This Camera Changed The Way I Shoot 

i found my wife's old RX100 in our junk drawer at home in february of this year. That got me into photography and i've gone sort of wild with it now (had an xpro2, q2 and now shoot on an SL2-S) The SL2-S is absolutely wonderful except for when photography is secondary to whatever else you are doing. My RX100 sadly got a splash of saltwater in it, but has been replaced with a GX85. Perfect for almost everything and couldn't agree more with your overall sentiment. Cheers.

I agree with the small camera concept, I use the LUMIX DMC-TZ101. Just a little smaller, uses a 1" sensor, and built in 10x optical zoom. Before that, I wore out two lumix ZC70s, but it took over 100k photos on them all over the world to do it. I always have on with me.

Mate, XT4 is not full frame. It’s APS-C

Absolutely love the m43 system for the form factor of both the bodies and the lenses. Extra fun pairing them with their prime lenses: 14mm 2.5 (nice, wide, sharp, and really fast af) and 20mm 1.7 for lumix and the 17 1.8 from oly. I’ve really enjoyed shooting in Olympus’ b&w film mode on raw+jpeg then getting pleasantly surprised to see what the raw colored versions look like when I view the files for post processing.

Agreed with the video. I moved from a Nikon D7000 DSLR (and a beloved Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8) 5 years ago to go for an E-M10 MkII. I found out that I have had SO MUCH MORE fun than with my Nikon. Less bulky, easy to pocket, a ridiculous range of affordable, small and cheap lenses. I completed my gear with so many primes, an E-M1 MkII, and recently found a bargain GX8 for £375. I bring my E-M10 MkII everywhere whereas the Nikon I had to plan to go somewhere or do something which at the end killed my will to just document my life. Regarding losing details in highlights or low light, as you said it forces you to be more precise with exposing right. And this is the thing, many people, dare I say "RU-vid professional photographers", ALWAYS put that as a con to m43: megapixels. They only rely so much on this, they just take pictures without actual purpose then on a laptop abuse the large amount of pixels to crop and recompose. Same with dynamic range to fix their bad exposure and lighting. To me, it screams lack of creativity, not owning the limitations of your camera that force you to be creative and adapt, to turn them into advantages. To me, photography is about being in the present, observe, document life. Yes specs are important, hence I would not buy a camera older than 10 years, today's standards are important, however, specs are not everything.

I have one of those, super handy bit of kit. I bought it as a backup to the main camera, tiny with the same lens mount, but it has become the default edc. Way better than using a phone, not just for image quality, but ergonomics and data security. If you drop it in a river or get it nicked by some fly by on an electric scooter (seen it happen in London), you don't lose all your data and apps.

I had that camera once. It is true that the camera is convenient, but for photo. It can last all day. For video it easily overheat when shoot longer for more than 10 minutes. Really love that small form factor. Wish lumix update that camera. For its memory card, battery, and USB S.

How is the viewfinder on your GX 85? Thanks.

I have 4 mft bodies, E-PL8, E-P7, OM-5, G-90 (and ‘for shits and giggles’ pledge for the Switchlens in the works ). I have currently 11 mft lenses (5 primes and 6 zooms). I unsurprisingly have other camers both digital and film, + 360, and action cams, and Lumix TZ90. As a personal observation, I would say that I enjoy shooting with OM-System/Olympus more than Lumix, (hence the reason I have 3 vs 2 lumix), but if I could only have 1 camera, it would be between TZ90 and Osmo Pocket. Do you feel the XT-4 is a camera that makes you enjoy taking photos more? It seems that Sony and Lumix are both awesome Camera manufacturers, but their products just seem a little too clinical, they lack ‘soul’ As a Fuji shooter, what do you feel?

nice pics, and thanks for the video

Thank you for this video. I am a two system shooter. I use LUMIX M43 & Fuji. Rather than the Bodies you use I love my GX85(80) and 9. Small. Lightweight. IBIS. Tilting screen. EVF. Beautiful images. L monochrome and L monochrome D B&W jpegs are my favorite. I love these bodies so much I bought backup bodies. My biggest complain Is both bodies lack a microphone jac. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

i can say for sure, this camera are better than ricoh gr 3, that camera are not useable

beautiful images, thanks for sharing!

fantastic video! Thank you for sharing your insights!

The 3 Lumix models (gx800, gx850, GF9) that you name are all different with different specs .. not the same model ... Hmm 🤔 I shoot with them and I know they're different.
