Which do do think deserves the number one spot?? Check out the description for all the linked videos to learn more about any of the cameras mentioned 😍📸

[@stevesnyder2500]

I have a collection myself, including several from your list: PEN-F, GX850, G100. I use my G95 and GX9 more often than any of those, but I try to have the GX850 or G100 with me for everyday carry. I would rank them differently, as I almost always choose the G100 over the GX850. To be honest, I wouldn't classify the PEN-F of E-M5 as super small. My number one from your list would be the G100. It isn't as small as the GM1 or GX850, but for just a little more size (not much) you get the EVF, 20 megapixels, LMonochrome D, and more. I prefer to have IBIX, but none of the cameras that I would put on the list have it.

[@jocko_]

The Panasonic GM1 with the 12-32 zoom, 45-150 zoom and 20 1.7 is still my travel kit after all these years. Wish Panasonic would bring back the GM series.

[@hckroess]

I wouldn´t have seen it, if you hadn´t mentioned it. You are a natural beauty and one of the most competent camera reviewers on youtube! You do an amazing job! By the way, my everyday camera is the Olympus Pen PL 7. Capable and small enough, and the white version gives extra points for style. I love it.

[@lumixographer2185]

FUNtography: Emily's guide to releasing your inner child through tiny cameras! Remember when photography was fun? Before megapixels. Before raw, AI, "grown-up " cameras with big lenses, etc. Remember your first camera. No bells or whistles. Small and fit your hands. Simple to use. Point and pray. The delight of getting close and surprise when it turned out right. Technical perfection wasn't the goal. Tiny cameras that you carried everywhere. That was FUNtography! And, Emily's "tiny cameras" remind us that small things have joy! I've owned or now own several of Emily's top 10. The Oly PL6 fit in my pocket with 14mm lens as a street/landscape/interior camera through Holland and Belgium. The Lumix G100 has earned a place in my bag with my G9 for an upcoming Africa safari. The G100 with 35-100mm f2.8 is a killer low light 4k video beast! My GX850 with 14-42mm Power Zoom was a faithful companion through the Amazon, Andes and Machu Picchu. It now brings delight in the hands of my grand daughter as her first "real" camera. Try one of Emily's tiny cameras or others like these. Get over their technical limitations and rediscover the simple joys of FUNtography. And then, give a tiny camera to a child you love. Pass it on!

[@user-ey5le1ql5r]

Thank You ! I recently bought a second hand GX800, using an Olympus 17mm I had mounted on a Pen PL2. It is such a pleasure to have back a pocketable camera ( Rollei S35, miu 2, Sony V1, Ricoh GR1, etc…). I have now a 9mm toy lens and will probably step by step complete a lens set. Your enthousiasme and the fun factor of your photography approach is refreshing. Merci Madame !

[@andresalgadomarques]

Great video, as always 😊 I have the Lx100 ii, the EPL-9 in faux blue denim, the E-M5 iii and the GX9, as my Micro Four Thirds cameras (also an OM-1, but which is larger) and I love them all to bits. If I had to choose one... I don't know, maybe the EPL-9 for looks, portability and features, or the E-M5 iii since it's also small and of great quality all around 😁

[@jayforcinema]

I really love the GM1 and GM5. However, my most preferred everyday travel camera at the moment is the Fuji X-T20. The sensor is lovely, the details are crisp, and the film sims are sooo goood (I'm too lazy to process images, so the presets make life way easier, plus makes you mindful of what you capture). While it lacks IBIS and weather sealing, the overall experience is fantastic and it's pretty light and pocketable too :)

[@KatayinGaming]

Thanks for making this video and the series, been in the market for an everyday type camera to go along with my Rebel t7, and the micro four thirds segment of cameras seems really interesting, and street photography is the current passion.

I've had the lumix gx880 from a video I saw you use and I love it. super sharp, amazing everyday use for real perfect for parties if your sick of film cameras

I used to own the em5. ❤️ I used it with the 12-40 mm Pro lense. It was amazing. I have big hands, so I bought the camera grip and battery grip. A small camera with a huge heart. ❤️

You are a blast...My little brit friend. Now I'm thinking about getting an used olypus. Great video.

