Smallest Tiny ILC M43 Travel Cameras- Amazing Quality MFT

[@silverstreettalks343]

I see these lovely little vameras and they do make ideal travel cameras. I have had a couple of 1" sensor ICL cameras when I've travelled and experienced the difference it makes to have an entire basic camera system spread over two jacket pockets (spare battery in the shirt pocket, of course.) I am now using and enjoying a GX 8, not a tiny camera by any means, but still more portable than my original Sony SLT. It strikes me that we often think in terms of professional cameras -v- travel cameras, but there is at least one class which isn't often mentioned; that is, business cameras. Many businesses could make great use of small but powerful cameras which may not be G 9s or EM-1s, but produce excellent results for reports, newsletters, brochures and such. In my town planning days, we did some enforcement as well as the day to day development control work. We also worked with health inspectors and building assessors and there were many times when a travel sized camera would have been ideal for obtaining not only useful information for our internal purposes, but high quality images which could also be enlarged to A4 size for use in court reports Perhaps promotions could pay more attention to such use cases.

Pretty refreshing to see these older micro four thirds cameras being demo'ed and used. Great walkthrough and awesome photos!

[@golfbulldog]

So great to hear you talk about photography with passion rather than pixel peeping. So many other channels talk about what you can't do with equipment, you focus on what the small cameras can do. Thank you!

[@MarkusPix]

I like to see how far I can push stuff and what I can get away with :-)

[@cdb702]

Really like the practical, real world, no nonsense, no time wasted approach.

[@lcdemack]

This video has my camera ethos written all over it. Bravo Markus! It's why my first real new digital was the GX1 which you showed, and today I'm still using my GM3 and GX850 all the time even tho I have plenty of other bigger cameras. These are the kings of travel cameras. I have never understood why these cameras never became hugely popular for travel by pro-super types given their size, matched with their interchangeable lens functionality and tiny but fast lenses. They are fantastic for travel, or that night at a party where you don't want to take a big camera or stick out at the party, and yet all along you have a great tool with an amazing depth of manual features, and amazing results. And! You can take one or two more lenses along in your pocket. A bit slow compared to some these days, some focus issues depending on the lens you use, no in-body stabilization, but only on some slower lenses, but you just need to learn how to use this camera and the best suited lenses and you're golden. Love that you did this video. It hits the nail on the head of why these cameras have no match for their combo of features, and I hope in years to come someone will continue to produce a tiny but very capable interchangeable lens camera like these.

[@greentechnology3529]

Thanks for the presentation. You just showed why the different "reviewers" paid by Canon, Nikon or Sony want to "kill" the MFT so much.

[@roxbittman]

After watching this (in June 2020), I searched and searched for a Panasonic GM5 and I did find one (in English!) on ebay. It took a few weeks to find one that was not from Japan, with the Japanese menus. I looked up how to "win on ebay" and used their tips and I won it (cost me $481)! I am so excited to use this tiny camera, which I will pair with the Panasonic 45-175mm (90-350mm equivalent) lens for now, because I love that set of focal lengths for the photography I generally do. This lens zooms internally so it's really small ( for 350mm!!) and light. The entire thing will fit in a pocket. (Yay!!) Later, I may try a fixed focal length lens that is faster and with better bokeh (as suggested in your other videos). I'll have to decide how much to put into a MFT system, since Olympus just announced they're getting away from that now. Anyway, THANK YOU for this video and the review of the tiny travel cameras, and I can't wait to play with it! Your videos are uniformly informative and most of all, USEFUL, unlike so many photography vlogs out there. I am so grateful. Happy summer!

[@LyndonPatrickSmith]

I gave my Panasonic GM1 to my daughter for her travels. One thing that always impressed me about it was the video quality. The 1080p coming off of this little camera is great!

[@protestagain]

I totally agree that the Panasonic GM1 and GM5 are some incomparable cameras. Have both, but a lot of optics for m43, but also other optics. They work with all of the optics, and slide straight into a pocket.

Just traveled in Europe last week with my GM1, super handy with good quality, and i just bring 3 lenses 7-14mm 25mm 1.4 and 56mm 1.4, walk around the city whole day without feeling tired.

[@k203]

MattxMatt Hey - I was wondering, can you record videos on the gm1 with the flash on? I have one myself but the flash doesn’t seem to turn on when I start to video? Thanks

[@kasaz]

Kyristol Smith Just buy a Ulanzi led light + cold shoe mount ,it's cheap and small, I got one around $20

[@komandagleby_GB]

I bought an orange GM1 for my wife and replaced it with silver GF7 and orange GX800. The latter one supports "NTSC" frame rates in mp4 mode, so it was not a problem for me. I have never really missed GM1, because both GF7 and GX800 were good enough substitutions for me, being nearly as small, adding flip-out monitor and removal of AA filter on the sensor, and addition of DFD autofocus. These small cameras are indeed marvels of technology and useability, especially when served as a second and backup body. My GF7 took great pics of hummingbirds in Costa Rica, saved the day and vacation in St. Petersburg, Russia, when my GX85 was dropped and stopped working, and GX800 was a remarkable tool in hands of my wife in Puerto Rico, when she took great pics of pelicans-in-flight (!) at Playa Tamarindo east of Guanica. Pair those tiny bodies with such mighty plastic fantastics as tiny 12-32mm and 35-100mm collapsibles and you are set to go to take great pics!

