Nice review, the 14-140 is hard to beat. It’s definitely been carefully considered in how it was engineered with a balance of performance and portability. Pana could have done a 12-200mm but they didn’t, probably because of what was all shown in this video. I really like Panasonics 12-35mm f2.8 lens though.

Just wondering: I assume you have a preference for Panasonic Lumix over Olympus, can you explain why?

Gary: we love your inspirational videos but in this one, when there is music, it is so loud that we cannot hear your voice or the music "blows out" our ears so we cannot understand you for a few more sentences... is there any way to fix this issue? Thanks

so 7.5mm laowa or 8-18mm pana?

I shoot with APS-C, Full Frame, & Micro 4/3, depending on the situation & my mood. I particularly like Micro 4/3 for walkaround street shooting, for the size/weight & especially the greater depth of field it offers. I walk around with a wide angle set at f8 or f11, rarely giving focus much thought.

The 35-100 f4-5.6 (H-FS35100E) actually does have Dual IS - in fact it has full Dual IS2 functionality since the 1.3 version of the firmware back in July 2020. Dual IS was implemented in this lens as long ago as December 2015 I have this lens and the 35-100 2.8ii 'Pro' version and honestly, they are both fantastic lenses. I use the f4-5.6 along with the 12-32 on my GX and have the perfect travel setup. The 2 2.8 lenses I pair with the G9 (now G9ii) for the sturdier build, weathersealing and so on

FF is not everything. But MFT is not either. To say it is so compact and less costly is simply saying nothing, because there are many factors that affect everybody differently. For me for instance: I want serious gear to photograph birds in flight and wildlife as a hobby enthusiast. Low light performance, great AF , at a budget of $5000. I chose Canon. R7 with a speedbooster on a used EF 500 F4 is mk1 gives me a 550mm F2.8 equivalent with F4 DOF for $ 3000 all in. If I use it bare, I have 800mm F4 equivalent with F5.6 DOF. Add a used EF 1.4 TC iii and I have 1120mm equivalent F8! The TC and a used EF100-400 L ii set me back another $2000. With that setup I have equipment that outperforms my ability. And I can buy a FF body and use it on those lenses if I want in future, or I can invest in some awesome RF glass in future… That is me, others will see it differently. I don’t walk around with my camera and a 35mm lens in case. I just use my phone. But when I get a chance to go into the bush…

Good list! I've been using M4/3 cameras years. Recently bought a Sony A7iV at a heavily discounted price out of curiosity. Quickly discovered one key advantage of M4/3 that I wish I had known -- the sensor readout speed. I use electronic shutter by default with my M4/3 cameras (OM-1 and EM5iii). One major reason for me to use mirrorless cameras is to be able to shoot fast and silently. With Sony A7iV or other low to mid-range full frame cameras, you better just avoid using electronic shutter and use mechanical shutter by default to avoid rolling shutter and banding under artificial light. OM-1's sensor readout speed is 8X faster than A7iV. Even my older E-M5 iii is 4X faster. Unfortunately A7iV also have a very loud mechanical shutter sound, and the shooting experience feels sluggish coming from M4/3. For me to enjoy the benefits of electronic shutter with full frame cameras, I'll have to shell out BIG bucks for full frame stacked sensor cameras.

MFT is one of the easiest formats to adapt vintage lenses to, especially the ones with a smaller circle. On a side note, I'm having trouble hearing your voice over the music in the intro and outro.

This video proves once again that talent and skill will make any shortcomings in image quality irrelevant. These are stunning images, and unless you're going to make wall size enlargements I don't see any major advantage to using full frame or larger formats.

I have a good selection of Olympus lenses and some adapted lenses, all for affordable prices!

But there is no alternative option that match Nikon Zf with 28-400mm f4-8 lens

Do you sell photos on micro stocks ? Like shutter stock etc ? And do you sell smartphone photos also ?

I wish they’d update some of the really compact bodies.

One reason not to get a micro 4/3 camera. I have a large collection of vintage lenses some 24mm and quite a few 28mm adapted to a crop sensor camera gets me in the focal equivalent of about 36 to 42mm and that's what I'm looking for.

Is it bulky?

Hello from New York City! Please help me understand, what is a good way to affix the Ulanzi MT44 selfie stick to your camera bag using two carabiners? Thank you for your informative video.

MFT is very good for Macro and Tele pics.

This is so helpful , Thanks Bro <3

Hi Gary. I have been an Olympus fanboy and I have many of their cameras. But, I have seen so much about Panasonic cameras on your channel as well as others, that I decided to spent $200 and purchase an old Lumix G6. Well I fell in love with the operating system and the user friendliness of the camera, that it became my "go to" camera. So now I bought a Lumix G85 on MPB for only $327.00! I wanted a weather sealed camera with IBIS. I have not yet received my new camera, but I am very excited to be getting it. Thanks for bringing me the wonderful world of Lumix cameras. The only thing I have against them is how big they are. Even your GX85 is big when compared against many Olympus cameras.... I will keep you updated as to my experiences with my G85.

