While it isn't a plastic end cover for the BLH-1 battery, I'm a fan of the Rogue Photographic Design battery pouch that holds 2 batteries: (1) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B075LQSFHD/ref=psdc_3346201_t2 ...

While it doesn't address the other points of wifi vs. usb tethering, you could presumably use a tablet with a larger screen and connect a bluetooth mouse to it if you prefer to use a mouse over ...

According to the G9 compatibility chart: (1) http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/connect/g9.html The ...

Officially the manual says that the E-m5 mark II, and E-m1 mark I are rated to IEC Standard Publication 529 IPX1 for splash resistance. The E-m1 mark II is rated to IEC Standard Publication 60529 ...

One radical thought might be get the smallest Windows computer, laptop, etc. that will run the tethering app. Put that with the camera mounted on your tripod. Then set up an ethernet network ...

I never shot with a Nikon DSLR, but certainly my Olympus DSLRs (starting with the E-1) had back button focus and RAW support.  So I assumed the OP may already have used them. In terms of video, one ...

Note, the OP is specifically wanting power zoom to shoot video, not stills.

There are only 4 power zoom lenses in the micro 4/3rds lineup. All are older lenses, and at least one (Olympus 12-50mm) is rumored to be discontinued, but it is still on the Olympus USA website: (1) Pa ...

It probably isn't what you asked for, but here is the pointer to an older thread on how to control your Lumix camera from a web browser: (1) https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/54695316

Yep, both the flash hotshoe hump and more importantly the EVF sticking out make it problematical for using pants pockets.  I figured it was on the edge of acceptable image quality, but I thought I ...

I use the Olympus Stylus-1 often times for indoor, no flash shots. Sure you are pushing things with a 1/1.7" sensor, but it has a 28-300mm equivalent f/2.8 lens which helps. I can fit it into my ...

Olympus recently put out a maintenance kit for the E-m5 mark II (as well as separate kits for the E-m1 mark I and mark II cameras) that includes the various parts that get easily lost (hot shoe ...

But in order to use it, you need to use an older camera, since Olympus has phased out the accessory port.  But you don't want a really old camera, since the eye sensor (and maybe something else) ...

I recently replied about the differences between TFT LCD viewfinders (Olympus E-m1 mark I/II, Olympus E-m5 mark I/II, Olympus E-m10 mark I) vs. OLED LCD viewfinders (Pen-F, Olympus E-m10 mark ...

No idea, but if you have an android/apple smartphone with wifi, you could use the smartphone as a remote shutter release once you download the Panasonic app. Sure, the phone interface can be ...

Yes, that is true for the medium/high end gear, but I wasn't sure whether it was true for the compact cameras. Note on page 27 of the manual, it says that both AVCHD and MP4 recording stops at 29 ...

I get annoyed by the over saturation of the E-m10 mark II and G85 cameras.  But you really need to compare them yourself to see if one is better than the other. Note, the E-m5 mark II has a fully ...

The E-m10 mark II/III and the E-m5 mark II no longer have support for the accessory port, so the VF-4 (or VF-3/VF-2) cannot be used on them.

Note, the following cameras use a TFT LCD viewfinder: (1) Olympus E-m1 mark I (2) Olympus E-m1 mark II (3) Olympus E-m5 mark I (4) Olympus E-m5 ...

My niece got married today, and I did video of the ceremony. The G85 was my main camera, but I put the LX10 on a second tripod, and used the Wifi interface to control it. The main ceremony lasted ...
