Good camera. Like a Nikon 1😊

Huh this looks a lot like the Lumix g100.

On this little one, the 50 f1.8 AF-S turns into 150 mm😂

Nowadays phones are equipped with 1" matrix😂

I wouldn't mind even a slower aperture lens, if the bokeh were nicer to my preferences, for example I had a Fujifilm X100S, in operation it surely was prehistoric compared to a less older camera like the G1 X III, and its f/2 lens in full frame equivalence, I mean in how much it can defocus, surely is f3.2 or so, but it was a nice bokeh and rendering, my brothers pause a moment when they see the printed photos of family gatherings (yep, I am not a pro, so I prefer a camera I can hide into a pocket so I can talk and enjoy the gatherings) It seems not that different from a Sony RX10 1 and 2, with their constant 24-200mm eq. f2.8 lenses in their one inch sensors, cameras that I think have been replaced by the Sony RX100 VI which have the same focal length coverage and a slower zoom lens to make it pocketable, but then again the lens seems to be high quality.

I looked up ebay prices and it's too much for me, but I'm afraid it'll get only more expensive in future, cameras like this become really popular and it's weather sealed

I know the Panasonic Lumix CM1 from when it was new in 2014, but in my country it never came, I would have bought one if it was possible. In general smartphones are crap compared to real cameras. I had the Microsoft Lumia which had Zeiss Lens, it was good for a smartphone, but not compared to cameras, now I have the iPhone 13 Pro which is ok and have macro, but still not good enough. I hope that either cameras and lenses gets much better in smartpgones or that cameras and totally dropped from smartphones ! If cameras and lenses shall be much better in smartphones, then the phones need to be thicker, will people have thicker phones today ??? I do not think, so real cameras are the best for serious photography, I use Sony A7RV which is a great Camera.

I'm struggling with the fact that I can't buy not even one premium point and shoot in my country, the only one in stores or online is the Leica and it's super expensive. Dumb smartphones ruined the market 😅

I wish I could get one. Can't find anywhere on any marketplace

I remember this. I might buy this.

weathersealing is very important. my G7 died when sand got inside the zoom mechanism

Heard about this camera. Luckily i found your video. Wish sony could make it. Instead it focuses on 1 inch sensor.

I love my G1 X mark iii. Thank you for making a video about it! Here’s to hoping Canon makes a version four. I prefer mine with a leather half case to make it easier to hold (it’s so small it is borderline awkward for my adult male hands) and the screw on lens hood allows you to use a larger lens cover that is less fumbley and the lens hood gives good protection with the lens cover in your pocket against bumps or accidental finger touches. The lens hood also lets me attach a Nisi closeup filter for massively improved macro and almost zero setup. I still have one of the 3rd party petal automatic lens covers too, but I find I prefer the lens hood in most situations and you can’t use both. I set the front ring to step zoom and remap the AF point selection button to ISO. I live in Av / M. Two custom My Menu tabs give me good access to fast settings in the field. The lens holds the camera back slightly because indoors it goes pretty high on ISO / you have to watch shutter speed, and thus it’s not “for beginners” because it needs monitoring to give reliable or good results in these everyday low light situations. And I wish I could use it as a webcam for video meetings plugged into a computer. But I love it quirks and all. I don’t want a large camera for everyday life but I do love having one with adjustable controls like the G series cameras have. I’m also an R5 owner and the G1X is an excellent second camera. Please Canon make mark iv.

Just purchased a F1.8 lens for mine.

Agree with all the commentary. I was crossed between a Fujifilm X70, several M4/3 cameras, the Nikon J5, and the Coolpix A among 5 other cameras. I've got a bunch of other dedicated cameras but I don't grab them for every day photos with the family. To this end I also needed a flip up screen to grab a selfie with my fiance and myself every once and while. This and small size ended up being the goals. The X70 would have been the ultimate here but I can't justify the insane prices quite yet (maybe someday). I was able to get an excellent condition J5, extra batteries, the PD Zoom VR 10-30mm, the 18.5mm prime, the 70-300mm tele, and the 6.7-13mm wide angle, plus associated filters for just under $800 by some careful shopping. The cheapest good condition X70 I could find at time of this comment was $1272 on the used market which is just insane considering it was $699 new and I kick myself for not buying it then when I had a chance. If you can stomach the 70-300mm tele price it's an amazing compliment to the J5. I use it for birding pretty successfully.