[@repmidwest]

Love these budget camera reviews. Gives us passionate yet poor photographers some hope of improving our craft without spending more a camera then I’ve ever actually spent on a car. 😂

[@cycletouringoz5760]

As time goes on and this technology moves so quickly. Brilliant little cameras like these are long forgotten. Thanks to these guys, it just goes to show that older does not mean crap. I am a shit photographer tbh. Have a GM1 and a Pentax K-50 in bright red that is a three man job to carry around. Tomato red too but a pretty decent, if quirky camera.

[@martinschnabel1961]

Hi Markus, I want to tell you that I love your channel. You are very positive and you stick out from the others. Because of your good reviews, I bought a used GX850 in new condition for 219€ and a Olympus 45mm 1.8 for 180€. I am absolutely excited about the quality it delivers in such a tiny package and for 400€ combined. I spent thousand on photography equipment and this is by far the best bang per buck. If I had known that before.. could have saved a lot of money. I'd say that it would be sufficent to shoot weddings, if it had a hotshoe. The size is perfect and so much less intimidating to the subjects. I always loved panasonic for the good usability and menues but ignored the brand after moving from the FZ1000 to more serious equipment (canon dslrs, Fuji). I am happy to be home again with the little gx850.

[@MarkusPix]

Yes its a little fun buddy to play with for sure

[@cmartin_ok]

It's a real tragedy that Panasonic never replaced the GM5

[@Paul_Wetor]

Love the GM5. I got a GM1 but when the GM5 came out with a viewfinder, I had to have it.

[@johnmatthews1095]

Yes !

[@unbroken1010]

Thanks

[@johnmatthews1095]

Even looking at the gx9 today i note it doesn't have auto iso in manual mode like the gm5 does. And I shoot in that mode most of the time. Fingers crossed my gm5 never dies then i guess

[@johnmatthews1095]

And that thumb wheel makes all the difference, the gm1 was very screen centred which wasn't much use in bright sunshine. We just sold our gm1 and bought a second gm5 instead. I've got a gx9 but for walking / climbing it's a gm5 I reach for

[@Segador-uk]

My EPL5 and 45mm 1.8 are go to for stealth portraiture in grainy film simulation at ISO 12800.... The kit delivers!

[@martingemmell3089]

Bravo, refreshing outlook. Currently doing the same myself with Olympus e-pm1 and kit lens only 12mp but prints great at 12x8 and so much fun, much lighter than canon full frame bag. Keep up the great work.

[@OttoVonRaz]

What a cool video! I regret having sold my GM1 a while back, I find myself missing it. I've wanted a GM5 but it is sold-out everywhere I look! Wow! It looks like Panasonic hit a home run with the GM5. I love shooting my Sony A7iii for my client work but it's just too big for walking around and having fun. Perhaps I'll pick up a used Lumix GX850...? Thank you again for posting and sharing.

[@markattardo]

Wow those are small but apparently mighty minis. A video on using a gray card for white balance would be cool if you haven't done one yet.

I like the Sony RX10 MK III for travel. Nothing beats the lens... 24-600mm optical and great quality. UHD video recording with hi fi audio if using external microphone.

[@eldorado5650]

Thanks for the review/video. I do photography as a hobby and have the GM5 with me for 5 years now. I carry it around my neck all the time because I want to be ready every time there is a good subject. Mine is currently paired with the Lumix F/1.7 25mm and I think that lens is a bang-for-the-buck. I am more into the photography rather than the gear so I think the camera will be with the family for a very long time. I love the size of the GM5. It's not as obnoxious as other cameras with bigger bodies and that's good for street photography, which is what I am into right now. I find that people as subjects are much more comfortable around a small camera than a larger one. My 3 other brothers do photography, as well, and the one who is currently in Japan told me 3 years ago that the GM5's 2nd hand price appreciated too much to the point that shops there had to display their rare stock separately from the others. I completely understand because the Japanese carry their cameras all the time and even in the metro, it can be seen that people have their cameras around their necks. Lightweight ones really help a lot with their walking/photography culture. I thought of going full-frame 5 years ago and, after imagining myself carrying a Sony full-frame all the time, which is kind of tedious, I went to the camera store for an alternative and I immediately saw the GM5. I tried it and fell in-love with the size. I researched about the MFT format, which was launched by Panasonic and Olympus in 2008, and learnt that it's a good platform because everything was engineered from the sensor to the body to the lens, making everything compensate for the difference in size vs larger formats. The Panasonic-Olympus lenses interchangability is a plus for me that time. I could buy my preferred lenses at a decent price vs lenses from larger formats which were up to 3x more expensive than MFTs that time. The MFTs are alive and well. Olympus, which is the best-selling camera brand in Japan in 2020, under JIP will release the OM-D E-M10 Mark IV in September 2020. Other camera manufacturers jumped on the MFT format in 2020, making us have more lenses to choose from. Right now, we are already spoiled with so many lenses to choose from and we are about to get even more. I like Panasonic/Olympus and Sony cameras. Panasonic because of the reasons above and Sony because they keep on pushing the technology envelope, making them the benchmark right now. I have subscribed because your content is more about the photography rather than the gear, which most camera-oriented YTers have in their channels. Cheers.

