In my review, I found that the 14-140mm lens is somewhat better than the 12-60mm lens: http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2016/12/lumix-g-12-60mm-review.html On the other hand, the 12-60mm lens has a ...

The Lumix 12-60mm is a good kit zoom lens. The image quality is not stellar, but it is very good, and certainly good enough for most conceivable use. The zoom range is good, and it is weather ...

It is wrong to say that a digital rangefinder camera does not need complicated mechanical engineering. The rangefinder mechanism is basically the same as in the film era cameras, and that is one of...

Not sure what exactly your AF needs are. For most conceivable uses, I think you will be happy with the AF speed of the lens with a modern Lumix camera. AF during video recording will not be as ...

If you got the lens, you could probably grind off the flange with a dremel tool, and use it on the J5. But that would require quite a bit of work and risk.

I retired the Nikon 1 AW1 today, replaced with the Olympus TG-5. It is better in petty much every way: * Smaller, lighter, cheaper * Better lens specifications * Image stabilization (very useful!) ...

I have made a head to head comparison of the two lenses here: http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2015/01/samyang-12mm-f2-review-compact.html Both lenses are very good, but different. For most use, I ...

I just use the drive wheel on the top of the left camera shoulder. That works well on the Lumix GH series, and G80.

The GH5 battery generally lasts quite long. I haven't noticed any worse performance when using the mic. Battery life hasn't been any issue for me. I haven't noticed this issue. So not a problem for me.

I have used it for some years now, and it works fine on all Lumix cameras with a mic input. I have used it so far on the GH3-5, G80. My review: http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2016/07/rde-videomicro-r ...

The G80 is a superb camera. No need to upgrade now, I agree with you. I got the GH5, and from my point of view, the GH5s would be a downgrade, as I really like the IBIS feature. http://m43photo.blo ...

That's good! In that case, I would use the mechanical shutter most of the time, which is virtually inaudible, and revert to E-shutter when there is very little ambient noise.

I haven't used any of those, but recent Lumix M4/3 cameras are typically in the range 1/20s to 1/30s. http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2017/04/gh5-e-shutter-is-slower.html I have used both Nikon 1 and ...

I have done the same transition myself, and I think the M4/3 setup is much more fun to use. With one exception: Birds in flight, where Nikon 1 performs much better. But mostly, I don't miss using ...

That is my experience too. If I want GPS, I need to launch the app on the Iphone, and then it runs in the background.

Keep in mind that the focal length is measured at infinity focus. At closer focus, the focal length tends to wary, especially with internal focus lenses (like virtually all M4/3 lenses). This is ...

For compactness, get the 20mm. Otherwise, I would get the 15mm. The 14mm is only interesting if you are interested in extreme compactness and wide angle. Otherwise, the lens is somewhat dated, and ...

Some cameras use less bit depth in electronic shutter mode, meaning that you'll lose some dynamic range. But very little, and the difference is pretty much immaterial for most conceivable use. Olym ...

I don't think you will be losing out much if you continue to use the G9, and forget about the X-H1. Perhaps some might find this provocative, but I think the Fujifilm X is mostly for those who have ...

Back in the olden days, I would carry a Nikon 1 V3 camera and 70-300mm lens, for a very compact 800mm equivalent package. However, now, I would probably rather bring along the PL 100-300mm lens. I ...