I love this little camera it's so dinky and it's got everything Wi-Fi tilted touch screen and it fits in your pocket easily. On top of that I think it takes great pictures . Bought one a few weeks ago and another lens with it. Heck of a lot lighter then my G80 for sure.

For portrait photography,which will you pickup anyday? Great video ,Great stuffs.

the Nikon p7700 is better

kislux have a stunning collection!! Truly inspirational-found your channel recently, lots of love

Proponuje zlikwidować nadwagę.

Do you know how to take pictures with flash even tho it’s on the daylight? My câmara only takes pictures with flash when the light is dark.

Hi, nice video. I do have a Pen EP7, too. My first ever camera with interchangeable lens. I love it! Can you share the print file for the handle?

So cool. I want to see you wearing the bag and getting around all over the world🍘

Hey sir I want to buy a mirrorless camera but its too overpriced in india and it's far from my budget can you send me one

That's a great set! I'm looking forward for your video about the G1X!

Love it, that joby tripod is exactly what I'm looking for. Nice j5 pics as well!

Which would you recommend? The nx3000 or the mini?

Excellent photos! Proves the point it's apparently a very capable camera.

Great photos and review! Really unfortunate this did not sell better. Sure it was ultra thick by smartphone standards and lambasted for it but it was the slimmest 1" sensor camera out there by a fair margin. And if you ignore the ultrawide 19mm and 23mm 1" phones, which are a touch too wide imo for general purpose photography, it still is. Certainly thinner than carrying two devices. It bugged me that DPReview complained about the bulk when they are a camera website and the CM1 is comfortably in the top 1% of cameras with regard to thinness even including 1/2.3" digicams. They also did the CM1 dirty in their low light test by shooting at ISO 3200. Seriously considered switching to this from my Nokia 808 but the 808 had the same light gathering (f2.4 1/1.2 vs f2.8 1"), xenon flash, non-retracting lens, thinner, replaceable battery, brighter better screen, and sharper lens. On the other hand the 808 didn't have RAW and the manual camera controls were garbage. Dynamic range was also bad. Both had crappy autofocus and no IBIS but back then I thought, "Sony will fix this. They had a 1" camera with phase detect, xenon flash, image stabilization, and superb video in the RX100 IV so maybe some version could make it into a smartphone". It never did. Maybe if the CM1 saw some success that might have happened. As for smartphones vs cameras, I prefer the physical controls, RAW, flash, and normal focal lengths of cameras versus the extremely waxy, over-sharpened, and unnatural color output that has characterized most smartphones in the decade since the CM1. Especially irritating from Samsung and Sony who know better. The one computational feature I like that regular cameras don't have is the easy HDR since blown out skies are a pet peeve of mine. The ultrawides in smartphones can be pretty handy too even if the quality is typically mediocre. But it looks like the Chinese manufacturers are picking up the torch where Nokia (and Panasonic) dropped it a decade ago with a handful of 1" phones back on the market. And based off one comparison I saw on KZbin of the RX100VII vs the vivo X200, it looks like they are finally succeeding considering their first attempts at 1" phones in 2022 left a lot to be desired. Still nothing from the big three in the US though. I do more video nowadays and smartphone video tends to walk all over digicams so they definitely have that going for them. Neither are enough to make me happy though I really wish they were. If Panasonic does a new LX100 but with the phase detect and IBIS from the G9II, I can finally rest. PS, I actually like the fact you aren't using a teleprompter. The video and audio quality are great but it doesn't have an overproduced or over-rehearsed feel.

I got this camera new in ebay for 160£ + 20 for shipping. Unfortunately, the lens has error 00 and the seller didn’t help at all. I can't find anyone willing to fix it. Maybe if i get a new lens it will fix the problem?

Where do you find the adapter? Whats it called?

Inside the mentioned "light" mft cameras you will find everything your heart desires from a photographic point of view. However, the lack of an optical or electronic viewfinder is unforgivable! Admittedly, handling the small cameras is often a bit tricky, but you can generally select an automatic setting and turn the camera into a point and shoot device.

Alguém no BR vendendo as lentes?

I don't understand people saying the jpegs are awful. I do usually use RAW, but the jpegs are fine by my reckoning. I've owned the G1X ii for 10 years and still enjoy using it and its output. I've got crop sensor Canon's, Panasonics, Olympus, full frame Canons and two Leica digitals, and I would never sell my G1X ii. Horse's for courses I guess!

