I just bought a demo G85 and feel no regret. Sure looks new to me. I also bought a "new" E-P5 that had 60 clicks.. and a screen protector. Go figure.

Posts like this one will generate plenty of noise, you asked for it :-| Noise looks different to each of us so praising/condemning any image will create many clicks and comments but little of value. ...

Hmm specs pared down a bit - but it's 2019, FF or bust right?
If it said Pentax across the top the doomseers would be all over this - but it says Canon so I expect it should do fine.

I've been very happy with a GX1, which has video 'hacks' available for better video IQ and no ill effect on stills. However - I picked up a 'new' Oly EP5 at the Gear Auction Site for $260. ...

My YI M1 has a '2k' 4:3 mode that works well. Other features like AF speed aren't amazing but it's certainly a fair bargain if that output interests you.

I like my combo of 12-60 and 45-150, though 45-175 would be a really fine choice. So many zoom pairs have no FL overlap (e.g. 12-33+35-100) but I like having some range in common. I wasn't sure, do ...

The only threat when I bought a G85 was the Pentax KP. Good at all the same things but larger sensor and well liked 16-85mm (plus those nice Limited  primes). The G85 has 4k features and video ...

Seems we aren't making our points clearly. If you want 300mm on m43 it corresponds to 600mm on a full 36/24 sensor, or 450mm on aps-c cameras. That's why m43 long zooms start at 14 or 12mm instead ...

This was shot with a GH5 (or 5s) as they state in the video. We shall see how the S models handle AF pretty soon.

Since at least the GX7 you can also choose the spot-meter location separately from AF point without being forced to the image center like so many cameras. I like the touch-AE option almost as much ...

That method does sound awful. I just use the touchscreen with shutter not connected, that's precise enough for me! AF+shutter isn't bad either but I tend to jab the screen too much and prefer to ...

Having a match isn't perfect either, as you then need to unscrew/rescrew between lenses which in some conditions isn't ideal. I have Lumix 12-60 and Zuiko 70-300 so matching 58s, plus a 46mm for ...

The Pentax da18-55wr is a fine kit lens, with seals and very good close up abilities. Others prefer the 18-135 but I never had a copy that was decent beyond 80mm. I feel the added range of the ...

You can choose to carry less. If you don't choose to then another system will likely make more sense.

That is too many compromises for me to feel comfortable with. To optimize for really wide angles plus be decently sharp at telephoto means size and/or price will be well beyond my reach. The old ...

The new-condition $260 EP5 bodies caught me. Enough features in a small body with good control layout, great sensor & IS within. Maybe I shall add a VF, maybe not.

Just ordered one last night, so much for that new 20/25mm prime in the next few months. :-|

What a curious thread for the µ43 forum :-D yet I fit right in. My 40+70 Limiteds came along on my shift to Lumix gear, which will soon add a g85. No way the 45mm or 75mm Oly primes can be had for ...

My answer: Lumix 14/2.5, with "other benefits" being tiny and cheap. Certainly not the exotic or expensive choice.. but effective!

The initial release of the YI M1 was a tough sale despite the nice hardware features. Since FW v.3 it has definitely moved up the list though.