[@JeffWernerIthacaNY]

I recently got a Pen E-P5 in white enamel on metal that looks like an old kitchen appliance, takes the same batteries as my E-M5 II but it has a pop up flash and I put stickers all over it. Fill flash plus a silly looking camera that makes people smile = amazing! The photos it takes are identical to the E-M5 II. I recently gave up on film and have embraced the older cheaper little cameras in part inspired by your KZbin videos, thanks!

[@juliettemansour]

I loved this so much! 🎉 probably my favorite video thus far. I just bought the GM-1 last week - thanks to you ❤. I’d like my next camera to be the EM-5 since I’ve had my eye on a M43 for “casual” birding/wildlife. I’m thinking of the mark iii though. Would love to know your thoughts or perhaps a future “best birding m43 camera when you don’t want to spend the cash on the OM-1” 😂. Thank you Emily!

[@ericmenu5408]

For me the number one is the Lumix GM5 ! I love mine, I had a GM1 before, but the GM5 is better as it brings a much more usable clickable wheel (great to change aperture or ISOs, compared to the one on the GM1 which leads to error by pressing it when we want to just turn it) and a tiny viewfinder which is very useful when the sun is very bright. It also add eye-focus AF for portraits, so usefull ! You can also move the focus point via the touch focus screen, great ! So for me this is the best tiny camera ! :)

[@xxxxtripxxxxOSG]

The older Olympus EM cameras are a fantastic deal. I have an E-M10 that I picked up for about $150 that I have gotten beautiful shots with (especially with the amazing 45mm f1.8 lens). I also recently picked up a first gen E-M1 for $250 from MPB for some of its features, such as focus stacking and higher burst speeds, and to pair with a 75-300mm for a budget wildlife rig.

[@RogerinFinland]

Great video as always!! I regret selling my GM1, but I might get one if I find it 😊 Good luck with the British heat!

[@Clicker3]

I really like the way you delivered this video

[@rosecocolee1019]

They look so great, I am thinking to purchase some cameras for travelling. But for any reason I cannot find any of the cameras you have reviewed and I became interested not even at MPB, I just saw a couple of them used from Ebay. I am not 100% sure if I can trust them and buy it... Great videos anyway, so joyful and educational.

[@Centauri27]

Great recap, Emily! I'm going to pull out my E-M5 right now and rekindle the love. 😄 (I currently have the Mk III and while I like it, I don't _love_ it...)

[@garycasey7986]

Some suggestions for series 2: Lumix GX80, Olympus OM-D E-M10 (any version) and..... Fujifilm X-E3. Keep up the great work 👍

[@markfarmer36]

Stumbled across you channel the other day, and really enjoying your content, I love the smaller cameras and often find intake out my TZ90 over my eos50m mk2 due to the convenience of not having to change lenses etc.

[@markfarmer36]

Keep up the great work

[@simonatterbury]

For a pocket sized street camera I still use my ancient Olympus PM1. Not great in bright light as you cant see the flipping screen but still allows you to make some great photos in A, S or M modes. And the thing is 11 years old and still working. Very interested to compare the GM1 to the PM1.

[@ordinosaurs]

My all time favourite micro four thirds camera is the Olympus E-M10 mk II. It does everything the original E-M5 does, plus it has WiFi connection, and a tiny flash. But no weather sealing, sadly, otherwise it would have cannibalised the e-m5 mk II market. They are this close (another point of difference : unlike the E-M5 mk II, the E-M10 mk II doesn't have hi-res).

[@durium3113]

I love my Olympus EM 5 iii. The stills and videos are of good quality and the stabilization is excellent. I recently got a Lumix LX10, which I really like. It takes excellent stills and video and fits in my pocket.

[@Rob-mf1hw]

I just found your channel and I love it! Question! Any recommendations on a small (sling?) bag to carry my tiny camera and a couple of tiny lenses?

[@jamesquarterman491]

Great list! I would love to see you pit the LUMIX GM1 against the Olympus EPM-1, as the smallest and second smallest cameras available!