Great Video Gary...Liverpool Kev here again from UK...I have been in Micro 4/3rds from the beginning....I have thre camera bodies and virtually every lens that features in your videos which makes me feel at home watching you haha...I bought by chance a FujiX100V over twelve months ago and love that too by the way...Take Care Gary...Thank you for taking the time to share your views..in such an informative and friendly fashion...rare these days...Cheers Gary...Liverpool Kev

There's always a reason to use MFT. Whether it's a GM1 or GH7. ;)

love your Passion ~

like your video so much!

Would you make a video about taking photos at concerts with the gx80? (low light, in the club or other inside venue)

A new GX with all the features mentioned would be an instant buy for me. I was pretty set on getting a G9, and then by coincidence I went on a trip with a group of friends and one of them had one. After trying it, it reminded me of why I got into Micro Four Thirds in the first place. The G9 is a great camera, but it felt too big. Sticking with my GX8 for now, which felt really compact in comparison, and even the GX8 is large when compared to my old GX1.

Hi Gary! I have watched several of your reviews and am seeking advice. My goal is to have 2 lenses that will be suited for family gatherings and traveling with a goal of shooting landscapes, flowers, animals, northern lights/night sky, and distance things (we are going on an Alaskan cruise and I would like to have the ability to shoot land from the boat as well as things in the water). I am also hoping to film exercise videos for my youtube channel (camera on tripod and me in a chair) and would love it one of the two lenses I purchase work for that as well. I could also see myself printing a few shots, no larger than like 14x20. From my research, the G95 fits all my needs. I am leaning toward the 14-140 and 75-300. Would I ever miss the 12-60 for my purposes?

Panasonic 20 mm and the Olympus 12-40 f2.8. But as it would be an em1 mkii body, it’ll be the 12-40 f2.8 every day

The 14-140mm is such a good lens. Those were some great shots. Do you toss the lens hood to the wind normally? Or are there times when you do use it? That 5:46 shot was really good. So was 7:46.

I have a Nikon D5600, a Panasonic G80 and a 12 year old Panasonic FZ 38 which works as well as the day i bought it. I can take very good images with all of them. The quality of the G80 matches the D5600 and the old FZ38 can produce amazing results that come very close to the other two. Totally agree that you don't have to have the biggest and best.

OM or Lumix?

Heyy can suggest good beginner micro 4/3 cam?

Just did a long asia tour with nearly the same combo of gear! Totally agree with the lens choices, especially carrying a fast semi normal prime for low light. Those situations pop up a lot during the day for visiting shrines, temples, caves, historic buildings etc. so it’s great to keep one in the bag always. The 14-140 is a champ, even for some wildlife photography. And the Laowa 7.5mm, excellent for giving context to narrow streets and walkways, even very close to”macro” for camera-tolerant subjects. Thanks for helping me settle on this combo with all your travel videos, Gary!

Nice video. Appreciate the share. Do you ever use flash? What programs do you use to edit? My entire collection is Em1 mkii with 17mm F1.8 and 45mm F1.8.

Hi! I am wondering how do you set up the gain on your audio interface some say set it before it clips but some also say set it low as possible. Thanks🙏

My 75mm is extremely sharp too. However, the really cheap Sigma 60mm f/2.8 from f/4 is just as sharp as this 75mm.

Hiya!, amazing ~

You will never convince me that there’s any downside to using one lens over two lenses…

How would you think, about G100 without ibis VS GX85 with ibis? I will be overseas, travelling light, doing my workplace's handheld video documentary next month. GX85 is perfect for me if it wasn't the lack of microphone hole. G100 is perfect if it wasn't for lack for IBIS... The only perfect MFT for my dilemma is G95. But the size made me consider, if the size as big as G95, why not bringing A7III.

i am looking for GX85 ...but i heard the GX85 autofocus for video is really bad at 4k ? how about 1080p? and focus hunting ? and is that AF FAST in video....pls comment .thanks.

go back to basics. rather than going out with 3+ lenses and a tripod, just take a standard prime. give yourself limits.

We need G9II in GX7 body, period :)

I have four cameras and tens of lenses. Five days ago I decided to write a computer program which picks me randomly one camera and one lens for that camera and then I take that combination for my photo walk. Perhaps this method can help me to have fun and develop my skills too. I have to use one lens which perhaps has totally different focal length that I am accustomed to. I haven't used this method much yet. But that's my new idea to give a try, at least sometimes. 😎 This also makes me to use my whole camera gear not just my favorite camera and favorite lenses.

I agree with you man. Panasonic needs to put the "Micro" back in M4/3. A GX8/GX9 styled compact weather sealed body with the new 25mp PD sensor is needed. I still can't believe Fuji is just going unchallenged in this segment. If we get this, I would definitely buy one.

They should update the Lumix DC-G110 with in body image stabilization and the new sensor as well as autofocus for under 1000 $ would be a perfect camera.

Thanks Gary, appreciate to pep talk 😀

Put the micro back in micro four thirds! That means updating the olympus 17mm 1.8 with a sharper version, the 9-18, just all the small stuff that's gotten old