I feel that the limiting factors here are competition from other systems like m43 and pentax q, and the rather limited lens selection. The kit lens is neither compact nor very bright unlike the m43 kit lenses. The primes are few and rare. The pentax q can pair with the pentax 110 which makes manual focusing fun and they are also extremely sharp and portable.

Nice video man. I have the Canon Gx10, which is a super little compact camera and I love the zoom. However I'm looking to upgrade to a newer point n shoot ( I hate using my iPhone) on casual walks/trips so do you have any recommendations? cheers.

Buen vídeo informativo. Con las actualizaciones de KZbin, los subtitulos en español se me hicieron más fácil entender. Nuevo seguidor. ¿Hay más videos de cámaras compactas? Actualmente, tengo poco presupuesto y estoy en busca de una cámara compacta para viajes. Fotografía (buena calidad de imagen) y videos con buenos resultados.

When I bought into the Nikon one system, I started with the V1 and an FT1 adaptor and the 10 to 30 lens and the 30 to 110. Eventually, after the J5 was discontinued I bought it for a very reasonable price with the kit lens like you mentioned, I was able to purchase some extension tubes which with that 30 to 110 lens makes an awesome combination for flowers and birds with stabilization. It’s my travel ensemble like you say with very good auto focus and the lenses are so small that they fit into a little fanny pack when you travel. I carry two extra batteries as well. Tends to use up a lot of batteries. Like you mentioned it’s like an RX 100 with interchangeable lenses so very versatile system. I do have 6.7 mm wide angle zoom and it is a beautiful lens. It looks extremely sharp. I also use with the FT 1 adaptor with my 70 to 300 FX lens for birds which is a really good combination. The Nikon one system was way ahead of its time and it was the first point and shoot camera I ever bought because auto focus and low light abilities for point shoot cameras were terrible back then. I enjoyed your review very comprehensive. I also wanted that 32 mm F1 .2 portrait lens but like you say it’s very expensive. So I was able to pick up a 30 mm sigma lens and with the FT adaptor which works well as a nice portrait lens and has good background blur/bokeh. Regards Gerry

I enjoy your videos , can i suggest you lower your recording camera to eye level, it would look more natural than your current looking up to camera..

I have noted in the (Uk) Nikon One, Samsung nx mini, panasonic gx85 etc have all become a lot more expensive. I bought my Samsung nx mini a year ago and it has doubled in price.

A 1/1.7 sensor camera had no business being that chunky even in 2012. This was the time when APSC equipped cameras that were around the same size (or even smaller) were released - the Sony nex cameras, Leica's X1 and X2, Nikon's Coolpix A, Ricoh's OG GR camera etc.

how can i find that lens or how i have to search them? are these a cheap lens? 👀

Hello from France ! Thank you very much for this review. 🙂 I agree that there is not a lot of information on the E-P7 on the net so that is very informative to me. I currently just bought a used E-PL7 with its 14-42 pancake zoom. I am quite happy with it. However, I might consider upgrading to the E-P7 soon as I would clearly benefit from the better IBIS. Cheers :-)

2024 UPDATE: Lenses for the NX mini are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially the 17mm. I am going to start recommending most people in the market for a 1" camera with interchangeable lenses should choose the Nikon 1 system instead - it has similar lenses available and they are much easier to find at a decent price.

Hi, great video! I also got a chance to buy one of this baby but may I ask where to find the 17mm lens for it?

holy crap, just looked up so see how much this camera is, $600 to $1200 used...... WOW!!!

Great video, you are very clear in what you talk about. But I have noticed in a few of your videos, you are looking off to the side and Im assuming you are reading talking points, which is something I still need to get in my head to do with videos, but have you thought about a telaprompter?

Sony had a FF compact camera.

Thanks for the video! There’s not many of them on YT about the EP7 and yours is very clear. This little camera has been on my list for quite some months now and I noticed it’s now down to $715 with the kit lens in Europe (new). I think it’s time for me to buy it. :)

thanks for the review My search for an alternative to my aging fuji x30 and looking for something else than leica d-lux 8 leads me here. , amazing this old camera is still better than most recent one. , I wish you could provide some insight for portraits and dof