Olympus OMD E-M5 does have a nice grip and battery add on you can get. I photographed a lot of weddings with the E-M5 back in the day.

[@sonicamente972]

Some Samsung NX are a joy to use. Pretty small with APS-C sensors. Also the Canon G7X and G9X -any mark- are pocketable for day to day use. They are not M43, though. Great channel and really love the content.

[@Flowurgirl]

You rock! Great video!

[@JDGarcia]

Love your content. I haven't jumped onto the mft wagon yet, but I'm waiting for a small pocketable camera that has phase detect but that's looking less and less likely as it seems like even small sensor cameras are getting bigger for some reason.

[@CaldwellCoffee]

Love our LX100! It is so versatile and compact.

[@martingreenberg870]

Congratulations to the EM5. I’ve owned and gifted this body to a co-worker. In retrospect not a great move on my part. Love the colors out of this body. Good IBIS. Nice feature set. Surprised this body was rated #1 as it is am relatively large body for an EDC. My nomination for season two is the Panasonic GX85(or 80 in your part of the world). It has the same feature set as the EM5 but I think it is a little smaller. Same 16MP sensor? Notice I didn’t give this gem away. The GX9 may be better but in an incremental way. It is also cheaper than the GX9. That is what happens with older cameras. The same is true for the LX100 vs. the 100ii. With older models good enough is sometimes good enough. PS: The GRiiiX is an interesting pick. Not M43. Fixed focal length. The 40mm FOV is a good compromise between 35 & 50mm. Of course it is a street cam but also good for EDC as that focal length is close to the FOV of our eyes. Yes it is tiny (another reason to buy it) but mighty. And as you rightly point out, expensive. There are a hard core of fan boys/girls for the GRiiiX just like the larger and difficult to obtain Fuji X100V. For me, the GRiii is too wide @ 28mm but YMMV. Nice series. Please continue.

[@normee7249]

I have the E-M10II with the E-PL7 as back-up body/battery. I now use the E-PL7 as my tiny snapshot camera and the E-M10II has been relegated to mostly adapted-lens duty as my main camera is now the E-M5III for its great value, PDAF, 4K, etc. That GRIIIX always intrigued me and I'm still waiting for a great PenF-Pro body 🙄

[@jonathanangel6243]

I love your videos. As an EVF fan I am surprised the Lumix GM5 didn't make your list. Too expensive these days?

[@NPJensen]

I think, I agree with you on the rankings - you got it right in my book. My first MFT camera arrived yesterday - it's the Lumix GX8, and it really hits the spot for me. As far as pocket sized cameras, I enjoy the Olympus XZ-1 (I wouldn't mind getting my hands on an XZ-2) and the Lumix LX3.

[@lumixographer2185]

The Lumix LX7 is my FUN camera! An "ancient" wonder!

[@bavideomaker29]

Nice list. I really prefer having an EVF, or at least the option of an external one, so many of these don't work for me. I love small cameras for street, hiking and EDC. I have the E-M10 ii and Leica D-Lux 6. I often look at the Pen's but I don't think I'd gain much. I love everything about the GR except it's styling and price. I would love to see your thoughts on retro "digicams" and older advanced compacts like the Lumix LX3-LX7, Oly XZ-1, Canon S95, etc.

[@jameslevine6137]

Thanks for the great review! I picked up an E-M5 in December for USD$175 shipped. I could have chosen a less-worn unit, but adding separately the $15 flash, an $8 eyecup, and a bit of glue, it's working just fine. It's my first m43 camera. I'm impressed by the features of such an old camera! I do hope the m43 format continues. The E-M5 doesn't officially have focus peaking, but there's a clever hack using one of the creative modes to give it funky peaking that works pretty well much/most of the time.

[@MicroFourNerds]

Ooh thanks for the focus peaking tip I’ll have to look that up! Yes I think getting some cameras more “used” and doing some quick tweaks is such a great way to get a good price!

[@barbgannon3252]

Pair it with an oly 45mm for some stunning family pics or the 25mm for travel everyday photography.