[@MarkusPix]

I agree! I love those little guys- I have two GM5 and GM1, three GX850 and a bunch of other misc small lumix cameras, they are addictive. Some people rescue cats, .. for me it's Panasonics lol

[@2musiclover534]

Just chanced across this. Super. I still travel with two GM5, and three primes, and they fit into a tiny pouch. You should get a Rokinon fisheye. Mine happens to be sharp corner to corner wide open at f3.5. I shoot down to 1/20 and it is tack sharp hand held with good breath control. It's too bad that they never updated it. My other two travel prime are the 15mm f1.7, and 42.5mm f 1.7 with image stabilization. Of course, at home, I even put that large 42.5mm f1.2 among other primes that I have. It remains a credible tool.

[@TexpatOTG]

Small cameras are great! I am an a5100 user ... I have one that lives on a gimbal, and another to carry. It's missing the features of some of the other Sony's a6*** series, but its size, flip-up screen and touch to focus make it a winner for me. I think that the size of a camera is inversely proportional to the amount of photos and video you shoot. That's why I love my small cameras. Great video, I enjoyed seeing the cameras and your shots ... thanks!

[@MarkusPix]

Yes I love my 5100 also

Markus, I've watched your health and wellness videos for years and have greatly enjoyed them. I was pleasantly surprised to see you doing this camera review. Thanks! I'm wondering if the Panasonic 15mm's aperture ring works on the GX1. I saw you had it mounted to it.

[@villemononen5303]

Good stuff and great lenses you chose! The orange GM1 is still one my favorites! I use it so often. It's fun to use, delivers the pictures and it's color just always brightens my day. For accessories, i prefer adding the Flipbac G3 grip (basically to most smaller cameras without a grip) and there's extremely tiny arca-swiss plates to tripods (Ebay etc.) that work very well with this camera. I'll DIY a hot shoe from an older film camera to it soon enough. I don't (yet) use flashes though. Had the GM5 and it's a nice camera too, but i didn't prefer the LCD screen aspect ratio (step-down from GM1) and the tiny tunnel-like EVF, so i sold it. The GX1 is still the one i'm on the look-out for. Because it's the true successor to GF1, and GF1 has proven to be so durable, great in hand, with great battery that lasts excellent during winter too. It's a bit slow and outdated nowadays, but that's alright. It has proven itself to stand the test of times (and climates). And as you said, it pushes damn nice pictures still! Something about the older sensor type... Some fun lenses i shall suggest: Laowa 7.5mm f2.0 and the new Sigma 56mm f1.4.

[@villemononen5303]

Sigma would be somewhat heavy on the smallest cameras though.

Nice video! But what about the Panasonic GX9. It came out last year; 20 MP; hot shoe AND built-in swivel viewfinder; flip out screen; great BW profile. It's pretty much the same size as the Panasonic 850.

[@MarkusPix]

Yes its a good camera (I have GX8 also) but its considerably heavier and bigger than the cameras in this video. The GX9 is more the size of a GX85 not a GX850, and the GX85 is more of an APSC sized camera, in which case I might as well use my 6400. The reason I love M43 is the tiny camera sizes of the cameras in this video. Even though I like them, I hardly ever use my GX8 or G7 because they are the size of normal everyday cameras.

The Pany GM1 is so good,but you do have the Pentax Q who on the same size but is only 12 MP | 1/2.3" sensor ;)

[@MarkusPix]

The Pentax Q is actually only 1 mm shorter, has a smaller sensor (less resolution & less soft bokeh background) the GM5 has over 500% more pixel area, The PQ ISO only goes to 6400 vs 25,600 on the Panasonics, only 2 fps continuous shooting vs 6, no viewfinder, no touch screen, no wireless, no face detection, very low rez LCD (460 vs 921), no time lapse.
