Shout out to the one thing not mentioned in the comments below: the quality of your photographic examples. Most street photography reviews come with good reviews boring shots but yours are excellent, really well done. And as a daily street photographer myself I agree a tilting rear screen is a must have feature.

Good video. The GX7 was my second MFT camera, and I think it's an excellent camera for still photography. It has the best ergonomics of any of the GX series. My only disappointment is mine always had a slight lag between hitting a control and seeing that parameter highlighted on the LCD ready to change. I love tilting LCDs for street photography because they are much more discreet that an LCD hanging off the side of the camera.

I've just bought the G80 which is weather sealed and has 5 axis IBIS and cannot wait for lockdown to end and get on the streets with it. I ditched full frame 2 years ago for MFTs and do not regret it in the slightest. Good video.

Hi Boris - I can't believe I stumbled across a video that sums up my current sentiments exactly about trying to find an affordable(cheap) second hand micro 4/3 camera on a budget for video - I'm not after 4k or the latest features but with a tight budget I'm finding these Lumix and Olympus 4/3 micros really hold their value. I definitely will check out the specs on the G7. But the most important part of any camera is the nut behind the camera - great video cheers
@GrahamAtDesk Жыл бұрын
Superb video, you have skills. This is my favourite camera of all time, and when it launched it was the first time a bunch of key features had arrived in a compact Lumix body. The sensor was great, the front and rear dials were a significant upgrade over its predecessors, and the button layout was just right. And the grip! I think this is the most comfortable compact camera in the entire M43 line up. It's the reason I kept the 7 after buying (and then rejecting) the GX85 a few years ago. Pictures in good light were very similar, but the handling is much better on the 7. Mine is quite worn now, having been on lots of long distance off road cycling adventures with me. I'm tempted to get a spare. If the GX9 had the 7's grip I'd get one of those, but I doubt we'll see that return...

I enjoyed your video very much. I’ve got a gx7 and had it for years. The quality of the lenses are important but it’s the utility that I like. Yes over the years I’ve had loads of cameras including premium full frame and apsc but always arrive back at the gx7. Funny enough I’ve dropped it, misused it but still works. The only reason to change it is to by a gx9 which I’m currently arranging buy sell a couple of unused camera collecting dust. Thumps up for the video it is very good.
@TheCompleteGuitarist Жыл бұрын
I have GX85 (older brother) and the tilt screen can be used the way you look down into a dual lens reflex meaning you can take shots without anyone realising you are looking at them. Re: the app, while there may be lag, it is perfect for simple framing when you want to check your composition before shooting.

I still have my GX7 even though I’ve bought half a dozen LUMIX cameras since buying the GX7. It has great ergonomics, very good IQ and a super comfortable and secure grip. It was not quite as rugged as later cameras, but mine still works fine with its battle scars. The GX7 was brilliant when it was introduced compared to everything else. I can’t bear to pert with it.

Love this video! However I ended up buying a used GX80\85 which is basically a GX7mkII as it was more readily available and even sold new still, same price or cheaper and more feature packed; IBIS works in video (4k 30fps btw, 100mbps) and is 5-axis for example. The external monitor also works normally.
@JadeMonkee Жыл бұрын
It's also smaller! I've been considering swapping my GX7 (now my secondary camera) for a GX80 coz of the better IBIS and smaller size. Pairing it with the 20mm f1.7 is just gorgeous for low light street photography, too.
@TheRoadrunner11 Жыл бұрын
@@JadeMonkee @Simon Chester Can confirm that lense and camera combo are just too sexy! Just don't plan on shooting video with that lense. The autofocus performance in video is horrid. Btw I still have it and use it even though I also have a Sony A7III. Something about the small form factor and ergonomics as well as image quality makes it a great shooting experience! And thanks to the IBIS it's quite decent in low light if your subjects aren't moving too much. One thing to note is the built-in flash lost the ability to work as a wireless master for external flashes, in case you used to rely on that for the GX7.
@medes5597 Жыл бұрын
@@JadeMonkeehonestly I miss you the larger size. I adore my GX80 but ergonomically the GX7 just feels nicer in your hand. I'm genuinely kind of gutted they never made a grip for it, just to add some bulk to make it easier to hold Having said that, I have tiny hands, I imagine people with normal hands might find it more comfortable.

I LOVE everything about this video. You hit all the right and salient points. Not to mention your street and environmental photographer is on point. I'm a Fujifilm shooter, I used to be a Panasonic LUMIX shooter before moving over to Fujifilm. Within the past month I've sold ALL of my Fujifilm professional gear, the X-H1 and X-E3, yes I consider that a great professional B camera and moved back to MFT. However, this time I moved to Olympus. The feature set on the O-MD E-M10 and E-M5 Mark II's make for the best lightweight kit anyone could have. I still own a Fujifilm camera for street photographer and the one I went with was the X-E2s which has been a delight to shoot with. The bottom line, the latest and greatest is not always the best to have. It's about having a kit that gets the job you're doing done. My current kit all cameras combined weighs 1/2 what my previous kit ways and the quality of the images are just as good if not better. Because now I don't rely on gear to get the job done. I rely on my eye, composition, and having a far better understanding of photography than what I had 7 years ago when I started down this rabbit hole. The GX7 is a fantastic camera and the GX9 is even better and 1/2 the cost of the Olympus Pen F.
@boristakovski3 жыл бұрын

I considered upgrading to an SL3 but at $1000 with a kit lens in 2023 its not happening. Thats about the sasme price as th R10 but I would have to chnge mount sstems eventually and need an adapter for EF seires lenses. Honestly iPhone cameras have gooten so much better and having a video capability that can meet professional levels with ACES and Log makes it a strong contender.