[@sherwinclarencego1933]

Not Micro 4/3rds but I find the Sony RX100 series (get the VA if you don't need telephoto and get the VII if you need telephoto) is great for travel. Versatile all arounder and very pocketable... But I love the GM1 the most.

[@christill]

That Pentax looks great fun, and I love the novelty of such a small sensor on an interchangeable lens camera. But I think realistically, if I was going to buy a small camera for everyday carry, it would be a Sony RX100.

Picked up a barely used Olympus E-PM1 (the pinkish model) a few weeks back and that, with the 14mm LUMIX pancake lens, has become my everyday carry camera. Loving the photos on it and the portability. But hating the Olympus menu system on it.

Great lineup! I'm still sticking to my EPM2 with 14mm F2.5 lens which I got for AU$100. Would love to swap it for something with wifi and floppy screen for selfies. It's such a pity that Pannys GX and GF have this very limited shutter speed! Would love myself a GM5, but their prices sky-rocketed along with GM1s and PEN-Fs! Is there space for a Nikon1 in Season 2?

Interesting video and list. Thank you.

[@mattfowlerkc]

I agree the EM5 has held up well over the years. I have the original EM1 which adds some size, but also some features for a similar price. I’m with you on the Ricoh being overpriced for what it is. I would have a hard time paying that much for it.

[@busydadscooking001]

For reasons only known to panasonic, the GX800 is the GX850 in the US and GF9 in Asia, for anyone shopping used. The lineup must have been extraordinarily confusing at the time, with the 850 not selling well vs the GX8 or GX85 ... which themselves are also labeled differently in other markets. Don't forget the GX880, which is apparently the same as the 800 except for extra menu options! If there is some pattern or consistency here with how Lumix was labeling their cameras at the time, I don't understand what it is. They're all good cameras, they're just confusing to pick one.

[@jonccwong]

So the GX85 isn't 'tiny' enough I figure? got the GX85 as a travel/second shooting camera to pair with my S5IIx and found a deal with for a GM1 for my wife :) she's in love with the size of the GM1

It's such a shame the PEN F didn't have weather sealing as to me it looks like such a fantastic camera overall and would probably be my choice anyway. I haven't done any photography for a while now and I'm looking for something like this. I had a DSLR for years but just found myself not taking it out with me anymore due to it's size and just started using my phone for the odd snapshot. I love the styling of a lot of 4/3 cameras as they remind me of the Pentax and Olympus film cameras I had in my teens and early twenties. I'm definitely hoping to buy something 4/3 soon and this video was a great help. Thanks.

[@zenlife1200]

I've really loved watching this series Emily and I'm looking forward to season two. I only wish I had access to some of these little cameras here in New Zealand. It's just so hard to find those cameras here and even when you can, the price is higher than it should be, probably because of scarcity. Luckily I still have my EM5 mk1 that I bought in 2014 so I still get to enjoy going out with my little camera with it's small lenses. I do wish Olympus had weather sealed those f1.8 lens though, it would have been great with the weather sealed body. My daughter has a little pink Olympus EPM1 with silver lenses. It's handy having the same lens mount so she can borrow some of my lenses. That's one that wasn't on your list, maybe in season 2?

[@BiggeDink]

I've had all the cameras on your list except the Ricoh. My choice is the Olympus E-M10 IV or the Canon G1X mark III. Be aware that cameras with non-removable lenses can get issues with dust on the sensor.

[@007JHS]

An interesting presentation on a range of cameras... I'm surprised though that you don't have anything by Nikon (or Canon)... I have a Nikon P7000... lots of features plus an optical viewfinder and it fits in your pocket which means you can unobtrusively take it out and on fully auto get some good pics (and videos)... I believe later models than mine did have an articulated screen.

[@haulfilms]

Olympus Pen-F looks very nice 😌

[@stephenbrasure4331]

I'll second your choice as the Oly E M5 as the best of the lot, and suggest going for the Mark II or even III if the budge allows! And for season 2, you know you have to include one of the Olympus M10 cameras, and in particular the M10 Mark ii because it was an improvement over the first model, and has the more complete (if challenging) menu versus the Mark iii which was a step backwards in some ways. At current used prices, it's pretty hard to beat for being a bargain camera that will still take great pictures! Great video...lots of fun....and informative. Personally....think I've said this before....if it doesn't have an EVF, it won't be in my bag, but I'm just an old cranky guy!!

