

having a different opinion doesn't mean you have to make a stupid comment