I agree em10 is one of the greatest bargains on the market for the image quality they take. Combine it with a prime lens and you be surprised by the landscape or portrait results. But in my experience, the menu is a mess. If you get used to it, go for em10 or em5 for sealed body

[@michaelwalsh7846]

Hmm. I have GM1, as a pocket/video travel camera, so no weather sealing needed. What I want is finder, as in daylight you see nothing from the back of camera/phone etc toys.

I would like to see how you like the E-M10 II. I think you may even like it a little better than the E-M5. Here in the Netherlands, they cost roughly the same on the secondhand market. But the E-M10 II is significantly more modern than the E-M5.

The EM5 doesn't have a built in flash but it did ship with a little add on flash that tilts for some bounce. The FL-LM2 model. I like the idea of the LX100ii as an all in one everyday carry camera too.

@@zenlife1200 : Is that the same flash that comes with the EM1 mark ii? Mine broke very swiftly, lol. I think it has something to do with the contact points. What’s your preferred method of carry? What genre do you shoot?

What do you think about the YI M1?

[@user-lw6iz7zy2o]

The E-M5 is still a really nice camera, I have mine now for 10 years and used it just this morning. The build quality is really nice and that is why I still like it a lot besides my em-1 iii is better in every spec way. The only real flaw is the eyepiece and the hotshoe cover which both fall of easily. There is a Nikon eyepiece that does not fall of that fits but does not look as sleek. I consider buying a gx80 as that is tiny bit smaller than the E-M5 and more modern and probably similar in terms of image quality.

A side from owning the Pen-f you convinced me to purchase the Gm-1. Ordered from Japan via Amazon in, in...... orange 👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️. Can't wait 👍👍👍👍. Case only. I will fit to it my Olympus pancake zoom which supposedly is better than the Pana although not stabilized.

[@MicroFourNerds]

Ooo I love the orange one too! I'm sure there's a purple/pink version I need to buy at some point to complete the collection. Hope you love it! 😁

I would love an updated version of the DXO1 with a small back screen like the Osmo Pocket.

[@sou_usavlogs]

I tried all possible words and I didn't find any of these cameras on the MPB Site, can you send me the link?

[@jemmathomas4951]

Honestly my head is fried i travel and live to take street, micro and landscapes sunaets , ohh and capturing the bursts of sun, wanting a camera that fits in my pocket. My ixus 510 has departed to camera cemetery. But wasnt good on the landscapes Please can you help me I did have a shot of tje ricoh but found it didnt for me have the burst of colour when the sun popped out and micro wasnt as powerful as my lixus 510 x

I’m delighted you chose the EM5 for the #1 spot. You mentioned in another video that you had to replace the rubber part in front of the viewfinder. I too have need of that rubber part - could you suggest where I might buy one?

[@MicroFourNerds]

I found it on ebay though I imagine there will be quite a few 3d printed option elsewhere too 😊

What about the GX80 in 2024? Since the prices for used gear and lenses on MBP are quite high in comparison to new stuff (at least here in GER) and I’m shying away from eBay offers, I’m considering buying the GX80 new with the 12-32 mm lense. But then at the same time, the age of the GX80 is a bit of a bummer. I wish they hadn’t discontinued the GX9…

[@Diago767]

Great video as always! Just curious if you considered the GX80 for the list, I know you had one in the past but you don't seem to talk about it all that often anymore, is there a reason you went off it? I bought one a few months ago (partially on the strength of your old review) and I love it so far, I was comming from an old canon DSLR though so maybe anything would have seemed amazing 😁

[@martingreenberg870]

See my comments above. I agree the GX80 is a banger. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

As the internet's biggest proponent of tiny cameras (as far as I'm concerned), I'd really love to see you get your hands on a GM5. For me that seemed like Panasonic pulling out all stops to create a really capable TINY camera, and there's really no replacement for it.
